questions and responses 00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:20.560 after they have been answered. 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:22.420 Some questions may be held for answer 00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:24.560 until the end of the presentation. 00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:27.370 Presentations and webinar recordings are all available 00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:30.320 by navigating to RRC regulatory webinars 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.670 from the oil and gas workshops and seminars page 00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:35.510 on Railroad Commission of Texas website. 00:00:35.510 --> 00:00:37.720 Our presenter this afternoon is Krystal Heibel 00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:39.030 at the engineering unit 00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:40.860 and technical marketing department of the oil 00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:42.290 and gas division. 00:00:42.290 --> 00:00:44.160 All right, let's go ahead and get started. 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.070 Krystal, whenever you're ready. 00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:47.470 Thanks Molly. 00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:48.303 Hello everyone. 00:00:48.303 --> 00:00:51.290 My name is Krystal and I work as an engineering specialist 00:00:51.290 --> 00:00:54.300 in the engineering unit at the Railroad Commission. 00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.320 I'm going to go over this presentation today, 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.970 just about some knowledge on field transfers. 00:00:58.970 --> 00:01:01.760 I'm gonna go over what field transfers are and what they 00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:02.900 are used for. 00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:05.530 I'm going to talk about Statewide Rule 40 00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:09.380 and about what type of situation needs a field transfer. 00:01:09.380 --> 00:01:10.213 At the end, 00:01:10.213 --> 00:01:12.340 I will go over what information is required 00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:13.670 in a field transfer, 00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:16.470 and I'll show you what an approval letter looks like. 00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:18.233 So let's get started. 00:01:21.530 --> 00:01:23.580 So, a long time ago, 00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:25.860 long before I worked at the Railroad Commission, 00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:29.130 field transfers were rare and discouraged. 00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:32.500 They were used as a correction tool for when wells replaced 00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:34.570 in an incorrect field. 00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:37.410 During recent times the field transfers are dominantly used 00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:41.110 to bring wells into compliance with Statewide Rule 40. 00:01:41.110 --> 00:01:44.113 I will explain Statewide Rule 40 in later slides. 00:01:49.460 --> 00:01:52.500 So, operators will submit their field transfer requests 00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.610 to the engineering unit and the reviewers like myself, 00:01:55.610 --> 00:01:58.730 look to see if a field transfer brings some degree of order 00:01:58.730 --> 00:02:00.800 to the well's current situation. 00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:03.150 To elaborate, the reviewer will look to see 00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:05.990 if other wells in the area are already placed 00:02:05.990 --> 00:02:07.640 in the desired fields. 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.200 We do not wanna situation where the well in question 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.180 is placed in a field that does not make sense 00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:14.470 of the area's geology. 00:02:14.470 --> 00:02:16.780 We also look to see if the field transfer 00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.100 is necessary for this situation. 00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:21.740 If the well's in a Statewide Rule 40 violation, 00:02:21.740 --> 00:02:24.170 then a field transfer makes perfect sense 00:02:24.170 --> 00:02:25.793 to correct that problem. 00:02:29.290 --> 00:02:31.870 Like I said earlier, the reviewers want to make sure 00:02:31.870 --> 00:02:34.720 the field transfer brings some degree of order 00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:36.510 to the wells current situation. 00:02:36.510 --> 00:02:39.250 This means that we make sure that the desired field 00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:42.630 makes sense geographically and geologically. 