  • James C. Fults

    Have you guys heard anything on the fracking delays with Shlumburge? I am trying to get the scoop on the Betty Fults 1H well. Well is completed but not fracked. Any news will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Jim
  • jffree1

    Someone should check the Samford 1H. It shows to have a rig moving on and a spud date of 8-2-10.
  • adubu

    James C. Fults--- I hear there is waiting list for frac crews and they are running 4-5 weeks behind normal schedule om frac jobs
  • James C. Fults

    Thanks, Adubu. Schlumberger is fracking the Holt well on Thursday, 8/5, and then moving on to the Fults 1H well (H&P Rig 389) afterwards.
  • adubu

    James C. Fults---did they frac the Holt well? but now delayed your well? Have they ever brought in any blue frac tanks?

  • Dennis

    anybody know about anything happening in Hurstown. No replies yet to my post about the George Neil Survey. XTO says they're about to drill 2 wells very soon.
  • DeeDee

    My mom was one of many heirs to 135 acres in San Augustine,TX and 93 acres in Shelby County,TX. Other family members received bonus Payment Vouchers and Paid Up Oil and Gas Lease from Cabot in July for the San Augustine interest. My 2 siblings and I have never been contacted about the San Augustine minerals. Paloma Resources recently sent us a Payment Voucher for $150 each and a lease document for 3 yrs. @ 25% royalty in October. What should we do?
  • GoRicky

    Do you guys know how much (percentage or fraction) you own? I've seen where it's decided to pay a set fee to mineral owners inducing them to lease. In the old days, $50 - $100 was decided, which were ridiculous and in the range of $500 / net acre (before the boom). I've also seen a company man decide to pay a flat "$100, regardless of how much each Lessor owns". The more interest a person owns, the worse the deal is, the less a person owns, the better deal it is. I still haven't figured Paloma out... they buy leases within the "big company" maps that can be found on the internet - - however, I don't remember seeing them permit / drill a well. If you know how much interest you own (or how much Paloma or Cabot says you own), I might be able to get more $$$ to you.
  • jffree1

    There is no activity in A-725 right now.

  • Vivien Smith

    what's the latest on the Wilburn survey

     

  • Bill R

    Ick! ....

    Devon brought in the King GU 1H that potentialed 2,000 cubic feet of gas??? That's per the Tyler Paper drilling report posted on Sunday, January 30th ... they had a period in their copy, but I assumed it to be a decimal.

    Either way, I think I can get that much natural gas from a can of beans washed down with a couple of cans of beer! Dang, this getting rich on O&G in modern days just isn't the same thing that Jed Clampett did, is it?

  • jffree1

    Where you been, intrepid?  I posted all of the XTO wells last month:-).

    ETDR needs to tighten up.

  • adubu

    jffree1----are all the XTO wells IP completions  Haynesville or some Bossier Shale?
  • jffree1

    adubu, I haven't sifted through the reports to try to determine which are Bossier completions and XTO never tells. 
  • Carl L Ward

    So is Devon still leasing?  They did not exercise the option on my land SE of Tenaha near Old Home community.
  • jffree1

    Carl, I am hearing the same story all over this area and not just NW Shelby County.  Devon isn't keen on drilling for Haynesville gas at the moment.
  • adubu

    jfree1--- it maybe the location of NW Shelby more than anything plus you are correct Devon like all the others are following oil and gas with good liquids and the east texas shale is dry gas and moving out of marginal play at 3.75 NG prices--will need $7+ to come back. Most are still active in the south west shelby into san augustine and SE Nacgodoches county where they are finding well 15-20 mmcf+ IPs
  • jffree1

    XTO still has 8 rigs down here but they are scattered over three counties.  Exco and EOG are still fairly busy in Nac. and San Augustine but I think they will have most of the HBP drilling finished up this year so if the gas price doesn't improve later this year, I think you will see a lot of rigs moving out of the trough.

    Devon and a few others are drilling CV wells up north where they have a chance at finding a little condensate.  And, there is a huge rumor running through Harrison and Panola that someone brought in a nice  oil well.  Nothing substantial to back it up yet, though, so stay tuned...

