I've been meaning to join or start a Toole County group. Thanks for getting it started. Kirk, I am wondering the same thing. I thought there was some seismic testing going on just south of Sunburst a year ago, but didn't confirm it.

Jamie - we had a positive experience leasing with Quicksilver out of Houston TX

I’ve done evaluations for another family mineral estate in Toole in the past year. Send me some legals and I will try to help you with some current info.

Gary,

you wouldn’t happen to know anything about Section 17-Township 31N-Range 2W in Toole would you? I have a small interest in a current well. It generates about $10 a year, yes, a year. Obviously I don’t want to deal with the cost of probating unless there is much more potential to the property.

Robert, Keeson is operating wells in both sections and posted production as late as 8/2013 maybe more since then. Wolfe wells in 17 and another in 8 with a different designation. Check with the State on most up to date status but you should be in the wells.

Google the Montana Oil and Gas Commission and pick the best category for what you want to know.

Also, Zodiac has said they have completed a 3D on the property. Would this tell them where oil and gas pockets are? Thanks again.

Zodiac hopes so but only drilling will tell for certain. Watch for new leases by Zodiac or its land broker.

How can we find out if Zodiac picks up new leases? Also, how to find out who their land broker is? Last question, are they looking in Toole County? Thanks Gary for any info you may have.

Does anyone know who bought out Quicksilvers Oil & Gas Leases? It looks like Anadarko is planning to drill.

I have been sent a lease offer that appears very low and for too long of a duration. Can anyone tell me what I should expect for a good offer? The property is Township 35 N, Range 4 W, Section 9: NE, E2, NW, N2SE, Section 10: E2 (640 Acres)

Offer: $15/acre for a 5 year lease with an option for a 2 year extension at $10/acre. Royalty 15%.

Hi All! I recently inherited some family mineral rights. I’ve got a lot to learn, and I’m looking forward to it! Anyone out there having any activity around: Townships 36 Range 2 West or Township 37 Ranges 2 & 3 West?
