Reeves County, TX - Oil & Gas Discussion archives

does anyone know where I could find the county roads north of Pecos? Thanks,

Louise

google maps will show you all the roads.

For a more formal approach updated county maps are available on the Texas Department of Transportation web site. To purchase maps, call the Texas Department of Transportation at 512-486-5014

Buzz Van Meter (or anyone else),

You seem to be more “up” on the goings on in the Pecos area, so I thought I’d see what you might know about any permit/drilling activity or lease rates in the vicinity of Sec 40 Blk 59. My family has 100% mineral and surface interest in 400 contiguous acres in that block under lease for about 1 1/2 more years. Thanks.

Thanks, J Matthews for the info, it is appreciated. Louise

Ann – Two amended vertical permits were issued in Aug 2011 for COG’s IKE STATE 25 #1 and #2, Abstract #5954, 9.0 miles SSE of Pecos. The RRC site shows a vertical completion report ‘Drilling Completed’ date of 9-13-11 on the #1 well, the Well Status Code being designated “Z – Unperfed completion’. ‘Unperfed’ is short for ‘unperforated’ which means that production casing has been set but the well has not been finally completed. In this condition the operator has (obviously) put the well on hold –- while evaluating other information –- and planning on coming back and perforating the casing and fracing the well before placing it on production.

Re: the #2 well, a review of RigData weekly drilling reports back to w/e 2-24-12 (when my subscription started) does not show that the #2 well was being drilled since then. That leaves a gap of 5 months after the permit was issued. Later – Buzz

berrytc – I think I have you spotted 11.4 miles NW of Toyah, Abstract 1562. If so, sorry to report that’s one area of the county where there has been very little activity for over a year now. Petrohawk does have 7 permitted locations circling 3-8 miles around Toyah dating back over a year now. Later – Buzz

Buzz,

Thanks for the info.

Buzz, THANK YOU! Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the information. I am in the adjoining Section 26 and was both concerned about drainage and wanting to know why the well wasn’t producing. I’m under lease with Clayton Wms.

Thanks again - I don’t know what we’d do without ya!

oops,

maps of county roads. Louise

Ann – you don’t need to be nearly as concerned about drainage from shale or tight sands wells as you would be with so-called ‘conventional wells’. Later – Buzz

Makes sense, Buzz…I hadn’t thought that one out.

More infrastructure in Reeves County.

Lori – I’m familiar with the well – COTTONMOUTH 58-47 #1 – a horizontal well completed a year ago involved in a joint venture between Energen Resources, who drilled the well and Petrohawk who completed the well and is now the operator. Usually when they say ‘waiting on a pipeline’, that mean a natural gas line. Without seeing the lease, it’s hard to advise you, but there’s probably a ‘shut-in’ gas well clause where they could pay $x to extend the lease, say for a year. Don’t get me wrong… most recent well completions in Reeves produce a combination of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Keep asking questions of Petrohawk and keep us informed of the progress. (good post) Later – Buzz

Buzz—first time poster—what happens to a “shut-in” well when the lease runs out? Our lease with Petrohawk/BHP will be up in June.

6.1 miles NW of Toyah

A-1530, BLK 58, Sec 47

been told waiting on pipeline??

Lori, Look at the shut in royalty clause in your lease.

My wife’s family has the mineral rights to the east 365 acres Section 14 Block C-18. The current lease expires in October and has no option for extending. Any ideas on current lease rates and contract lengths?

Rosetta, who bought Comstock’s position in our area, is upping its drilling program

I have a lease expiring in Sept on 54 net min acres (abstract #1054) about 20 miles NW of Pecos. Have been offered $1250 per nma for 3 years w/ 25% royalty. Anyone know of any offers in this area. There is a producing horizontal well in the next section, by Anadarka and they are the ones offering to re-lease my acres. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Craig – from what others have said about Anadarko’s inactivity in northern Reeves, I’m a little surprised they are interested. The last permit they received in Reeves was in June 2011. It’s good that they are still interested, but for a song?

See my April 5 post below showing the results of a recent GLO sealed bid sale where a part section 8 miles WSW of you fetched over $2K/per year with 2 parties interested in bidding, one being Cimarex who is currently drilling a horizontal well in Section 34 (A-369), 4.4 miles west (slightly NW) of your part-Section 31. Later – Buzz

Imoorhead – In January, Petrohawk put two horizontal wells on production less than a mile to your NW in H&GN, BLK 4, SEC 33 (A-397). Activity that close should bode well, one would hope. Whose the current Leasee? Later – Buzz
