Written by Oseberg | Feb 12, 2018 6:00:00 AM

As we prepare for Valentine’s Day, our gift to you is not a bouquet of roses or a box of chocolates, but some incredible nuggets of information you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else.

Leasing

  • WSGP increases acreage in Pittsburg county.
  • Continental continues to pick up leases in the SCOOP and remains one of the most active operators in Oklahoma.
  • R D Williams & Company have been very active in Love County along the OK/TX Border.

Spacing

  • The top three operators in terms of spacing are focusing their activity in the STACK; expect these operators be top drillers in the near future.

Pooling

  • Pooling applications are very high in Hughes with Antioch and Silver Creek the two most active operators.
  • Look for Antioch to increase its activity in the near future, potentially becoming one of the biggest operators in the Arkoma during 2018.

Intents

  • Last week, Newfield was the most active operator in terms of intents to drill. Alongside Continental, both operators are focused in the SCOOP and STACK.

Completions

  • Activity is abundant in the STACK; the main players stay consistent with a high level of activity. These include Alta Mesa (Oklahoma Energy Acquisitions), Continental, Devon, and Jones.

  • We expect completion activity to continue to be focused in the STACK.

    Density

    Transfers

    • With a purchase of more than 20 wells in Nowata county from Rocky Top Energy, Cewell Energy is the highlight this week in terms of transfers.

    Location Exceptions

    • Location exceptions continue to be primarily filed in the STACK.
    • Be on the lookout for more horizontal wells during the first half of 2018.
