Nice pictures. There's also lots of activity around the Weldon area that's hard to see from the road if you fly that way. There is 2 rigs in that area now.

Thanks. Did they buy out Navidad? It's a new company, no wells under that name (SEM Operating) anywhere in the state until last fall & then only in H. Co. I'm wondering if they are contract operator for someone else... just a thought. No wells at all under Sequitur Energy.

SEM is part of Sequitur

I'm aware. Searched all possible names for permits. SEM is short for Sequitur Energy Management which is a brand new company, registered with SOS last May, and not much info available so I looked up their President.

Yes, they bought Navidad assets. Not a contract operator

Yeah I believe they bought Navidad out sometime last year. Seems like they plan on getting busy, bringing in another rig to the area. They have 4 new well permits already after the Hanson. Scan Glory is also drilling for them.

Two more horizontal wells filed today for SEM in Houston Co.

I guess these drilling rigs don't need mud pits like they used to. In the 80's when the Ala. Ferry Field was starting up in Leon Co they had us dig big mud pits for these drilling rigs,

Look at my SNOOPY shots. The mud pit is being excevation now before move in. This is where well bore 'tripping' liquids are collected. The drilling mud is continually monitored for specific density and adjusted to contribute to floating of the lighter drill debris/rock. The mud is last processed/blended in the trailered mud tanks, then pumped into the well bore to raise the rock, lube & cool the bit. The drill sites after completion look nice. Now nasty train-wreck sites left to live with.

Snoopy-

Thank you for taking the time and expense of obtaining these great photos.  I was wondering if you have you noticed any activity around Louis Cook #2, Revolver or Abbey Road lately.

(As you probably already know better than me, Louis Cook #2 is near the south end of the Houston County airport runway; Revolver is about 2 miles SE of the intersection of HWY 287 and FM 232 (off CR 4150) and Abbey Road is about 2 miles SE of Revolver.)

Devon (Louis Cook?) is producing. A pump jack (PJ) has been installed. However I suspect the PJ is only to lift water on the gas well. A pump jack does not necessarily mean it is lifting oil. I will get new aerials of Devon when I refuel at the Crockett Airport later this week.

Revolver is operating with a pump jack now. I suspect also just lifting water, not oil. Probably just enough gas/condensate product to be HELD BY PRODUCTION (HBP).

Abbey Road was completed but looks like an orphan with condensate tanks only - no PJ, probably enough gas/condensate to be HBP.

Penney Lane 1 mile NE of Pennington is just a prepared drill site pad - never a rig or any equipment installed. Only movement is armadillos & rabbits.  Snoopy
