Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?

Looking for a reasonable explanation for skipping an entire area for drilling. We are completely surrounded by drilling (some of the wells are the largest in the county). Could there be some…Continue

Looks pretty filled in around the area but of course lots more wells to be drilled"
Alex Smith replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"We really hope it is sooner rather than later, or at least our kids and grandkids hope it is sooner. It is getting louder and louder in this area, but I guess if there is lots of production it will be worth it.
Thanks for the info.

Bill Guerra replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"This area is right near the highest producing wells in the entire Eagle Ford. My guess or hunch is that insufficient infrastructure is in place right now might be the reason. Lacking sufficient pipeline or processing capacity may be the culprit…"
Chip Thompson replied to Alex Smith's discussion Explanation of Geology"As others have mentioned, the Buda, as a carbonate, isn't typically frac'd in the way most of us are familiar...there are other stimulation techniques that show promise such as gas fracking. The Buda can be fractured and gassy in…"

I have a small amount of info from EOG on 2 units that are being put together possibly. The first unit is the drake Rudolph 600 acres lease expires in oct so they will drill a well in August time frame. This unit is on next to the burrows…"
amy w zinsmeyer replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?" Mac, Ok that makes me laugh out loud, really!!! I think the folks that did not have leasing that perpetuates have done far better than the ones in my scenario. I guess making RV parks and saloons is a way to capitalize until…"
Mac Henley replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"Amy, that's the situation we are in with a chalk well. It's like having reports due for school. 10 are due in six months, another 10 in a year, then one is due whenever, no time limit. If you are EOG which reports are you going to work on…"
amy w zinsmeyer replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"We have a pre-existing lease from Blackbrush(original lease from 1960's), which is in the Person Edwards field. It is still producing at the minimum. EOG has the surrounding leases (literally surrounding) and is producing the…"
"Although there have been a few recent Pearsall wells drillined in Karnes County (e.g. Marathon, EOG on the Kotara-Carter), the there have been no announced completions to my knowledge. Plus even if there were, the issue of economic viability would…"
Henry Ford replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"The company is EOG in Karnes County. I do not recall any particular verbiage in the lease but I may need to look again. I have seen a map of where the pearsall extends but it was hard to determine if it has adequate thickness in…"
Mac Henley replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"Henry, the only experience I have personally is that our land is HBP with a chalk well, but we had a depth severance at "100 feet below the Buda", is there any verbiage like that in your lease ? If not maybe what you are suggesting in your…"
Andrew Swann replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"Interesting and yes, very likely they paid the bonus on the acreage HBP in the pool to extend the lease for the rights below the EF ( Pearsall ). If you care to share, it would be very interesting to know the operator and the area. That might tell…"
Henry Ford replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"Mac, that's brings up a question we have on our lease. We have a standard lease where after three years the oil company had the option to extend the lease two more years unless there was production on the land. The company did drill…"
Mac Henley replied to Alex Smith's discussion Completely surrounded by wells, but none here. Why not?"Alex, does EOG also have your Pearsall in this current lease or is there a depth severance ? MH"
"Finally got a chance to look at this on a map - IMO this acreage is in a great area for the Eagle Ford (Goldilocks Trend). No reason to believe that the rock will change in the area you describe. Also, this area is not near where I would consider…"

- Alex,
I have a small amount of info from EOG on 2 units that are being put together possibly. The first unit is the drake Rudolph 600 acres lease expires in oct so they will drill a well in August time frame. This unit is on next to the burrows inline with guadalupe unit and meyer unit.
The other unit is the neet unit or might be called steen family unit. It is 500 acres and is on the river directly across the river from guadalupe unit sandwiched between the marathon drake borchers unit. The lease is due to expire in December and should be drilled in October time frame. I don't have plats or anything else. ,but you might can piece your property in here somewhere. Hope this helps.
Jasmine
