Hi Terry Allen,
If you live in Shadow Ridge and purchased from Purple Plum (the Waggoner's corp.) you do not own minerals.
I looked up the Deed from Sligo Enterprises to Purple Plum Propertys recorded 10-13-2004, in the Deed Sligo Enterprises (Bamburg) reserved the minerals.
I can't provide more information without description of the property.
You can e-mail me if you don't want to disclose personal info here.
Parker, thanks for the information. I heard that well that dried up was capped off 12 years ago for lack of production.
We did not purchase our land from Purple Plum Propertys. We bought our lot from another individual. He purchased these lots back in 1997.
From what I gathered from my neighbors, we do own our mineral rights. I also have a landman that's a friend of mine that's checking into it. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
If anyone is living in 27-17-12, the last well was capped and abandoned in 1983. So no production since then.
Skannal did reserve all mineral rights when he sold Sections 26 and 27 to Dennis Bamburg, but again there has been no production in either section for at least 12 years. Just a FYI.
I am one of the individuals within the Orchard and would be interested to find out where the 175 acres are you speak of. Given our close proximity we should consider all options to include joining forces. We are also up to 15k from EnCana (no plan to accept this), and I just learned through research that they are now being backed by Shell, which may mean a little "deeper pockets". EnCana wants our area under lease as they are looking to drill within the next few months (word of mouth) given the results of the recent Elm Grove rig.
Hi SoBoRes, the person you need to contact is John Provost, he lives off of Caplis-Sligo. Most of the 175 acres is off of Caplis (Shadow Ridge, Bobbie Lane, etc...). His number is 208-4164. He is working with three oil companies to get the best deal. Kinda like playing one off the other.