00:02:42.630 --> 00:02:45.442 Geographically means that we want to make sure that 00:02:45.442 --> 00:02:49.070 see if other wells in the surrounding areas are already 00:02:49.070 --> 00:02:50.770 within the desire's field. 00:02:50.770 --> 00:02:53.430 If so, then that's a really great start. 00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:55.810 Next, we check to make sure that the well makes sense 00:02:55.810 --> 00:02:57.000 geologically. 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.370 We look to see at what depths the wells perforated 00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.750 and in what formation or formations 00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:04.610 the well is producing from. 00:03:04.610 --> 00:03:06.940 We look to see if other wells within the desired field 00:03:06.940 --> 00:03:08.750 are producing from similar depths 00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:11.130 and from the same formations. 00:03:11.130 --> 00:03:14.050 If there is some confusion figuring these things out, 00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:16.160 then we may request additional information 00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:19.360 such as a cross-section and an area map. 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.843 More on that stuff later, too. 00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:29.660 Just so you're aware, field transfers affect 00:03:29.660 --> 00:03:32.300 the amount of acreage assigned to the wellbore. 00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:34.880 This is because fields have different field rules 00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:37.934 when it comes to calculating maximum acres. 00:03:37.934 --> 00:03:40.640 This affects the amount of hydrocarbon allowables 00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:42.470 the operator can produce. 00:03:42.470 --> 00:03:44.720 On this slide is an example of this. 00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:48.270 Both comments are for the same well with obviously 00:03:48.270 --> 00:03:52.520 the same estimated drain hole and the same take points. 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.140 The comment on the top illustrates that when the well 00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:57.530 is placed in the Phantom Wolfcamp field, 00:03:57.530 --> 00:04:00.650 the max acreage allowed is 704. 00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:01.600 On the bottom comment, 00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:05.120 the well's able to have 840 acreage when placed 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.960 in the parks consolidated fields, 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.660 thus increasing the allowables. 00:04:09.660 --> 00:04:12.020 When the field change from the Phantom Wolfcamp 00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:13.530 to the Parks Consolidated, 00:04:13.530 --> 00:04:15.380 the max acreage assigned to the wellbore 00:04:15.380 --> 00:04:19.270 increased from 704 to 840. 00:04:19.270 --> 00:04:20.630 As a friendly reminder, 00:04:20.630 --> 00:04:23.620 requesting a field transfer to alter your max acreage 00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:26.350 and allowables, is strictly not allowed. 00:04:26.350 --> 00:04:29.670 Field transfers are only allowed if they bring some degree 00:04:29.670 --> 00:04:32.253 of order to the wells current situation. 00:04:37.650 --> 00:04:38.517 As you can see here, 00:04:38.517 --> 00:04:41.899 we have an internal database that records the low numbers 00:04:41.899 --> 00:04:44.640 located within specific fields. 00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:47.680 In district eight, this very, very trend area fields 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.670 with its associated field number has multiple wells 00:04:50.670 --> 00:04:52.110 placed within it. 00:04:52.110 --> 00:04:55.123 Moving on, we will discuss Statewide Rule 40. 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.320 Statewide Rule 40. 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:05.033 A lot of field transfers are requested in order to prevent 00:05:05.033 --> 00:05:07.810 or correct for Statewide Rule 40 violations. 00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:11.010 Statewide Rule 40 is called assignment of acreage 00:05:11.010 --> 00:05:13.550 to pool development and proration units. 00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:15.650 Irrelevant clause within Statewide Rule 40, 00:05:15.650 --> 00:05:19.490 is that multiple assignment of acreage is not permitted. 00:05:19.490 --> 00:05:21.670 Multiple assignment at acreage is defined 00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:24.260 as the assignment of the same surface acreage 00:05:24.260 --> 00:05:27.050 to more than one well in a fields. 00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:30.180 Some fields have correlative intervals that overlap 00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:32.420 with the formations in another fields. 