Continuing the discussion from [I’m giving Props to Anthem Energy](https://www.mineralrightsforum.com/t/im-giving-props-to-anthem-energy/88205):This is Stone Cold #2 and Hulkster. We have 8 tanks standing now. Any update

You can watch for production figures on the OK Tax site. The soonest they will be out is three to four months after first sales. It takes that long to make it through the reporting system.

You can watch for the frac completion on [www.fracfocus.org](http://www.fracfocus.org). That will give you an approximate completion date and then you can monitor the tax site. Use the advanced option. I just checked and no reports for those wells yet.

Hey Cowboy, What can I add as an update? What do I know? I know that Anthem contracted the Kenai 19 rig to drill the Stone Cold and Hulkster wells. I also know that according to CD2026-003090, that Anthem requested an Emergency Order for a Well Location Exemption because they had scheduled the Kenai 19 rig to be onsite to spud the Nature Boy and Hitman wells. Nature Boy was Spud on 9/17. Basic math tells me that Stone Cold and Hulkster wells were drilled to completion and rig was moved. Kenai 19 is now on the Nature Boy/Hitman pad. How soon will the frac team move on site and begin that journey, I have no idea. Todays Sentinel 2 satellite pass may be able to answer. Just know that resolution is poor though. With the help of AI though, assumptions can be made.

[www.fracfocus.org](http://www.fracfocus.org) does not have those first two wells listed yet. When the jobs are finished and posted, that will be a clue that the wells are fully completed.

You are completely right that FracFocus and the OK Tax site are the ultimate official sources we have to watch for finalized data, and your guidance on those timelines is always spot on.

I’ve just noticed a bit of a lag trend specifically with Anthem Energy’s regulatory and third-party reporting over the past year. For instance, with Gardner 1 and 2, the completion reports and FracFocus data didn’t go public until July 2026, even though PUN activity showed they were already producing back in November 2025. We are seeing a similar gap right now with Eagan 1 and 2, as well as Randy Savage 3J and Macho Man 3J—they’ve been online since August 2026, but the FracFocus reports haven’t surfaced yet.

Because of those delays, I’ve been trying to piece together the puzzle using a few other crumbs. By tracking the OCC rig movements, we can see the Kenai 19 rig already moved off and spudded the Nature Boy and Hitman wells on 9/17. Recent Sentinel 2 satellite imagery confirms the rig is gone from the Stone Cold/Hulkster pad, and it looks like the frac crew hasn’t set up there just yet.

FracFocus is definitely the gold standard for confirmation once it lands, but until their paperwork catches up, keeping an eye on OCC emergency orders, rig schedules, and satellite passes gives us a fun way to read between the lines!

What is the link to the Sentinel 2 imagery?

I use the Copernicus Data Space Browser. Here’s the direct link:

> [https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/](https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/)
> 
> It’s free, and I normally use the Sentinel-2 imagery and search by location and date.
> 
> One important limitation is resolution. Sentinel-2 isn’t like Google Earth aerial photography. Its multispectral instrument has 13 bands: four at **10-meter resolution** , six at **20-meter resolution** , and three at **60-meter resolution**. So even with the best 10-meter bands, one pixel represents roughly a 10 m × 10 m (about 33 ft × 33 ft) area on the ground. You can see larger changes and activity on a well pad, but you generally can’t reliably identify individual pieces of equipment or make precise measurements from the imagery.
> 
> I usually download or screenshot the best available images and run them through an AI image-analysis program. The AI can help me interpret patterns, shadows, pad changes, equipment concentrations, possible frac/flowback activity, etc., especially when comparing images from different dates. But it **doesn’t actually increase the underlying Sentinel-2 resolution**. AI interpretation is just that—interpretation—so I use it as another analytical tool rather than treating it as definitive proof of what’s happening on the ground.

Cowboy, Today’s Sentinel 2 pass over the area was a cloud free day.

Given the poor resolution of the imagery, the September 23 pass showed an empty pad indicating that Yes, the Kenai 19 rig had departed. Today’s pass, October 3, shows a very busy pad. Could lead one to believe the frac fleet is on location.. visual ID would be needed for confirmation. Or, whenever the official FracFocus report is submitted.

I was by the location this evening. No frac crews yet. There were workers still working on the tank battery.

I believe the Frac Team may be on the way or starting soon. Anthem had 2 pads (4 wells) drilling simultaneously. Stone Cold/Hulkster and Shepard 1 and 2 (Located over in Sec 35 14N 18W). All 4 wells completed drilling close together. It appears that the Shepard wells just finished up being frac’d. Their PUN went Active on October 8th. I don’t know for sure but it would be my guess that Anthem contracted the Frac team to continue on to Stone Cold/Hulkster site after completion of the Shepards.

I was by the Stone Cold pad again today and there still isn’t a frac crew on site. I’m sure Gore will frac the wells and they stay really busy. Also the availability of water is becoming a big issue. Anthem made a deal with a local land owner and he has dug out some old ponds and drilled a couple wells but it’s just barely getting by. They are pumping but it’s going on west to the other pad at this time. The Gardner wells and the Macho Man/Randy Savage wells were fracked using water from a flood control dam 4 or 5 miles east of the Gardner wells but it’s used up. Just been too dry too long.

Thanks for that information. Water shortage huh? That might explain why the water/proppant use was only about 70% of AFE planned execution for Randy and Macho

Hey Cowboy. Hope things are going well. Things “may” be looking up. Today’s Sentinel 2 imagery, while resolution is poor at best, appears to show so activity. If you look at the historical images over the past few weeks, there appeared to be very little activity. Today’s image is busier. Not 100% certain the frac team has arrived, but maybe we can get some eyes on it for visual verification. Take care. I’m still waiting for OCC final order signature for Randy.

Thanks for all the times you go by Stone Cold. I appreciate it. When you went by there last did you see anything with water at location. Lines, or anything else like that for fracking purposes. Thanks
