Hey guys,
We have mineral rights in McKenzie County ND and I was looking online at the well search and it said that there is not well on the surface but that there is a horizontal leg entering from another well. Do you guys know if we could benefit from that? We are section 9 township 150 and range 98 if that helps you know more. Thanks for the input, we don't know much about this stuff.
Harmony:
Looking at the GIS map, there appears to be horizontal leg crossing your acreage but no well depicted. My guess is the well indicated is the Denbury Onshore,LLC (Rolfson 21-16SEH) (File #19594); the other Denbury Onshore, LLC well (Rolfson 21-16NEH) (File #19593) is not indicated on the map, or at least I don't see it. Looking at the well description of 21-16NEH, this might be the horizontal leg crossing your area. You might want to contact the NDIC mapping dept. in order to clarify if a mistake exits on the map. You should have been presented division orders if your in this unit.
Thanks Charles, I was kind of hoping, doubtful, but hoping.
Harmony:
As I earlier stated, contact the NDIC and verify the accuracy of the map.

Harmony, Charles, if you click on the Gis server map it will drill in [increase magnification] so two wells so close together won't appear as a single dot anymore. The wells name is Rolfson 11-16NEH (file number 19593 as Charles says). I would contact Denbury and tell them you have not received a division order. If they do not pay you soon and your title is good they may owe you interest. I hope you have a deed in your name [ probates, if any, done ] and that your title is clear so there is no delay in your royalty payments. The IP test date was 10-17-2011 and produced 1849 bbl. 67,687 barrels as of march which is the last month I have data for. Maybe not a monster but a good solid well. Congratulations Harmony, you have a well.
Sounds great, I sure hope you're right! Thanks for the reply, I am pretty confused about most of this stuff I'll get right on sending to Denbury.

In this you can trust that I am right. If I am wrong then I'd feel NDIC Oil and Gas Division owes me a refund. I am under 11 wells myself and yours is no harder to look up than any of mine. It's a good well, I hope you have alot of acres under it.
Harmony, I know this sounds confusing but your well was drilled in section 16 and the wellbore goes north to drain sections 9 and 4, this is called offsite drilling. There is another well that is sharing the same pad as your wellhead that goes south this is called ECO pad or multipad drilling and it saves the operator alot of money, 1 road 1 pipeline 1 larger pad but it's smaller than two seperate pads and only one landowner to deal with (hopefully). There are two wells above my minerals that drain the spacing to the north of my minerals drilled from the same pad as two of my wells, so I feel on firm ground when I speak about this.
Sounds great, we have 60 acres, it's not a ton, but it's something. I emailed Densbury through their mineral rights email and I hope they get back to me soon. Thanks for your input on this, it makes sense that it could save them dough to not have so many wells and just utilize what they do have.