00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:35.400 A well can be perforated and multiple formations, 00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:37.500 therefore, in this simplified example, 00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:41.610 a well can technically be placed in either fields. 00:05:41.610 --> 00:05:42.771 If an operator as well, 00:05:42.771 --> 00:05:45.580 wells are producing from the same interval 00:05:45.580 --> 00:05:49.150 and the operator is assigning the wells to different fields, 00:05:49.150 --> 00:05:51.700 then that is a Statewide Rule 40 violation. 00:05:51.700 --> 00:05:54.263 An example of this is on the next slide. 00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:04.600 This slide states that it's a Statewide Rule 40 violation, 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.830 if wells that are producing from the same formation 00:06:07.830 --> 00:06:09.800 are assigned to multiple fields. 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.260 Some fields allow for the wells to be perforated 00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:13.380 and multiple formations, 00:06:13.380 --> 00:06:16.510 and sometimes these formations they overlap. 00:06:16.510 --> 00:06:18.820 Therefore, it is a Statewide Rule 40 violation 00:06:18.820 --> 00:06:22.190 if the same surface acreage is assigned in multiple fields. 00:06:22.190 --> 00:06:24.380 I'm going to give you an example. 00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:25.840 So for example, 00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:29.270 two wells that are producing from the same formation, 00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:32.010 let's say the Third Bone Springs. 00:06:32.010 --> 00:06:34.300 This operator's wells can be in either 00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:36.300 the two Georgia's Bone Springs field 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:38.980 or the Phantom Wolfcamp field. 00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:41.903 The operator cannot have one well producing 00:06:41.903 --> 00:06:45.510 from the Third Bone Springs within the two Georgia's field 00:06:45.510 --> 00:06:48.200 and the other well producing from the Wolfcamp. 00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:51.760 There must be separation or a pattern for what is being put 00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:54.370 into the two Georgia's Bone Springs field 00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:57.083 and what's being put into the Phantom Wolfcamp fields. 00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:07.090 Clause D does not want to prevent the reformation 00:07:07.090 --> 00:07:10.220 of development or proration units as long as 00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:14.280 no multiple assignment of acreage occurs, 00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:16.470 and such reformation does not violate 00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:19.163 other conservation regulations. 00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:26.200 Now let's talk about UFT fields, 00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:29.010 Unconventional Fracture Treatment fields. 00:07:29.010 --> 00:07:31.410 This part of Statewide Rule 40 is unique 00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:34.210 because it says that it is permissible 00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:36.823 to have multiple assignments of acreage. 00:07:38.310 --> 00:07:40.510 The next slide will talk about this further. 00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:47.920 So clause E of the UFT fields states that 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.610 where ownership of the right to drill 00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:51.860 or produce from a tract in the UFT field 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:53.970 is divided horizontally, 00:07:53.970 --> 00:07:56.780 acreage may be assigned to more than one well 00:07:56.780 --> 00:07:58.430 provided that the wells having 00:07:58.430 --> 00:08:00.300 the same level wellbore profile 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:03.290 are not completed in the same ownership interval. 00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:06.410 For purposes of the section divided horizontally 00:08:06.410 --> 00:08:08.240 means that the ownership of the right to drill 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.500 or produce has been separated in a depth intervals 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:13.970 defined by total vertical depth, 00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:16.330 depth relative to specific geologic contact 00:08:16.330 --> 00:08:17.893 or some other discriminator. 