  • DJG

    Renee,  Unfortunately things are pretty quiet these days in this area of Shelby County.     Devon drilled their Adams 1-H well directly adjacent to that J.Tutt survey and the results for the Haynesville completion came in at a dissappointing 1.5 mm/cfd initial report and the well has only produced under 0.2 BCF of gas in the 7 months of production that have been reported.     Devon has subsequently pulled back from additional drilling and leasing in this region.     I can emphasize with you, as our own minerals are directly next door to this well also.     Will be curious to see what happens later this year as some of the 3 year terms from Devon's Summer/Fall 2008 leases come up to term as to whether they will renew and wait for better NG prices or whether they will let the leases expire.    The current maps for Bossier Shale still show this area as a good spot, so hopefully someone will come back to the area at a later date to drill those Bossier wells in the future when (if?) NG prices do improve.
  • Pamela Pippens

    I just wish i could get some info bac hrom someone on the Holts are Gentry family and the land that is being drilled on by XTO
  • Dennis

    how do we find out if a pipeline is being built to connect the XTO Cardinals DU #1 H in Shelby County TX?  Or if there is one they will being able to tie-in to?  Status says waiting on completion so I guess that might mean waiting on pipeline?  Thanks to anyone that might have any information.
  • Charmine

    Just cruising though, haven't checked up in a long time. Looking for info on the Boles Unit today, 419-31437
  • jffree1

    Charmine, I don't find any information on that well other than the permit.  There is no completion or production so it was most likely not drilled.  The permit is over two years old and would have expired in Feb.
  • Charmine

    Thanks Jiffree. I am so out of the loop, that I don't even begin to know where to start looking to play catch up. Is this particular survey in Shelby Cty. looking like it isn't in the sweet spot after all, or has it just not been drilled enough to get an accurate idea still?
  • jffree1

    Charmine, the well results in that area were below expectations.  Drilling Haynesville wells in the north half of Shelby Co. has ceased (for now) except for a small area west of Joaquin.  I think they probably just aren't economic at today's gas price.
  • Rodeo Mom

    Are we the only ones that have producing wells on their property that have passed the 120 day mark and no Division Order or are there others out there with the same problem ???

  • DeeDee

    It's been a while since my last post. What's the latest on The Tar Heels DU Well No. 1H  in Shelbyville since May 2011? Any DOs? I was unable to locate it on the RR site this evening. Any help with this is appreciated.
  • intrepid

    Has GHS dried up?
  • jffree1

    The ET side has... it seems.  It's been quiet since school started and now it's holidays and deer hunting.  Have you looked at Les B's Drilling Rigs reports lately?  There are 4 rigs in Shelby, 6 in San Augustine and a few up north.  The only place where things are still jumping is Nacogdoches.

  • Mike

    There seems to be a lot of permitting lately based on filings.   XTO and some Chesapeake appear to be active and several smaller companies, so its not all dryed up in Shelby.

  • jffree1

    "There are 4 rigs in Shelby" which is notable because Shelby County was the focus of drilling a year ago with a high point of 19 rigs drilling at once.  The price of gas is supressing activity but XTO and CHK still have acreage to HBP so drilling will continue but at a slower pace unless the price of gas goes up significantly.

  • Butterfoot

    Texas RRC has restricted public online access to Drillling Permit information. Anyone know why?

  • jffree1

    Butterfoot, it was a temporary situation.  It is available now but you may find it unavailable Sunday afternoon when they shut down for regular maintenance.

  • Charmine

    Hi Shelby county! Still alive and kicking, though I don't come on much anymore. Now that my disease has progressed such, I do wish I had signed on my last offer back in 2009. Oh well, I will will it to my nieces and nephews, so maybe my small little share will bring them great rewards in their lifetime! Take care y'all!

    ALERT SHELBY COUNTY MINERAL OWNERS: please contact Representative Chris Paddie at Rep. Chris Paddie (R – Tyler) chris.paddie@house.state.tx.us 512-463-0556 and ask him to VOTE NO on HB100 - Forced Pooling bill in the House Energy Resources committee on Wednesday March 13!

    We must KILL THIS BILL in committee. This is a terrible bill for all Texas land and mineral owners.

  • Robin S

    Has anyone heard of new leases in or very near to Center?  My land is a good part of the Harvey Survey and our last lease expired in 2011.  Are there any producing wells close to this?
