Clint,
thank you so much for the picture, I love it. Sure is a pretty picture with all the wells all around. You did a great job, as usual. Thank you for all you do for all of us on the forum. We would be lost without you.

Exxon, Pioneer hype Permian growth for years to come. Some of the producers in West Texasâ booming Permian Basin would have you believe the hype cannot be overstated. The massive Permian shale acreage is expected to account for about 30 percent of all U.S. oil production by the end of the year and itâs easily the fastest-growing oil region in the world. The Permian, previously considered a mature area, is born again thanks to the shale techniques combining horizontal drilling with hydraulic fracturing. âWhat weâre staring at beneath our feet cannot be replicated anywhere else in the United States. Thatâs a given,â said Tim Dove, chief executive of Irving-based Pioneer Natural Resources. âWe have a golden goose right before us,â Dove said at the CERAWeek by IHS Markit conference in Houston. He joked that Midland -- the largest city in rural West Texas -- must have negative unemployment levels now. The Permian surge is âdemonstrably differentâ from Texasâ earlier shale developments in East Texasâ Barnett shale and South Texasâ Eagle Ford because itâs 90,000 square miles and the shale rock can easily extend 4,000 feet underground, said Dove and Sara Ortwein, president of ExxonMobilâs shale subsidiary, XTO Energy. âItâs clear now that Permania -- as some have called it -- is really not a passing fad,â Ortwein said, adding that ExxonMobil plans to triple its Permian production by 2025. The Permian is producing more than 2.5 million barrels of oil a day now and is expected to hit close to 3 million barrels by the end of 2018. Volumes should grow above 4 million barrels in the coming years if healthy oil prices hold. More at MRT.com

Be advised Clayton Williams, who recently sold all his equipment and holdings for 7.5 Billion bucks to Noble Permian, has land men in Culberson county purchasing land both north and south of IH-10.
He will be developing that county with quad and octal horizontal well
clusters on locations there and building his own gathering and refining
networks there.

Mike,
The last big spurt of leasing was in the early 1960's by Sun Oil. Section 265 is a highly fragmented Section because of the Torah Valley et al/swindle of the Southern Methodist University, in that small truck farm plats of land, 5 to 20 acres, were sold to "investors". Section 265 takes a whole lot more work to assemble drilling lease blocks than most of the other sections.
If not for the internet and our current Information technology they probably would be back to the days of having to hire detectives to trace any heirs down.
my spell checker app keeps changing toyah to torah, there may be some religious humor in that
Mr Rayburn, could you clarify something for me. I have received a letter requesting easement through our acreage. This is the second pipeline asking to cross our land. Will others follow, also requesting right-of-way? Is this common procedure? This one has offered a one-time payment. I wrote our landman for some guidance, but you seem very knowledgeable about this stuff. I have absolutely no reference to rely on. Thanks for taking the time.
I had a company last year do a seismic survey on my land and they are asking for another test. They indicate that I have to share the monies with the state of Texas. I don't remember having to share with the state last year. Is this true that they have to share with the state for a seismic test?
Would appreciate any information on this matter.
Thanks,
Louise
Louise,
We had a seismic survey on our property last fall. Since we are Public School Land and the State of Texas owns the minerals we had to share 1/2 of the money with The State of Texas.
Thanks Kenneth for the speedy reply. The gentleman that I spoke with said that the State has started the new sharing agreement with the Seismic companies. The money is fair and I am not against sharing with the State, as they are nice enough to share the oil and gas with us. I do thank you for the information. I appreciate the help...

Glenda....negotiate a separate right of way agreement with each company that wants to come across your property. Compensation is based on the size of the pipelines and the distance they use to cross your property. You can make the contract a perpetual one where you get a one time payment, or with term limits...like 5 or 10 years for a set fee payable at the beginning of the contract and renewable at the end of the contract term.

Mr Lawrence~That seems quite clear, so I will pass this on down the line. (I will heretofore refer to you as Mr. Lawrence as dictated by my Delta upbringing.)
TennisDaze,
COG may have sold part of their acreage to Luxe but have not seen an assignment yet.
For people in the general area of Block 13, Sec. 185...fyi, a man saying he is working for Black Stone called and offered to buy our lease in the above section. We have a 1/4 interest in acreage there and he offered what amounted to about $8500 a nma. We declined and it became apparent the offer would go up - but we simply didn't want to sell and negotiated no further. So we don't know how high the offer would have gone. We do have two wells spudded on part of the property.

COG sold Ward asset package to Luxe, rec doc 2018-737. Ward County has stopped using volume and page. COG sold Reeves asset package to Colgate, rec vol 1530, page 501.
Liz M,
Noble Permian just completed a well in the northwest corner of that
section and it is part of a cluster of wells they are drilling in that general area...They are horizontal gas wells with two to four wells going in different directions on the same pad. I don't know what they call that
particular well, but the quad well on the adjacent section to me on the northeast side is called the Jalapeno.
Additionally, across Hwy 17 from you in Block 13, section 153, Primexx
is drilling a horizontal gas well offset on that section to the Mercedes Cattle Company well #1 operated by Noble Permian.
So, they KNOW the gas is there. That means there will be MORE offers from companies that want to get a finger in the pie as well.
I'm pretty sure they are about to drill another horizontal well on the section I'm in because they just ran cameras in the existing water wells
here to see if they would support hard pumping of large volumes of water.
Thanks for that great info, Lawrence. We knew about all the nearby wells but had no idea our well had been completed. That's great to hear. We actually have two wells permitted there and they were spudded last year at different times. They're called Conger 185-184.
NBL filed a completion report on Bush 215 a few days ago. That's in the section to the SE of us. I think the Jalapeno wells are in the same area.

Does anybody know of any activity in this area?
thanks John
Hey John, good news...a permit(API 389-36812) was approved for a Wolfbone well to run through the East half of Section 21 on February 9, 2018.
