I have mineral interests in the following Roosevelt County Township/Range/Section. Does anyone know of any drilling, past or present?
Township 30 North, Range 48 East
Section 18, 19, 20, and 29
There re quite a few dry holes in Sec 18, 19, and 20. Nothing has ever been drilled in 29.
There is one producing well in the SE/SE of 18 that began producing in 1960. It has produced over 1.2 million bbls of oil and is still producing about 10 bbls/day. Since you are asking, I assume you don't own under the SE/SE - too bad, that would have been a good one to be under. The wells in this area produce from the Nisku formation and are almost always small, isolated, hard to find accumulations, but very prolific when you find one.
For future reference you can go search the MT State records at: http://www.bogc.dnrc.mt.gov/
It is free and is easy to navigate.
Steve, my papers read: Section 18: E l/2. ??? Thank you so much for helping me, this is the first time I have had to do the tracking.
Well the East half (E 1/2) would include the Southeast quarter of the Southeast quarter (SESE) where he producing well is located. However, without knowing exactly what your “papers” are, it’s impossible to determine what you have, if anything.