00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:21.400 A tract maybe divided horizontally, 00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:24.820 even where one operator has the right to drill 00:08:24.820 --> 00:08:28.190 or produce multiple intervals on the same tract of land 00:08:28.190 --> 00:08:30.000 in the same field. 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.370 So to apply for multiple assignment at acreage 00:08:33.370 --> 00:08:34.740 under this subsection, 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.320 the operators drilling permit application 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.680 must indicate the upper and lower limits 00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:43.394 of the operators ownership interval. 00:08:43.394 --> 00:08:47.870 The interval shown on the drilling permit application 00:08:47.870 --> 00:08:51.763 is measured as a total vertical depth from the surface. 00:08:59.180 --> 00:09:02.350 So what constitutes a field transfer? 00:09:02.350 --> 00:09:04.410 Now that we looked at one of the main reasons 00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:06.390 people request field transfers, 00:09:06.390 --> 00:09:08.780 let's go over some scenarios that may 00:09:08.780 --> 00:09:12.070 or may not require a field transfer. 00:09:12.070 --> 00:09:14.390 And overarching question would be, 00:09:14.390 --> 00:09:17.060 how do we change the field name for this well, 00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:19.133 from field A to field B? 00:09:20.020 --> 00:09:21.260 To answer this question, 00:09:21.260 --> 00:09:23.560 let's look at it, some specific things. 00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:26.180 Is the well on schedule in field A? 00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:28.550 Are the current perfs different from the perfs 00:09:28.550 --> 00:09:30.820 that were originally associated with field A? 00:09:37.450 --> 00:09:40.310 If the well is not on a proration schedule in field A, 00:09:40.310 --> 00:09:43.790 then you just need to amend the existing drilling permit, 00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:46.900 which is called a Form W-1 to add field B. 00:09:46.900 --> 00:09:49.440 You'll mark amended as the purpose of filing 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.110 on the Form W-1. 00:09:51.110 --> 00:09:53.080 So then you'll change the field name 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.250 on the completion report to field B. 00:09:55.250 --> 00:09:58.630 So easy peasy, no field transfer is required 00:09:58.630 --> 00:09:59.863 for this situation. 00:10:06.850 --> 00:10:10.710 If the well is on the proration schedule in field A 00:10:10.710 --> 00:10:13.240 and the current perfs are different, 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.340 then you need to file a drilling permit Form W-1 00:10:16.340 --> 00:10:17.680 for field B. 00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:21.020 You'll mark recompletion as the purpose of filing 00:10:21.020 --> 00:10:25.210 on Form W-1 and you'll file a new completion report 00:10:25.210 --> 00:10:26.450 for field B. 00:10:26.450 --> 00:10:30.993 So another situation where a field transfer is not required. 00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:42.430 So if the well is on the proration schedule in field A, 00:10:42.430 --> 00:10:45.150 and the current perfs are not different, 00:10:45.150 --> 00:10:47.960 then a field transfer request is needed. 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.930 You'll submit that field transfer request 00:10:49.930 --> 00:10:52.900 to the engineering unit and reviewer like myself 00:10:52.900 --> 00:10:54.403 will review the request. 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.950 So when you submit your field transfer request, 00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:05.800 we require some additional information. 00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:09.840 So a letter of request is required, 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.700 and you'll have to say why the field requested 00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:15.960 is more appropriate than the permitted field. 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.890 Just so you're aware you may request a transfer 00:11:18.890 --> 00:11:23.060 more than one well on a single letter application. 00:11:23.060 --> 00:11:25.760 So in terms of information, we require, 00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:29.480 we need the operator information such as the operator name 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.020 and their number, well information, the well number, 00:11:33.020 --> 00:11:36.450 lease number and API, the current field name and number, 00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:38.870 the desired field name and number, 00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:42.930 and the credit of interval, the wells producing interval, 00:11:42.930 --> 00:11:47.220 the current depth and the current status of the well. 00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:48.820 If you ever have questions about this, 00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:51.080 please feel free to contact the engineering unit. 