Dave,

We are located about 3 miles north on 59 from the 7 permitted wells and about 1/2 mile east of 59.  The family has owned this property for about 45 yrs.  There was some seismic work done in 1983 and the geologist told my dad there was deep gas/oil shows but was too deep to drill at that time. We are not currently leased.  There are many shallow oil wells to the east of our land but they are many years of age and by now most are plugged.

It looks like we have the beginnings of an effort to develop the "deep gas/oil" that the geologist told your dad about.  Keahey and Norbord (the Pegasi well) are both showing gas.  If a deep well in the 7 permits area shows something, that would be another step in your direction.  The landman I dealt with was Greg White with RWT Land Services.  You might want to contact him to see if they plan any leasing activity in your area.  greg@rwtlandservices.com

Thanks Dave,

Dave, We talked some time ago and I would like to get an update from you since we seem to have mineral rights on the same property. I would like to confirm that fact. Would you contact me at victoriaridge@gmail.com, please.

Victoria,  I sent a long message to your email address shortly after your request on June 2 below.  Did you not get it?

I did read it. Must have overlooked it when it first came in. I will call, but have been involved with health issues with my father. Thank you.

STM doesn't have any production in Texas over the searchable period from 1993 to 2011.  I think its an amateur operation.  No sense in filing all the permits at once, and you've tipped your hand to your target drilling locations if you fail to drill the wells.

Other posts have indicated that STM is owned by David McAlpine, an OBGYN in Ft Worth.  Our family owns minerals in the area covered by these permits and we have been in negotiations with David and his son, Craig, to sell or lease our minerals to them.  During those negotiations, they have indicated to us that they own about 2000 surface acres on both sides of 59 north of Jefferson.  They have also expressed serious concern about the safety and and environmental hazards of the drilling process.

Those are the facts.  Here is an opinion:  This is a power play designed to disrupt the process of developing minerals in this area.  STM has no intention to drill these permits.  They are merely attempting to roadblock the efforts of others.  Based on what I have been told by the McAlpines and the wildcat producer, Bachtell Oil and Gas, trying to lease this area, STM does not own or lease enough of the minerals to form drilling units.  How could they get permits if that were the case?
