Does anyone know the production of Warm Springs Unit A-1 in NW Dewitt county, Texas.
Also is there a web site where I could look it up every month, since our family money is in suspense cause of a stipulation of interest that we do not understand.

You will be able to obtain some information on the Railroad Commission of Texas website. You might have to call the RRC in regards to navigation of this website since some individuals have trouble obtaining the needed information from this site.
There is a video tutorial on the home page on how to navigate the RRC website. You can get production info there. Sounds like they are asking the owners to stipulate as to who owns what.
Hi Trinidad -
The Warm Springs Unit A Well No 1, API # 42-123-32682, located in the A J Harris Survey, A-220, Dewitt County, Texas, was listed as completed on 3/2/2012, but it appears that that Completion Report was filed only so that a State Serial Number could be assigned to the well.
The well was reported as having produced 1,851 Barrels of oil and 1,589 MCF of Gas in July 2012, but I have no way of knowing if that was for a single day or a week. No other production has been reported.
It appears to me that the well has not yet been fracked, which is when a Completion Date / Test Date will be more properly established.
Remind me in another couple of months and I'll look it up again.
What is the issue with the Stipulation of Interest?

I just got off the phone with a fellow Landman at Burlington Resources. She said that the Warm Springs Unit A Well No 1 was just hooked up to a gas pipeline on September 28, 2012, which is in part why I was not able to find any production information on it.
There is a 90 day grace period between the close of a business month and when production figures are required to be submitted to the Rail Road Commission, so I won't be able to give you any specific figures until maybe January or February.
The Landman was, however, able to tell me that for the first four (4) days of production the well averaged just under 1,000 Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD) and 1,400 Thousand Cubic Feet Per Day (MCFD).
Those production rates will "settle" over the next few weeks, but I think it's safe to say that you've got yourself a good well.
Tell me about the Stipulation of Interest and I'll try and help you sort that out. You won't be receiving any money until the paperwork is straight.
Hope this helps -

Trinidad,
With a well that large, you should have an attorney review the stipulation of interest. You are basically agreeing who owns how much, and it will determine payments.
Thank you Charles. My grandfathers ranch was spit up in 1997 between 10 children { there was 12, but 2 never married and had no children } so there was 10 tracts in the partion deed. One family left a sister out of their tract in the partion deed. We never question it because that is their family. It is also rumor that she is not my uncles child since his wife remarried, but we do not know. Now she and her brother had these landmen draw up this stipulation that says ownes a part of all the 10 tracts and we owe her interest from our money. these people who are Debra Richarson, Matt Bingham and Rocky Navaro want us to sign the stipulation, which gives her more land and money than the rest of us because they say she was deliberly left out of the partion deed, they say the state of Texas says that. We feel she belongs in her familys tract. Only 1 family of the 10 has signed the stipulation which they regret cause they were talk into it with promise of the money from the well. they did not know what they were signing. these people keep calling us to sign. Conoco Phillips told us that the title lawyer recommended they suspend payment. We think these 3 people who are the title lawyer and landmen are her lawyers, but we do not know.
Thank you, Trinidad

Trinidad,
You and your relatives who are in agreement on how the interests should be split up can share the cost of an attorney, but I still reccomend an attorney.

It sounds to me like the woman / purported daughter of your Uncle's was left out because your Uncle didn't consider her to be his daughter. The only way I know of to prove that would be through a DNA test, which you could take her to court for. Taking that avenue might end whatever relationship the woman has with your family, but it would certainly clear up the situation once and for all.
One thought: If your Uncle divorced his then wife because she was pregnant with another man's child, their may be something to that effect mentioned in the Divorce papers - has anybody reviewed that?
I agree with Mr. Caldwell - you should have an Attorney working for your family review the papers and the history of the land.
And I agree with Mr. Caldwell that all of the family members in agreement with how the interests should be split up will have to pitch in enough money to pay for the Lawyer. If you win, however, you may be able to make the woman pay your legal fees.
One thing you wrote that I don't quite understand was that they are granting her a greater portion of the minerals than anyone else. I assume that she is claiming an undivided interest in the entire ranch, but I don't understand how she would be attributed more than everybody else. How did that work?
Hope this helps -

this is the explanation landman Matt Bingham email me : According to the State of Texas, My uncle was her father. By omitting her from the Partition Deed, she became a direct decendent of my grandfather and aquired interest in and to all 117.75 acres. So by attending to cut her out, they actually gave her more interest. Many are not happy about it, but she is in fact a Nunico. This is all they told us, as you can see we are confused how this could happen. Is there such a law?

Hey, Trinidad -
I've been studying land title issues for some 34 years or more, but have never run across anything like this before. It appears, however, that there must be such a law - no Oil and Gas Attorney would risk losing his or her license over something like this.
I'd suggest that rather than the Stipulation and Cross-Conveyance, which appears to be causing friction in the family, that your family simply have a Correction of Partition prepared for all the present day family members to sign. Just add your cousin in where she needed to be in the first place and everybody's world will once again be running in greased grooves.
If she is not angry or bitter about having been left out, she should be willing to sign (Talk about an instant family heroine!). If she is angry or bitter, you may be in for quite a lenghty legal brawl.
The members of your family that have already signed the Stipulation and Cross-Conveyance can rescind them if they have been filed of record in the County Records. If they have not yet been filed of record, the company should be willing to return them so you can destroy them.
Hope this helps -
