WEBVTT
00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:08.553
Good afternoon,
00:00:08.553 --> 00:00:10.610
and thank you for
attending this webinar.
00:00:10.610 --> 00:00:13.040
You may submit questions
throughout the presentation,
00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:15.170
by clicking the Q and
A button in the center
00:00:15.170 --> 00:00:16.800
of the bottom of your window.
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.980
You will see both the
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.
