Our lease is up in October. Citizen went to court to get an emergency drilling order to begin before Oct. but was denied by OCC. They called us and asked if we top leased which we didn’t, but didn’t offer to release. We have got an offer for 1/8 at $4500, 3/6 at $4,000, 1/5 at $3000 and .22 for no bonus. Has anyone else leased in Section 6 Township 9N Range 7W? The company (Jones) that offered the lease asked we send a letter stating we want them to be the driller even if we don’t lease with them.
I’m assuming there is a battle over who is drilling. Does anyone know what this area has leased for recently? Jones has a rig set to drill in 7 Township 9N Range 7W (Ring Neck 7-6-9-7 1HX well). Citizen wants to drill in Section 6 so I guess the conflict lies there, please explain.
