    Just wondering if anyone has heard anything new on this well. I see on Sonris that it is being tested. Last entry date was March, 2010. How long does it take to finish testing?
  • Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant

    R WEIR. Unless one of us is looking at a different well, SONRIS does not report this well perfed much less tested. It has reached Total Depth and had production casing set.
  • R WEIR

    I am looking at well #240326 (serial number). What happens next?
  • Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant

    The next entry should be Perf from x feet to x feet and then frac. The well has reached total depth and casing set. It will probably remain at this stage until CHK is ready for completion operations which will likely not happen until there is a pipeline in place.
  • Richard

    On the Sonis report well #240379 it says waiting for workover rig.
    The well has been fraced.
    What is the workover rig for at this point?
  • Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant

    Richard, I do not know.

    john BROWN,
    I think you've been unitized by Chesapeake. I don't see any permit for drilling yet.

    thanks I will keep checking

    With the price of natural gas as low as it is , have anyone received a decent royalty check recently and being that we have not received our first check yet will it for the first 3 months?

    does anyone know when they will drill sec 35-t14n-r16w bethany-longstreet
  • Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant

    Bill, your section is a Chesapeake HA unit. CHK acquired the deep rights from Vernon Faulconer, Inc. which operates two Pettit gas wells in the section, the last drilled in 1986 and still a good producer. As this production is holding your old lease in force it may be sometime before CHK decides to drill a HA well. Unless you would consider litigation, CHK will drill when they are ready. There's no way to know when that will be.
  • Bill johnson

    thanks for the information Skip. I guess that one probably will not be drilled for sometime. appreciate your help
  • Michele Etzkorn

    Recently, the operator of well completed a DT1 report. Production was about the same with less than 1/2 the water. As I understand it, the Conservation District or the DNR determines how much each well can produce during a given time. Why do they have the control? and How do they determine what the flow rate will be on a well? I've tried to get info about what a DR1 Report is and what information it provides, but SONRIS will not or has not let this information become available thru SONRIS. Anybody out there know who, why, or how gas production is determined per well?
  • Michele Etzkorn

    Oops "DT-1" report.

    Can anyone give me an update besides going to the Sonris site about the grantham wells being drilled in 030, 12t, 15w.  Also is there another web site that will explain all the abbreviations and numbers that is on the Sonris site?

    Thanks,

    Just received my check for April Production.  WOW about 50% lower than this time last year.  You would think with all that snow still falling up north that the demand for natural gas would be stronger.  Anyone have a comment?
  • Herndon

    Obama keeps the prices low. Nothing happening til we get him out of office!!!

     

  • Rozzy

    You better believe it... I want him out like yesterday... We better have BETTER candidates running against him or else expect another quiet, season for Haynesville Shale. :/
  • FXEF

    Caroline,
    It's not the price of natural gas that has reduced your check by 50%, it's the decline rate of gas produced from the well. April 2010 and 2011 were about the same, ~ $4.00 / mmBtu.
  • drilltheshale

    How in Sam Hill does Obama keep NG prices low?  He's been promoting alternative energy, esp. NG since he got in office.  If his energy proposals had passed, the real cost of coal would have to be accounted for and NG would be very competitive for power generation.  Silly.
  • FXEF

    Roy, my last check (May production) was $4.40 / Mcf.

    Chesapeake well northwest of Grand Cane has been "waiting for state potential" since Sept. No other HA wells in this unit, at least yet.

    Does anyone have any other info?

    I wonder how you people feel that the President keeps the gas prices low. It is the glut of gas we have on the market. SUPPLY AND DEMAND is causint this. The chemical plants are not using as much gas to make the thousands of by products because the over sea markets have cut back. Wake up and smell the roses and learn about the problem before making stupid remarks in here.

    Has any of you royalty owners been sent letters by a company named  Mineral Acquisition Company, the letter was signed by a Thomas Aten. He is a land lease man doing business for Chesapeake, just be careful.

  • DrWAVeSport Cd1

    LGS...

    For the past 6 months CHK has been sending "Offer To Acquire Additional Interest in Chesapeake Properties" letters in with their revenue checks.   CHK "offer" printed on pink, red and purple paper.  Maybe CHK believes I will "favor" one of their "offers" over another based on my favorite color.  LOL

    Why CHK wants to "buy" my mineral interests?   I suggest it is because CHK's "Offer To Acquire" is 1/2 of their lifetime value... Maybe even 1/3.

    I have not received one from "Mineral Acquisition Company" yet.  However I did receive an "offer to buy" this Summer from a large Corporation and their offer wasn't "bad," just lower than I would sell.

    Does Mr. Aten give a $$$ figure/mineral/royalty acre? 

    Thanks for the fyi...

     

  • Larry G Smith P.E.

    How many of you check the SONRIS production site? Twice CHK has paid us less MCF than was/is listed on the SONRIS TABLE OF PRODUCTION, I have checked with SONRIS and asked them how accurate the listed production was on the List.  They told me that what ever the production company turns in is the amount listed and the company has several months to correct the amount if it is not correct.  Our last royalty check was short a little over 8000 MCF, I called, got NO reply, have sent 2 emails and have not heard back from CHK. I will continue until they do answer me or someone else.

    Does anyone have info. on EDDY 23-11-11 H.  Serial #242981 in DeSoto Parish?  A family member has some an interest in this well and was not notified of completion cost or anything else, and believes that CHK deliberately made the cost low so as to regain some position.  His interest is 65 acres. There was a dry hole drilled in the 1970's.  He has not received any royalty and wants to know if this well is worth filing a lawsuit to recover. I think the royalty obligation from CHK is 1/8th...I am not sure of that %.  Are not they obligated to contact owners with smaller working interest's? 

  • Larry G Smith P.E.

    Your well was drilled and is produced by CHK, from Sonris posting not a bad well;

    Sorry but the post did not copy right, But go to SONRIS, click on the Well Number when the box opens, add your number, 242981, it will then take you to the well information. Scroll down to production. There you will find the month by month production that CHK turned into the DNR and it is then posted on SONRIS.  You need to get a copy of the Lease, go to the DeSota parish court house, have the name of the owner, the parish, etc and tell them you need a copy of the signed lease. The well is owned by CHK.

    Thank you Larry.

  • Henry

    Mary Alison,

    Note-- the surface location is in 14-11-11, so look in that section on sonris to find your well.  As Larry said, it is not a bad well at all.  It appears CHK has choked it back some, but so we cannot tell what it would flow at otherwise.  However, the well in 22-11-11 is producing very well - it's up to almost 5 Bcfe to date - so maybe this one will produce similarly over time.  If your family member is unleased, he/she will have to wait a while to reach payout -- this well has produced only about 2.5 Bcfe of gas so far.  You'll have to reach at least 4 Bcfe of production for your well to reach payout (very rough estimate).
