Thanks for the info.
Attached are PDF of first lease & lease ratification below, but these refer to several other documents of mineral assignment & release; and royalties. The clerks were very pleasant and helpful, so it's likely that one could call and get balance by email. I'll get back to this later (legal opinion), so please post anything relative, if you don't mind.
This week's scout report:
07/07/2014 Depth:17351; DRL&SLIDE T/17531'; WELL STARTED FLOWING; C&C
DavidsonBuckle#2 well (holds February 1971 lease) also had zero production for several months in 2012, but the most recent work permit report stating "unsuccessful re-completion" seems to be what nails it down? The re-perforations likely explains the drilling rig still sitting there (unsuccessful re-completion)? Just curious of what Hilcorp will make of this now, regarding DSCC#1 well leases & division orders? What should we expect (typical)? Anticipation ;)
The Davidson Buckle #2 is a unit well for 16700 TUSC RA SUF Zone. The DSCC #1 is a lease well permitted to the TUSC B Zone. Different locations, different zones, same operating company.

The leases unitized under 16700 TUSC RA SUF likely expired with 4 consecutive months with no production in 2012. However it is highly probable no lessor pooled in the unit demanded a release. That's largely a moot point since production was commenced 5 months later. So now production ceases and there is another legal opportunity to have minerals released, if anyone is paying attention and understands what is at stake. Caveat: the language in the lease may address what "operations" may hold the lease in force sans production. It is the responsibility of a mineral owner to understand the terms of their lease, to monitor the well or wells producing under that lease and to seek professional counsel if they are willing to be proactive. This has no connection whatsoever with the DSCC #1 which is on lands not covered in the SUF unit. Compare the plats.
The units you list are not a single lease. Each unit is made up of only the lands within it's boundary. Production in one can not hold leases in others excepting certain situations that are not relevant to this discussion. Hilcorp is not claiming that SUA thru SUI are held by production in SUH. You are misunderstanding or they are telling you something that is not correct. You are clueless as to compulsory unitization and need the services of an experienced O&G attorney. Waiting would be a mistake.
When you say, "more than one plat" do you mean, more than one unit? Yes, if it is an old lease for a contiguous tract without a horizontal Pugh clause then production in one unit could hold the lease in force for a non-producing portion of the tract in an adjoining unit. There is no law, nor is there any business reason for Hilcorp or any other operating company to terminate a lease without a demand from a lessor. The responsibility lies solely with the mineral lessor.

Landman here, and will say via private message to you, once I have verified your ownership interest in this well, as I have for other owners / members of this forum. I am not authorized to comment on specific lease and well questions on a public forum in my current capacity - however, some conclusions that you have made re: HBP and lease maintenance are incorrect.
Do you happen to own Lot 104?
Hi Dion, and thanks for your input. I was hoping that you might join in. A drilling rig recently appeared on the old DavidsonBuckle2 site, which had me searching for answers on the DNR site. Looks like production ceased on multiple occasions. Do you read that this lease can be held by operations?

Can someone please interpret the latest available statuses for DSCC#1 production & DavidsonBuckle#2 recompletion? Looks like maybe both went sour (or difficult)? Any other info available? Thanks in advance.
Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…

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 |
