Section 28 16N 13W. We leased with JW Operating Co. They drilled a well. Kinsey 28 #1 serial 241129. It started producing in Jan 2011. Its on a 20/60 choke. I guess due to the cheap gas prices, but the problem is getting paid for the owners 25%. We got a couple checks, then we started getting the JW runaround. They had to do more title searches or some crap like that. They had over 2 years to get this right. During this time all checks were stopped BUT the gas kelp flowing and I assumed that they were getting paid but March, April, May, June, July passed without a check. Then we got a little check for June and a promise Now that the rest would soon follow, but then we get another letter to start the JW runaround crap again. Checks will stop until these papers are returned. This is the forth time in 2011 they sent these DIVISION ORDER papers. They are buying time for some reason. Maybe JW is going broke, seems like it to me. If I had it to do over again, it would be a cold day in Hell before I would lease anything to JW OPERATING. So if anyone out there is considering JW, I would reconsider. On this section they are behind 4 months on royalty payments. I am about ready to report them to someone who may have the power to help.
Isn't J-W the one that drilled a couple of vertical HA wells in the Overton Brooks area, holding the entire units on a few MCF a month? Then I notice they drilled a horizontal on an adjacent unit. I would assume the owners in the vertical units are not as content as their neighbors in the horizontal unit?
Could be. Our well is down a little farther off of Norris Ferry south of Overton Brooks Area. According to the Sonris site, our well is on A 24/60 choke. I dont know what this means but I assume its production is cut back by about a third. This could be due to the low gas prices at the moment and I can understand that. Our well is a Horizontal well and production has been 3 to 4 million cubic feet daily average. Our problem is we just cant get paid properly.
fullogas,
Get an attorney... IMO, J-W has no boundries per se. Things are tight right now, and like the Banks, others are holding on to every nickel they can hold on to, for as long as they can hold on to it...especially if it is YOUR nickel.
Chk has been holding on to my "nickels" for a very long time now, even though they filed in Feb. 2011, that my well had reached payout...and "THEY/Chesapeake" wanted their Severance Tax Exemption granted. Of Course, this is Sept. 2011, and Chk still insists...my well has NOT reached payout. Six months later? Well still going strong? Chesapeake plays the same game, keeping "nickels" in Chk pockets just as loooooooooong as possible, because they CAN.
No one at the State level is watching out for royalty owners, IMO. Toooooo much $$$ for the State. However, I would bet the State is getting paid on a "regular" basis, without any problems... And, That Should Be the Same For Every Royalty Owner owed Royalties. Quid Pro Quo!
Of course, I want it to SNOW too. Fat chance of that. LOL
Again, IMO, get a lawyer to make your calls and send demand. Seems lawyers have a way with speaking the GAS MAN's language.
Hope for the best for you and your neighbors.

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
