Stephens County, OK - Oil & Gas Discussion archives

I know that this is sort of off subject, but I have been approached by an electrical transmission company about getting right of way across my land for windmill transmissions to a larger existing power line. Have any of you have any experience in dealing with this? Any recommendations?

I just read that a settlement has been reached With Chesapeake regarding under paid royalties. Does anyone know which counties were included in this settlement? The article mentions ā€œgasā€ wells, but I thought I read previously that oil royalty back pay was also in the suit.

James, Reference Transmssion Lines. Are you asking about electrical lines from each turbine generator to the Wind Farm Substation? If so, those electical ines for the Minco Wind Farm were all underground but they still paid for easement rights.

Thank you for the update David I haven’t received anything yet; but I’m working with someone from Marathon as to see where my division orders are. Those are nice new wells in 29 and 28!

My sister in law just got another offer to purchase two of her acres in Section 34 2n4w for $25,000 for the two acres AGAIN. She and my brother in law both got this same offer about a month ago but we didn’t receive it for ours there. Guess they gave up on us. lol :O)

K Dawn Bauer,

Here is additional information discussed in May and June.

These are nice producing wells.

We have a lease offer on Sec. 7.1N.4W Stephens. $1,000 an 1/5.

Does anyone have any idea if that’s a good offer?

Got mine too!

Hutch and everyone- I received the balance of the Poteet division orders today! # 2&3 came last week, # 4-10 arrived today! Seems like we’ve been waiting forever…it was worth the wait though! I wonder if the original Poteet will start producing again. That would be an added bonus.

Jennifer, I saw them picking up a load of oil on the 4th of July or the week before. That is based on seeing the truck leaving.

My family receives royalties, mostly from Chevron with production from the Velma Tussy Unit in Sections 23, 24 and 25 T1S R5W. Royalties have fallen to about one third of what they were last year. Does anyone know what is happening here? Is Chevron simply not taking the oil from the low-producing wells?

Rick- thanks… I’ve missed Poteet #1. I’ll be glad to see it again!

Thanks for responding, Rick. My Chevron statement is 40 pages long with many many entries being a penny or two.

It would be a very time-consuming job to compare volume numbers. I don’t think we are being cheated on the price of oil because the prices seem to be following the market.

It appears that some of the decrease is in the price of oil but it also seems that production is about half of what it was. This leads me to the conclusion that production or purchases are down. A few smaller royalty checks from other companies have disappeared altogether.

It also makes sense to me that the purchasing of oil can be simplified by not bothering to gather oil from the stripper wells for which our family has interest.

I don’t think you are accounting for the drop in price of oil. I grabbed a statement laying on the top of the pile and then looked up one from the same well about a year ago. In June last year they sold oil for $104.85. The last months check was $45.36. That means if it were the same volume in each of these two months, my current check would be 43.2% of what it was last year. The only way you can tell is production is down is by looking at the production numbers on your check stubs. But, you are getting pretty close to your 1/3 dollar figure based on oil price alone. If there is a decent amount of gas production, then the hit should not be as bad. This same well so gas drop from $3.63 to $2.27 resulting in 62.5% of the previous gas payment.

You’ll have to define ā€œsmaller checksā€ disappearing. If you are talking about checks under $100, you have likely agreed to not by paid until they total $100. So if it has dropped to 40% you might not get paid as often.

John,

Is your observations based on the Dollar number of your check or the number of barrels produced? And how many barrels are we talking about in the most recent month paid?

Anyone have production numbers on the new Poteet well’s first few months production they would care to post?

Thanks, Rick for taking the time to do the comparison.

Bob, it might be a bit lengthy to post all 9 here. Follow the link below, search by legal 17-2N/4W, they have production thru April. I’ll be able to tell you more after I get my first check in the next few days.

Just received a Division Order and with it came a request for info re names of people not located. Seems to me I saw a Folsom on here and if so they may be related. They are looking for Heirs of ā€œO. W. Folsom Jr.ā€ If anyone knows of these relatives let me know, just trying to help out.
