Oklahoma Oil & Gas Activity

• Continental Resources continues to show strong signs of growth. Among others, we can attribute this to:
  (1) new completion designs, which are reportedly saving them over $1 million a well; 
  (2) operations in less-trafficked basins, which have resulted in Continental being less impacted by takeaway constraints affecting the rest of the industry.
  It’s no surprise, therefore, that Continental continues to dominate its peers, acquiring the largest number of leases in Oklahoma over the past 30 days and outpacing all others in terms of drilling permits.

• Stephens and McClain counties remain the most actively leased areas in Oklahoma.
• Camino Natural Resources has filed the largest number of pooling applications this month in Oklahoma.
• Blue Water Resources acquired more than 60 wells from Onapa Gas Company in the Arkoma Basin.

• Stone Oak Operating acquired more than 100 wells from Tapstone Energy in Northwest Oklahoma (particularly Beaver, Ellis, and Harper county).
• Continental Resources is the most active operator in terms of spacing activity in Oklahoma. Spacing apps have been filed in Garvin and Grady counties.
  
• Alta Mesa has filed the most permits to drill in the last 30 days.
• Newfield Exploration has filed the largest number of pooling applications in Oklahoma over the last 30 days.

Understanding mineral rights in Texas is no small feat, even for the most experienced of land professionals. As we all know, Texas does things the way Texas wants, so it is no surprise that Texas Pooling rules and norms do not resemble those in other states, like Oklahoma.

Oseberg couldn't be more thrilled to be recognized as one of The Best Places to Work in Oklahoma by The Journal Record.

Oseberg Map Services

Oseberg recently launched Oseberg Map Services. Map Services makes it easier for both GIS professionals and everyday map users to bring Oseberg's leading land, lease, regulatory & drilling datasets directly into their preferred mapping environments, including ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Desktop/ArcMap or any other ESRI-compliant application. We have taken an '80/20' approach with Map Services, packing the most value with the minimum amount of attributes required while also drastically reducing the number of replicated datasets that need to be managed and tracked.
