Anyone know anything about the recent activity in 10-2N-4W? I’ve seen Cactus rigs all over but I don’t have any info.
I do not see any permits on the Corp Comm website.
Michael, Continental Resources received a final order for drilling and spacing units in Section 10 yesterday. The next step will probably be to apply for a pooling order and most likely a location exception. Continental recently finished drilling Section 17 and should be fracking soon. Cactus Rig 152 drilled it. Newfield Exploration should be starting or already started on Section 16; I don’t know who the driller is on that one. Between Continental and Newfield, there are about 18 sections in Township 2 North that are at some stage in the process. If you happen to be driving down Highway 29 Section 17, Poteet 1-17H is on the North side about 2 miles West of Highway 76. Please let me know what it looks like, tanks set or anything else going on. Thanks, Mike
I will be driving through there Saturday and I will be sure and take note of everything I see. If I may ask, where do you get the info on Continental and Newfield? I’ve looked all over for that kind of info!
Keep bringing us the “good news” as you find out!
I have interests in 4 other sections as well; Section 1, 11, 13, 24. All in the 2N.
Go to: http://www.occeweb.com/index.html from the divisions menu click oil and gas then databases, instructions for the databases will come up. After you have done all that you can open the case processing database and search by Section, Township and Range or by relief sought to find orders for Spacing, Pooling etc. In the meantime I can look up those sections for you, are they all in 2N / 4W? Thanks for passing on anything you see on my well site.
Michael, so far Section 10 is the only one you got going. You are in the thick of it though. The following sections in 2N/4W are at some stage in the process: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 28.
Awesome!
I hope we see some more info in the upcoming weeks. Continental has sent us info on a rig they are about to put out there (or hire to put out there). Some 8 million dollars on a rig with a very sizable depth projection.
Isn’t it true that if they are drilling near a Section that your minerals are in, they could kick to your minerals and there roundabout?
Crossing our fingers!
That’s about right; ours was around $7 million. Total depth almost 20,000 ft. (vertical and horizontal combined). Not exactly sure what you meant in your last paragraph but I have read that the formations are so tight that they only get production from about 300 ft out from the bore. They are drilling Sections with plans for up to 8 wells per Section. Continental drilled ours starting 330 ft from the east Section line, leaving room for more wells moving west. They have been doing this a lot which requires a location exception order because the standard placement is 1320 ft from Section lines.
Interesting…
What I meant on my last post; sometimes they drill in one Section but they drill directionally and pull from several mineral Sections. Does that make sense? Otherwise, that is really neither here nor there.
How have they been spacing in that area? I know there are several ways to space. From your last post it seems they are staying pretty tight.
In Section 17 they put the unit (on paper) exactly in the middle of the Section, probably because they didn’t know yet which way they were going to drill. Before they started drilling in October they got a location exception to accommodate more wells. Next door in Section 16 Newfield did the same thing but instead of drilling south to north they are going to drill north to south. It will be interesting to compare the production when both are complete.
In Blaine County Continental is completing the first multi-Section well in Oklahoma. The horizontal going through most of 1280 acres and it only took them 47 days to drill!
Not literally going through 1280 individual acres but through two 640 acre sections, about a 9000 ft. lateral.

I just received a spacing request for Section 10 from Continental Resources. They are doing the EXACT same thing.
Centering the drilling point and dividing the Section by quarters.
We shall see!
Good Luck!
I am new to this group and have a question regarding drilling permits. I have noticed on the OCC web site that a drilling permit (well 1-12H) has been issued in Section 13, Township 2N, Range 4W; however, the drilling will also be under Section 12. If Newfield hits oil and/or gas, will it be pulled from both sections or just Section 12?
I have also noticed the same situation in Garvin County with a permit issued for Section 36, Township 3N, Range 4W and drilling into Section 25. Can anyone in the group explain what is going on in these two situations?
Hey Michael!
If you aren’t too busy, would you look at Section 10, Township 2N, Range 4W and see if there is anything new popping up? I can’t seem to get to the database that you use for this info.
I also have interests in Sections 1, 11, 13, 24, all in Township 2N, Range 4W.
Thanks Bud!
Danny,
I’m not sure about all that but I do know there are several people on this site that can help! You might want to start a new discussion and see if anyone replies!
Danny, According to the drilling permit the starting point is in Section 13 at 450 feet from the north section line. The first perforation will be 165 feet into Section 12 and the last perforation will be 165 feet from the north section line in Section 12. It appears that if and when there is production it will all be from Section 12. This is just my read on it, you might get a more educated opinion from someone else on exactly what this means to royalty owners in the two sections. I noticed the price tag on this well is $9.7 million.
Michael W.,
I’ll probably get a chance to look those up sometime today. Have you been by my well lately? Looks like we might have production in the next few weeks.
Danny,
Same thing in Garvin. Starts in 36, completes in 25. Looks like you have an active vertical well in 36.
Michael,
Still just the spacing order in Section 10. Nothing in 1, 11 or 24. See my reply to Danny above about Section 13. Drilling in 13 but completing in 12.