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:52.080 We can help you out. 00:11:55.810 --> 00:11:59.530 So transferring a well to different desired field 00:11:59.530 --> 00:12:03.180 should make sense geographically and geologically. 00:12:03.180 --> 00:12:05.380 Reviewers are just trying to make sure 00:12:05.380 --> 00:12:08.030 that the well transfer will bring some degree 00:12:08.030 --> 00:12:09.563 of order to the well. 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.920 So in terms of information required, 00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:19.500 if you submit an area map, 00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:22.760 it must have the well locations of all names 00:12:22.760 --> 00:12:25.140 for field names for each well. 00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:28.040 It needs to demonstrate why the requested field 00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:30.385 is geographically appropriate. 00:12:30.385 --> 00:12:33.750 If you provide a cross-section which may be needed, 00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:37.510 it needs to tie the subject well to other wells in the area 00:12:37.510 --> 00:12:39.590 because it's main point is to demonstrate 00:12:39.590 --> 00:12:42.823 why that field is geologically appropriate. 00:12:50.550 --> 00:12:54.010 So the engineering unit staff will review the request 00:12:54.010 --> 00:12:56.460 and provide information for appropriateness. 00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:58.700 Upon approval, the requesting party 00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:00.693 will be sent an approval letter, 00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:03.253 which looks like this. 00:13:06.430 --> 00:13:09.690 The areas that are highlighted or areas that we change, 00:13:09.690 --> 00:13:11.780 depending on the course they request. 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.710 This concludes the end of my field transfers presentation. 00:13:18.710 --> 00:13:21.260 I hope you've learned a thing or two about field transfers. 00:13:21.260 --> 00:13:23.960 If you have any questions, I can answer them now, 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:25.880 or you can reach out to the engineering unit 00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:28.100 or the proration unit at the phone numbers 00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:29.630 listed on this slide. 00:13:29.630 --> 00:13:30.970 Thank you for listening. 00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:33.263 Please, let me know if you have any questions. 00:13:40.114 --> 00:13:43.280 Krystal, can you go back 00:13:43.280 --> 00:13:47.480 to the required information section? 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.993 Yes, this one? 00:13:50.582 --> 00:13:52.100 I believe so. 00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:55.520 A question is, can you repeat the required information? 00:13:55.520 --> 00:13:57.110 I wonder if they mean this one? 00:13:57.110 --> 00:14:00.363 I think it was one of three. 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.390 Yes, I bet so. 00:14:04.390 --> 00:14:05.580 Yes, I definitely can. 00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:08.290 We need the operator information, 00:14:08.290 --> 00:14:10.620 which means we need the operator name 00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:13.653 and their operator number, their key file number. 00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:19.573 We need well information such as the well number, 00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:24.793 the lease number and the API number. 00:14:27.050 --> 00:14:31.300 We need the current field name and number, 00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:35.230 and we also need the desired field name 00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:40.230 and number and the correlative interval. 00:14:42.450 --> 00:14:47.450 So, we also need to know the current status of the well. 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:53.160 when operators submit field transfer requests, 00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:55.250 a lot of times they actually don't have 00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:58.900 all of this information and that's it. 00:14:58.900 --> 00:15:00.220 I guess it's more preferred 00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:02.490 if they do have more information, 00:15:02.490 --> 00:15:04.110 but we definitely can look up 00:15:04.110 --> 00:15:06.330 a lot of this information ourselves, 00:15:06.330 --> 00:15:08.450 as long as we have the API number 00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:11.640 and we definitely do need to know what field 00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:14.880 the operator is wanting to transfer to. 00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:18.740 So I'd say the most important things are the API number 00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.490 and the desired fields, 00:15:20.490 --> 00:15:25.490 because we can look up most of the other information too. 00:15:38.640 --> 00:15:39.720 Krystal, another one. 