KCM, the Wilcox formation in South Texas generally produces dry natural gas.

I just sent you and Les B messages as I am trying to determine how many acres of inherited minerals I have in that play before I put them up for sale. I am knowledgeable about researching minerals in LA, but I am lost when it comes to Texas

Which county in S. Texas is the property located in?    If you are lucky, your particular county of interest in Texas will have their land records recorded and available to search via their online website at that county's County Clerk Public Records web-page.

 

If you know the county that the land is located and the surnames of the parties that you are looking for, then you should be able to trace things backwards in time via those County Clerk records to find what property you might still have interest in.    

 

Good news is that there is no prescription expiration time on minerals in the State of Texas so if your ancestors did own their minerals - and (big IF here) if they retained their minerals upon any transfer of ownership of the surface estate - then those minerals would likely still be in your family.

 

Hit me with a friend request if you need some help getting steered in the right direction.

I think this play might be a bit more to this play than has been let out...

MidStates has had some success on the West side of Dequincey but on the East side it hasn't been so good. All ElPaso did was run the price of doing biz up. Halcon has a couple of permits Northwest of Dequincey and across the Sabine river in Texas.

Swift has drilled 27 wells in the LA Wilcox with nary a dry hole. Not everybody can say that.

That is impressive. Where have they been drilling. I saw them in Vernon doing a couple of chalk wells and maybe in Allen.

Swift has concentrated on developing the South Bearhead Creek field. Now expanding into the Fields and Oretta fields. Halcon has at least one producer in the old Skinner Lakes field and looking for more acreage  north towards Merryville. Midstates has hit the Wilcox good over in west Allen Parish in the area of Pilgrim Church, and in the Bear Field northwest of Ragley  and in a field due west of Ragley.. I suspect this fairway may take in some of northern Calcasieu Parish, but that is unconfirmed on my part. There does not appear to be any end to the Wilcox play for the immediate future if prices don't tank.This is high grade light oil selling at a premium to refineries in the Nederland-Pt. Arthur petro complex and used to enrich the low grade crude from Venezuela and elsewhere. That Keystone Pipeline comes online, they're going to need plenty of Louisiana and Southeast Texas light grade crude to clean up that Canadian slop. Didn't mean to run on so much. Have a good weekend, all.
