The Grice well should be about 4 miles east of Vines store on Lower Centreville road. The Nall well should be about 3 miles from Vines but that one may be off the road to the south a little ways. The Grice wells may be close to the hyw.

and if / when I FIND these wells, what exactly would you want me to do?

I just wanted to see if anything was going on yet.

Curiousity.

I'm doubting anything is going on.

These are EnCana wells.

EnCana doesn't have a rig in the area and have said they are working on a corporate plan, which may or may not include the TMS. 

The expectation is EnCana will announce something between now and their 3rd quarter report, then either accelerate drilling in January or abandon the TMS.

They already have four wells ready to drill...and have had them ready to drill for months...so...I would hold off on a special trip for at least a couple of months.

Personally, I think they WILL start drilling in earnest after the first of the year, BUT I'm not sure if EnCana has made up their mind what they're going to do.

They are watching the production on existing wells and watching Goodrich's new well results and just mulling things right now.

We shall see.

Encana has decided not to drill another TMS well until at least the 1st of next year and that will probably be the new Horseshoe Hill wells, if it happens. They have however recently renewed some leases in W. Fel. that I know of.

Goodrich plans to spud the Ventress well in early Oct., after the Huff is drilled. As always this is subject to change.

The Foster Creek frack job (Halliburton) started this past weekend and should take another week and a half if all goes well.

Why would they get the permits this year if they have no intention of drilling til next year?

Permalink Reply by Steve on September 4, 2013 at 4:52

Encana is hard to understand. They have drilling sites prepared that are over  1.5 years old and numerous units that are over +1 year old. I once saw them headed to a drill site with a rig caravan then call the rig truck driver mid route and send him another direction completely. Permits are frequently allowed to expire and then re-permitted. Why?  I think it is called being dysfunctional. IMO. I was told they were not drilling the TMS again this year but that doesn't necessarily mean they will not change their mind again. I think individual parts of the Company just do their thing, like applying for permits, so they will always be ready when management changes its mind again.

Drilling schedules are constantly being updated for numerous reasons:  newly generated science from other wells, lease term expirations, drilling commitments, rigs running over the days projected to TD, changes in priority from the home office, etc. and etc.  Happens all the time (see Southwestern Enegy in the Brown Dense discussions).  Yes it is hard to understand for everyone that isn't privy to inside company information.  And disappointing for those with a vested interest in that built but undrilled surface location or expired permit.  It can certainly appear dysfunctional but it's quite common.

Thanks Skip and Steve, that clears some of my confusion up. I know some of the leases are going to be expired in just a little over a year. I'm sure they don't want to pay to extend it another two years.

They are going to have to pay to extend leases, if not that one then this one.  Too much acreage too little time.  So one of many considerations when deciding where to drill will be the cost/possibility of extending the lease.

In regard to EnCana, in many large corporations there are real serious fights for capital/resources that decide peoples careers and these won & lost battles can look dysfunctional to outsiders.

True.  Un-drilled pads and permits come and go.  Like you can't judge a book by its cover, you also can't judge a future drill pattern by such peanut/low-dollar investments.

Saw the same happen with the HA in N. La.  And those pads are still vacant, too, with the permits having expired in many locations.

As for ECA in EF/WF, there are leases which were taken out later in the grab of large acreage, which won't run out for several years, once the option money is paid.

No rush.