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.430 When you say send to the engineering group, 00:15:42.430 --> 00:15:43.820 who exactly is that? 00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:47.103 And can these be sent via email as attachments? 00:15:48.010 --> 00:15:48.910 Oh yeah, definitely. 00:15:48.910 --> 00:15:52.300 So the engineering unit is the unit that Weston 00:15:52.300 --> 00:15:53.820 and myself are a part of. 00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:58.570 So there is, let me see, 00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:02.380 Oh, I did not include the email address, unfortunately, 00:16:02.380 --> 00:16:04.350 but if you call this number, 00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:07.340 we can give you the engineering unit email address 00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:10.203 and yes, you can submit them as attachments. 00:16:11.350 --> 00:16:15.152 Usually, people submit the field transfer request 00:16:15.152 --> 00:16:17.120 as attachments. 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.530 On the top of your head Weston, 00:16:18.530 --> 00:16:22.080 you made the engineering unit email address. 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:23.080 Yeah. 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.910 Just give me 10 seconds here 00:16:25.910 --> 00:16:28.810 and I'll get it so that everyone can write it down. 00:16:28.810 --> 00:16:30.414 Thank you so much. 00:16:30.414 --> 00:16:32.230 All right, I'm happy to type it out. 00:16:32.230 --> 00:16:35.640 If someone wants to type a question 00:16:35.640 --> 00:16:39.360 or just ask for it again, then I can type. 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.040 That'd be really helpful. 00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:42.730 Actually, Weston, you can go ahead 00:16:42.730 --> 00:16:47.730 and still type the answer, it's still open. 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.707 Okay, great, thank you. 00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:05.850 Also, if anyone is requesting 00:17:05.850 --> 00:17:08.980 a field transfer and they have my, 00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:12.070 or Weston's direct email address, 00:17:12.070 --> 00:17:14.430 you can always send them to us too, 00:17:14.430 --> 00:17:15.880 and we will get it processed. 00:17:30.611 --> 00:17:31.933 All right. 00:17:33.910 --> 00:17:38.910 So it's engunit@rrctexas.gov, 00:17:39.830 --> 00:17:42.393 it's under the question that Larry Smith asked, 00:17:43.569 --> 00:17:45.040 he just said, "Send the email." 00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:46.340 So I typed it under there. 00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:48.847 Thank you so much Weston. 00:17:48.847 --> 00:17:51.060 And it's Texas spelled out too, 00:17:51.060 --> 00:17:53.463 just so it's not TX, but TEX- 00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:59.890 Alright, Crispy has asked two more questions, 00:17:59.890 --> 00:18:02.900 as a Commission staff considered field consolidation 00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:06.480 for some of the problem areas like Fanon and Wolf Bone 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.460 eliminate the books, field shopping occurs? 00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:12.293 Oh, wow. 00:18:12.293 --> 00:18:13.197 That's a great question. 00:18:13.197 --> 00:18:16.630 (laughing) Weston, let me know 00:18:16.630 --> 00:18:18.020 if you have any insight on this, 00:18:18.020 --> 00:18:22.820 but I haven't heard of any work being done to, 00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:26.240 I guess, amend or 'cause you're right. 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.660 Operators, there is some problem with field shopping 00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:33.692 in terms of placing wells in those two fields. 00:18:33.692 --> 00:18:35.910 Have you heard anything Weston? 00:18:35.910 --> 00:18:39.530 So, on those two fields I haven't, 00:18:39.530 --> 00:18:44.530 but I will say one sort of point against doing, 00:18:47.770 --> 00:18:51.680 I guess, more field consolidation than less would be, 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.620 you get into areas such as, you know, 00:18:53.620 --> 00:18:57.030 the Sprayberry Trend area, where it gets very, very large. 