I show that Chesapeake Energy has designated 14-16N-14W a drilling unit filed 2/24/2010. However, per Sonris, Camterra has filed a permit to drill on the same unit as of 3/22/2010. Anyone hear of this occuring to any other section?
Scott, if you are referring to the following well you will notice the lateral is in Section 23 which is a Camterra operated unit.
Camterra, Thompson 23 #1 Well, Serial #241048, S14(23)-T16N-R14W
S23-T16N-R14W, HA RA SU116 Unit, Camterra, Caspiana Field, Caddo Parish
By the way, there are several instances of a well operator being different than the original unit operator. Typically this means the unit operatorship was subsequently assigned to the new operator.
Scott, if you are a newbie, what Les B. is telling you is: On the Camterra well, The well pad is in Section 14, but the lateral will be drilled into and produced from Section 23.
"Planned Bottom Hole Location 660' From East Line & 150' From South Line of Section 23."
It was my understanding that the distance from a section line had to be 330 feet. Am I confusing planned bottom hole with something else? Just tryng to wrap my brain around a mental image, haven't found one of those colorful visual aides yet.
