Shut in...........NEED HELP!
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a Natural Gas well in the Ozark Highlands Exploratory Unit. We signed a lease for five years wich is shut in afterwards. The well has now been sitting for seven years with no activity. South West Energy is the Lessee. I understand that the Unit is a massive project, about 182,689 acres. We have the mineral rights to 80 acres wich the well is on. Southwest Energy claims that they are experiencing delays for the pipeline that is to be attached to the well. My thoughts....Seven years is a long time for this well to just sit there.....Has anyone here experienced anything like this? Any other thoughts would be apreciated!

I have never personally experienced a pipeline hook up for this long - but I am betting that the operator feels that area is not economic to merit laying a pipeline.
I have heard from two different sources that, with today's gas prices, the Fayetteville is not economic
Sorry to put some gloom on the rose, but just passing this along

In 1981 I was in NW Colorado. Texaco had drilled some wells, the Roberts Field, I beleive it was called and that was drilled in 1957 or so. It had not produced in 1981 and the pipeline to the area was being lain as we drill about 2 miles away.
