JWC,, Sure has been alot of big equipment passing by my house lately.. Maybe what farmberbrad was talking about is so what happening .. We live on 1277 and about 7 miles down the rd is Goodwin community where 1196 splits off of 1277 to the right....

JWC, A friend of mine was leasing the building to Crismon and they have moved out.... I think they were going to lease the Insurance building across the rd from where they were.. upstairs of the building..... oooooo by the way how is mother in law.. Has she be able to get of of TLC yet? Hope she is doing good.. I notice today when we was coming in from chruch that there was a note on Encana door.. I need to go by and read it.... well anyway you take care and hope things are going well with the family....

JWC, Good Morning! I am trying to find where people are saying about the leasing prices in Sabine and Shelby Countys...... Have you seen these leasing prices on here? Well anyway I hope so... This would be good news for all of you..... I am trying to find out whats going on here in SA... Talk with so folks from town and some of them say that things are slowing down until the economy gets better.... I do know that Encana is still here and I think Devon is still here in Judge Fisher building.... Farmerbrad said that so of his folks said that they made the deal in 2008 but sign in 2009 with the 5000.00 offer...

JW, Hows things your way? Hopw mom in law is doing much better...... not much going on in town yet... all of them are still here... let you know if i hear anything... take care... shelley

Hope your mother in law is doing good, Let me know, and if there is anything I can do for your family. Take care ! I have been trying to keep up with what is going on here in SA but since dad has been sick I have been tied up... sorry.... well anyway I am just waiting for January things should pick up real good,, take care! Shelley

Hey JWC, I was just checking on you... Hope things your way are good..... Well just wanted to say hello... Take care !! Shelley

JWC,

If you will give me your e-mail address, I can talk to you about researching mineral title.

JF

I will JWC but "production" info is proving hard to come by unless they choose to release something in a timely fashion (like the small bits they give to ET Drilling Report). I read that it usually takes 2-3 months to get a well to production (after completion) and then I think they have 60 days to file (Monthly) reports. I'll look into that and let you know what I find out. But, right now, unless they want to pump up investors they are not being very forthcoming with production and apparently the RRC doesn't have big enough teeth to scare them into compliance.
If gas prices continue to decline we may start seeing them "shutting in" instead of producing. If that happens we won't know anything until the well goes back on line.
What we see in the drilling reports in the papers is "test flow" and not indicative of what rate they will actually produce at either.

You have to be on guard...now if you get one of those tiny offers (100's rather than 1000's) it's either someone who will settle for a shallow rights lease or someone looking to flip when the big offers come back. Or a small producer looking for a percentage interest in a well they couldn't produce alone.

I don't know if it plays out or not. I think they know way more than they want to share with us, at this time. They are going to stay in areas where they know (like the county line area) that there are enough productive formations above the HS to help defray the cost of exploration until the price pays them enough to explore the more "unknown" areas.

hey jwc, yes things are a little quite here .... there are alot of seismic folks here..... richard and i are going to ride around this weekend and check out the wells here... exspecial the one around the airport.... off 21. hope all is well your way!!!! take care.

JWC, When you get time go look through the permits for SA co. There have been some really deep wells drilled, like to 15000 and 17000 vertical and most were called unsuccessful before 1995 and Dry Hole after '95. When I have more time I may look some of them up on the map.

JWC, Yes, I did read that post and looked at the map. I went to the GIS map and the permits and tried to figure out which wells I was looking at. Didn't make much progress.

So, I went back through the permits back to '90 or so, looking for anything unusual (like really deep verticals when everyone was drilling HZ Austin Chalk). I found something interesting.

There were several wells drilled in the last 15 years or so, vertical, to around 12000' (in that neighborhood, anyhow) which were not produced and instead were tagged "DRY HOLE" (remember the dry hole in SA discussion?). A number of them were on Temple land in Sabine Co.. A landman told me that leaseholders will contract to have a hole drilled, never planning to produce it, just to get the cores and logs which are contracted to be "confidential" for a prescribed period before anyone else can buy that info. And they call it a dry hole to keep from having to release production tests. That is what I think we are seeing on that map.

That's just one of the ways O&Gs in Texas manage to keep well info away from the average person.

Hey JWC, Just checking in on you.. Hope all is well with you and the family. Things seem to be going on here. Not sure what.... Chrismon, and Encana are still here not sure about Devon...... Welll anyway if I find out anything I will let you know.... Take Care... Shelley

JWC, I haven't shared about Devon yet because I don't want to get hopes up prematurely. My atty. says he "feels" like they will be leasing again by Feb. but he didn't hazard a guess at what price. So, that part is only a guess if anyone says anything about price for lease. I think that they will resume in the areas they were working in when the leasing left off, so here's hoping for both of us.

Hi JWC , I belive Elite is so where down by Encana office..... A friend of mine told me they are leasing for 500.00 an acre...

i am going to be sending you a e-mail.....

JWC, What is the Eagle Ford Shale in South East Texas?

Yea, but for how long is the question.