00:18:57.030 --> 00:18:58.700 And then all of a sudden you have to introduce 00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:01.020 a sort of Statewide Rule 40 field 00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:02.970 because all of a sudden you can't produce 00:19:02.970 --> 00:19:05.690 as much of that field, 00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:07.560 'cause you get into double sign at the Bay Bridge 00:19:07.560 --> 00:19:09.853 and whatnot as you would like to. 00:19:11.050 --> 00:19:13.373 So for that reason, 00:19:14.470 --> 00:19:17.660 one of the many reasons we don't consolidate, 00:19:17.660 --> 00:19:20.090 or we're not currently talking about consolidating 00:19:20.090 --> 00:19:21.840 feels like the Phantom or Wolfcamp, 00:19:22.939 --> 00:19:25.390 is it so we can sort of produce 00:19:25.390 --> 00:19:27.900 out of the entire corroded interval 00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:30.983 of that field versus just making it enormously large. 00:19:32.030 --> 00:19:34.140 If you'd like a followup on this question, 00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:35.590 just shoot us your email address. 00:19:35.590 --> 00:19:38.523 And someone in engineering unit can get back to you. 00:19:39.796 --> 00:19:40.748 Very true. 00:19:40.748 --> 00:19:43.590 Tim Spear, the engineering unit manager 00:19:43.590 --> 00:19:46.774 may know about something that could be currently happening 00:19:46.774 --> 00:19:49.166 with regards to those fields. 00:19:49.166 --> 00:19:54.166 One more Krystal,, the new well on a lease 00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:58.030 that already has permitted county regular field wells 00:19:58.030 --> 00:20:01.363 be placed in a field other than county regular. 00:20:02.968 --> 00:20:04.610 Oh, Weston, 00:20:04.610 --> 00:20:07.620 I think you might know more about those county, right? 00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:09.309 So on that, 00:20:09.309 --> 00:20:14.309 I would say most likely not, 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.750 this would probably be an instance 00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:20.601 where you would wanna reach out to Krystal, myself, 00:20:20.601 --> 00:20:24.180 or Tim, so that we can look at the GIS 00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:27.220 and maybe even get with the proration unit 00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:30.630 or work compliance to avoid any sort of 00:20:30.630 --> 00:20:32.590 double Simon of acreage. 00:20:32.590 --> 00:20:35.680 I would assume most likely that it does need to be 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:37.130 in that county regular field. 00:20:40.430 --> 00:20:42.120 Thank you Weston. 00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:42.953 But yeah, we're, we're happy 00:20:42.953 --> 00:20:45.110 to just take a look at that. 00:20:45.110 --> 00:20:47.790 See, we have another one from Bonnie, 00:20:47.790 --> 00:20:52.350 where can you find fuel orders for the fields? 00:20:52.350 --> 00:20:54.003 Oh, like field rules? 00:20:54.862 --> 00:20:59.340 So when you're referring to the final orders 00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.590 or these specific fields- 00:21:02.620 --> 00:21:05.232 Does she mean the dockets? 00:21:05.232 --> 00:21:07.503 That's my assumption. 00:21:09.230 --> 00:21:12.504 The dockets are on the RRC website. 00:21:12.504 --> 00:21:15.823 Weston, what is the name of the new dockets? 00:21:17.413 --> 00:21:19.870 It's called cases. 00:21:19.870 --> 00:21:23.740 Generally the easiest way to find information 00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:25.764 on special field rules 00:21:25.764 --> 00:21:28.000 and dockets and whatnot, 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:33.000 is to use the field wary search in the online system 00:21:33.803 --> 00:21:36.177 and then from there you click on your field 00:21:36.177 --> 00:21:38.380 and then scroll down to the bottom 00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:41.870 and there should be a list of the irrelevant dockets 00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:45.163 that discuss all of these special field rules. 00:21:48.650 --> 00:21:49.950 Yes, that would be the better way. 00:21:49.950 --> 00:21:51.548 (laughing) Thank you, Weston. 00:21:51.548 --> 00:21:53.480 And then there is- 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.530 So all type out that the field rules query 00:21:56.530 --> 00:22:00.810 and attach it here for a link, 00:22:00.810 --> 00:22:02.573 hopefully that went through there. 00:22:06.868 --> 00:22:10.560 There is another docket search as well. 00:22:10.560 --> 00:22:14.360 I don't think that we really have used cases for this, 00:22:14.360 --> 00:22:18.999 but yeah, just a normal docket search by field. 00:22:18.999 --> 00:22:20.070 So if you go to docket search, 00:22:20.070 --> 00:22:22.120 you should be able to filter by field, 00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:24.070 type in that field number 00:22:24.070 --> 00:22:26.143 and then you should be able to, 00:22:27.310 --> 00:22:28.230 you should be able to pull up 00:22:28.230 --> 00:22:30.130 all the dockets related to that field. 00:22:32.707 --> 00:22:35.210 So, Bonnie, I'm more than happy 00:22:35.210 --> 00:22:36.890 to help you find something specific. 