Does anyone know if Pbex is delaying drilling till next year? They are set up for many horizontal permits in Dawson, but I don’t show much drilling activity.

Just an FYI, PBEX and MCM sold a lot of their acreage and wells in Dawson county to Ovintiv

Sorry Kyle, did not see your reply before replying. I guess I just expanded upon what you said.

Though, for some reason my post is awaiting approval. Oh, well.

We were lucky enough to be drilled in Sec 25 - Caesars. PBEX, in an email between PBEX and another heir over a division order name error, revealed that Caesars, NY A and NY B were all purchased by Ovintiv. In her correspondence with Ovintiv, she was told Ovintiv took over the PBEX wells the first week of Nov. We believe we are part of Ovintiv’s Permian expansion described in their Aug news release.

Also, in Ovintiv’s 11/4 earnings call, it responded to a question about its intentions in Dawson Co with this statement: “Its initial targets are the Dean and selected Spraberry zones, focusing on shallower formations. It expanded its position because its team believes it understands the area’s geology. It plans to apply drilling and completion experience gained elsewhere in the Midland Basin. Management said it sees “a lot of great potential in that part of Dawson County.”
