Can anyone tell me if this has a well in this range and if the drilling in this area is coming to this zone N/2NE/2NE/4SE/NE Thanks
Moved your post over to Eddy County, NM.
Thank you I appricate it. Iām new to this
Valerie,
Chevron drilled 3 Wolfcamp wells in the E/2 of Sec 15 and 22. All spud in Aug 2019. See below.
Assuming I am reading your legal description correctly, you own something in the N/2 of the NE/4 of the SE/4 of the NE/4 (5 acres)? And should have ownership in all 3 of those wells. You figure they would start producing 1Q2020.
The above map is just horizontal wells, there is also an old Marathon vertical well in the SE/4 of the NE/4 (API 3001526471) that has been producing since 1990. Witt #1.
Thank you so much. When i searched it I couldnāt tell which one because I didnāt understand the letters before the sec,T and range. I donāt know what ours is. Hope you understand what I and saying lol. Hard for me to describe what Iām talking about. I have learned so much about this in about 2 weeks and I love this forum.
I donāt know for sure that the 3 wells are going to reach us. Looking at the map it looks.like it misses us. We live between 31 and yarbro on Donaldson. Now.i donāt know how it all works so could you explain it to me. Because those are correct N/2NE/4SE/NE4 Appricate the help
All of the mineral rights in the E/2 of Secs 15 and 22 (640 total acres) should be āpooledā (i.e. put into a common pot) for those wells. So the wells donāt have to go through your specific tract. In theory they will be ādrainingā all of the E/2 of both of those sections, so ownership in those wells would be determined by the fraction of the total acres that you own. If you have, say, 5 mineral acres in that 640 acres, leased at say 20% royalty you would receive this portion of the revenues in those 3 wells:
5/640 * .2 = .0015625. As an example. Make sense?
Note also that those well lines are straight lines from the surface point to the planned end point, the actual trajectory that was be drilled will bend to cover more of the acreage. That info just isnāt public information yet as the wells were just drilled.
Have you leased these minerals?
No we havenāt heard anything from them about leasing. I have 25% and then my dad had 25 present next to me. I am his personal representative I had put the wrong directions down so didnāt know if that was the problem. But I understand now what you was talking about. I appricate your help.
I put the wrong directions This is the right ones. N/2NE/4SE/4NE/4 Thanks
Also I have 2 acres 25% and my dad has 3. There is 5 heirs so each one will get 5 percent of his 25% This so so confusing. But Iām learning. With all the research Iāve done this forum has been the most help!!
I know that isnāt many minerals or land but for us not know we even had them we are pretty excited lol
Well, if you are not leased you probably want to call Chevron and tell them you own in E/2 of Section 15. You donāt really want to get force pooled (included in the unit as an unleased party) but that may have already happened. Call Chevron land department for Delaware Basin. Ask if they show you as owning in those wells. If so, ask them to make you a lease offer. That is what I would do.
Those wells are the CB NE 15 22 wells.
I got in touch with them and they said it might take 30 to 45 days.
I knew something was up when I got that call from the Landman.
Just wish it would have been chevrons Landman.
Thanks for the help and I will let you know what I find out.
This area has been āforce pooledā by Chevron. You can go to NMOCD website and look up Case # 20332.
List of parties pooled is on page 7 and 8 of this document. Maybe see if one of them is you.
If your family has held these minerals since before the 1980s, then your Father should have been receiving royalties from the Yarbro Gas Well from the 1980s on through 1999. Then from the WITT oil well from 1990 on to the present.
You really should be communicating with Marathon also since they are the operator of the WITT well. They should have been paying you since 2017 and before that was Black Mountain Operating.
Good luck tracking it all down.

Thank you that information is awesome. Our name wasnāt on there unfortunately and chevron is giving me a run around. But I wonāt stop.
Iāve got a call into them but so far havenāt heard anything back. This forum is wonderful and I appricate everyoneās help. Thanks
NMoilboy Our name was not on it. So what does that mean. Do we have so little % minerals they donāt have to contact us?
Chevron told me they wasnāt sure if we had any interest in those wells because they donāt have a API number and they wasnāt showing up. That they havenāt been drilled yet so they couldnāt tell without the API number. I think they are giving me the run around.
Weāre having trouble with Chevron in this section also. We inherited leasehold working interest in sec 15 23s 28e Eddy county. We received afeās for the E half, but none for the W half. The interest in the W half is small, but their āagentā said that we didnāt have working interest. That seems completely illogical because we still have, and are being billed, for an active well in the W half. The JOA for that well is for the 320 acres of the W half & includes the Wolfcamp zone (which is the zone to be drilled). We were provided with afeās for the 2 Heritage wells in the W half (in 2012 I think) & chose to not participate. Nonparticipation does not sever mineral rights. I have not been able to get a reason for what happened to our working interest rights after requesting the reason via email and certified letter. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
