Thanks, jffree,

LOL, you're welcome but we both may forget about the bonus before October... so any time that suits you will do fine.

ALL,

  I am hearing that XTO has started building a pad out near Pennington/Fodice but I have NOT seen it yet

  Also discovering that the same people working for Western Chief in Houston Co. are also involved in a company called Ranger Investments out of Longview Tx.  ----- nothing illegal here --- just interesting as those connections are also becoming involved in happenings in Houston Co. on an individual level.

I heard they were building a road to the XTO site.  Don't know about the pad.  road is supposed to be very long

XTO has 300+ acres leased from us about 2-3 miles due south of Fodice (just inside of the Trinity County line) but I have not heard or seen anything.  Lease is due to expire in 12 months.

Vernon,

 Check Houston co. TRRC W1 ----- XTO permitted a well a few months back in your neighbor hood and then  amended it a week or so ago ----- click on the Tx flag and a map should open or open the plat and get the lat. long. info and type in google map. Sounds like this one may be near you.

Thanks for the tip.  I did just as you instructed.  That puts it due north of us by nearly 4 miles.  We are in the J. S. Ward Survey.  Plenty far enough not to effect us at this time.  I am hoping they will let the lease expire so we can re-negotiate the terms that were agreed upon by the previous owners.  But then there is something to say about the worth of "a bird in the hand".  :-)

Vernon,

  Work on XTO road/pad appear to be hopelessly mired in MUD ----- it looks like they plan on crossing Whiterock Creek and bottom land to get to that pad ----- This will be one of those things that you throw warm sunshine at   NOT $  ----- Hope I am wrong about this but if I am not, the drilling crew should be prepared to be MAROONED if it floods.

 NOTE --- DBOB has posted a good map in a new discussion (here on district 3) that is worth taking a look at as it gives a peak at what is to come as the play moves east also shows a little insight how our leases are blocked up and marketed.

I hear XTO may be drilling for Smackover. Just an industry rumor.

  That's on the China side of the middle of the earth down here isn't it ?  lol   --- Is this the same formation they call Brown Dense up North Boscoe ? ---- Guess it will take the largest Land Rig they can find.