00:22:36.890 --> 00:22:39.830 in one of those dockets, if you wanna reach out to me 00:22:39.830 --> 00:22:41.020 or Krystal. 00:22:41.020 --> 00:22:43.220 We can probably find exactly what you're looking for. 00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:47.164 There're some fields do not have the dockets. 00:22:47.164 --> 00:22:50.650 So, okay, that is probably where you would wanna go 00:22:50.650 --> 00:22:55.650 into the docket search on our website. 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:01.097 And let me see if I can go ahead and send a link to that, 00:23:01.097 --> 00:23:03.780 If you don't mind bearing with me. 00:23:03.780 --> 00:23:05.140 Thank you so much, Weston , 00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:05.973 really appreciate it. 00:23:05.973 --> 00:23:09.150 'Cause I also have received emails through time 00:23:09.150 --> 00:23:10.550 of people requesting that. 00:23:10.550 --> 00:23:12.930 So I'm sure that'd be very helpful. 00:23:12.930 --> 00:23:14.360 The difficult thing is, 00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:18.870 all of you clearly know about these barely older fields, 00:23:18.870 --> 00:23:23.190 is that not all of the information is right there 00:23:23.190 --> 00:23:26.520 in the field query where it would be very nice to have. 00:23:26.520 --> 00:23:27.383 That's true. 00:23:27.383 --> 00:23:32.383 Let me see if I can find. 00:23:32.675 --> 00:23:34.060 And then I guess Weston, 00:23:34.060 --> 00:23:34.914 Oh, come on Weston. 00:23:34.914 --> 00:23:36.110 Please, go ahead. 00:23:36.110 --> 00:23:38.940 Another helpful tip is if you are looking 00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:43.770 at like a docket for a very popular field, 00:23:43.770 --> 00:23:46.880 then make sure you look at the most recent one, 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:47.713 don't look at, 00:23:47.713 --> 00:23:49.770 or I guess refer to the most recent one 00:23:49.770 --> 00:23:51.563 for most up to date information. 00:23:56.690 --> 00:24:00.822 Alright, sorry, one second. 00:24:00.822 --> 00:24:05.822 I'm gonna type, this is just the link (indistinct) 00:24:08.850 --> 00:24:11.410 where you can type in the specific field number 00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:16.410 and you should be able to find all of the dockets 00:24:16.410 --> 00:24:19.603 related to that specific field. 00:24:19.603 --> 00:24:22.290 So hopefully those older ones 00:24:22.290 --> 00:24:24.250 aren't on the online research query 00:24:24.250 --> 00:24:25.980 are here in (indistinct). 00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:30.560 So that link I just provided is under Bonnie's question 00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:32.590 or statement, which says some fields 00:24:32.590 --> 00:24:35.430 do not have the dockets. 00:24:35.430 --> 00:24:37.480 Hopefully, that's should be helpful there 00:24:39.090 --> 00:24:40.033 Thanks, so much Weston. 00:24:40.033 --> 00:24:43.070 It's the idea of Mario, you can absolutely 00:24:43.070 --> 00:24:43.903 try cases as well, 00:24:43.903 --> 00:24:45.950 and you can't find anything 00:24:45.950 --> 00:24:48.833 and in (indistinct) I would absolutely track cases. 00:24:49.780 --> 00:24:53.160 I used it earlier this morning, actually was really helpful. 00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:57.450 So definitely another place to try it next 00:24:57.450 --> 00:25:00.570 that if you can't find anything to renew this, excuse me, 00:25:03.300 --> 00:25:05.920 the through our (indistinct) 00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.380 through our field research query or through cases. 00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:11.010 So let us know when we may be able 00:25:11.010 --> 00:25:12.010 to dig a little bit deeper, 00:25:12.010 --> 00:25:13.400 maybe look through our main frame 00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.000 and see if we can find anything. 00:25:16.538 --> 00:25:18.419 Good point. 00:25:18.419 --> 00:25:21.710 Mark, if you wanna reach out to us, 00:25:21.710 --> 00:25:25.503 we could probably dig a little bit deeper on that. 00:25:25.503 --> 00:25:30.283 I think you left your email, so we'll make sure to, 00:25:32.540 --> 00:25:35.950 to get back to you there, or you have our email, 00:25:35.950 --> 00:25:38.793 so feel free to contact us. 00:25:42.650 --> 00:25:44.210 And it looks like all the questions 00:25:44.210 --> 00:25:45.230 have been answered. 00:25:45.230 --> 00:25:47.800 So I guess we'll go ahead and wrap it up. 00:25:47.800 --> 00:25:49.580 There is an evaluation available 00:25:49.580 --> 00:25:52.070 on the RRC regulatory webinars page 00:25:52.070 --> 00:25:54.570 on the Railroad Commission of Texas website. 00:25:54.570 --> 00:25:56.680 And we would really appreciate you taking the time 00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:57.740 to fill it out. 00:25:57.740 --> 00:26:00.380 Thank you everyone so much for participating this afternoon. 00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:01.363 We appreciate you. 00:26:02.740 --> 00:26:03.573 Thank you.
