I recall it being 90 business days. Antero paid us in far less than that. Most I know who have been paid were paid close to the last day.

Two weeks over for me and a few 1 to 2 months over...when time is up I called them I had my check two weeks later ,good luck

No that was 120 days they dated the check for Dec 27 had to amend on Jan 16 with Antero....went on line found the number and called and it is business days,,,,

Was that just 90 days or business days Bobbie Farmer. we were told at the time by the land agent it would just be straight 90 days..but they don't always know for sure...and what is the AEU number that you called..thanks for replying everyone

Ok you were with Antero.......we are with AEU....I have not heard yet of anyone getting there bonus for pooling.....

Has anyone here signed a lease recently?  If so, what was the up front money and royalty.  I have just cleared the title on my minerals and am now free to sign a lease on my 335 acres in Wills and Madison Townships.

In this current market you may be better off waiting until they need your land to make up a unit.

Let us know, I am very curious about the Madison township parcel(s). I think Wills is a desirable township, not sure about Madison.

Seems like Richland, Oxford, Wills and Millwood township are most desirable in Guernsey county.

I would hold off for a while on signing a lease. I heard the other day that most companies are offering half of what has been paid the last few months.

I see Carrizo is tearing down their rig on Frankfort rd. Any Idea where they're going with it? they have a pad built right down the road by New Gottengen Rd. 1/2 mile. north. Seems a likely spot.

Read Carrizo's latest comments on Utica spending....When oil prices go up, the rig will follow.

Carrizo Oil & Gas Announces Analyst Conference Highlights

HOUSTON, Jan. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc.'s (Nasdaq:CRZO) senior management is hosting an analyst conference today to provide an update on the company's current operations and future plans. The presentation includes the following key highlights:

  • Initiating 2015 crude oil production growth target of 17%
  • Announcing 2015 drilling and completion capital expenditure plan of $450-$470 million
  • Reporting preliminary Q4'14 crude oil production of 22,130 Bbl/d, above the high-end of guidance
  • Increasing average Eagle Ford Shale per-well EURs to 510 MBoe from 499 MBoe
  • Decreasing average expected Eagle Ford Shale well costs to $5.8 million
  • Confirming 40-acre downspacing in the Niobrara B bench
  • Reporting initial results from the Brown 1H well in the Utica Shale, which delivered a recent 6-day rate of 502 Bbl/d of condensate and 1.1 MMcf/d of rich gas on a 16/64" choke

S.P. "Chip" Johnson, IV, Carrizo's President and CEO, commented, "2014 was a record year for Carrizo as we delivered crude oil production growth of approximately 63%. While 2015 looks to be a more challenging year given the sell-off in commodity prices, our combination of high-return assets, operational flexibility, and solid balance sheet have us well positioned to manage the downturn and be able to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. For 2015, we're trimming our drilling and completion capital expenditure plan by ~35%, but still expect to keep oil production roughly flat with the fourth quarter of 2014. This should maintain our strong balance sheet and also allow us to quickly resume rapid oil production growth once prices recover."

"Given the decline in commodity prices, we have been working diligently to reduce our service costs. As an example, we have achieved cost savings of ~12% from late 2014 levels in the Eagle Ford Shale, and expect this to increase to ~20% by year-end. If commodity prices stay at depressed levels, we would expect service costs to decline further."

"We are pleased with the results from our second well in the Utica Shale, the Brown 1H. This was an updip test of our acreage in the play and helps de-risk our western acreage position. We plan to perform an extended flow test on the well to better understand the reservoir performance in this part of the play."

Operational Update

In the Eagle Ford Shale, Carrizo is increasing its type curve EUR for the play to 510 MBoe per well from 499 MBoe due to continued strong performance across its position. Additionally, through the combination of continued improvements in operating efficiency and service cost reductions, Carrizo now expects completed well costs to average $5.8 million by the fourth quarter of 2015.

In the Utica Shale, Carrizo's second well, the Brown 1H in Guernsey County, was brought online January 15, 2015. From January 16 through January 21, the well averaged 502 Bbl/d of condensate and 1.1 MMcf/d of rich natural gas on a 16/64" choke. Carrizo is encouraged by the early results from the Brown 1H well, which was an updip test of the company's acreage on the western side of its position. Carrizo is the operator of the Brown 1H well, and holds a 50% working interest in it.

In the Niobrara formation, Carrizo has tested 40-acre spacing in the B bench at five separate pilots spread across its acreage position. Based on the analysis of these well results, combined with an analysis of non-operated results, Carrizo has adjusted its development in Area 1 and part of Area 2 to include 40-acre spacing vs. 60-acre spacing previously. This adds approximately 75 net locations to the company's drilling inventory in the play. Additionally, as the added locations are in the Company's higher-return areas of the play, Carrizo is increasing its type curve EUR for the play to 275 MBoe per well from 253 MBoe; the Company's type curve EUR excludes wells that are not economical below $80/Bbl.

2015 Production and Capital Spending Outlook

Given the decline in commodity prices, Carrizo is reducing its planned capital spending in 2015 vs. 2014. Carrizo's initial 2015 drilling and completion plan is $450-$470 million, a decrease of approximately 35% vs. the 2014 level. This level of spending should allow the Company to run three rigs in the Eagle Ford during the year as well as participate in lease maintenance activity in the Niobrara and Utica. Carrizo expects to be able to easily manage its leasehold obligations during the year with its 2015 plan. The Company's initial 2015 land and seismic capital expenditure plan in $35 million.

Carrizo is providing initial 2015 oil production guidance of 21,800-22,400 Bbls/d. Using the midpoint of this range, the Company's 2015 oil production growth guidance equates to 17%. For natural gas and NGLs, Carrizo is providing initial 2015 guidance of 65-75 MMcfe/d; this assumes the Company voluntarily curtails a larger amount of volumes in the Marcellus Shale in 2015 vs. 2014 due to depressed local market prices. For the first quarter of 2015, Carrizo expects oil production to be 20,300-20,700 Bbls/d and natural gas and NGL production to be 63-73 MMcfe/d. A summary of Carrizo's production and cost guidance is provided in the attached tables.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Update

Preliminary estimates of production volumes during the fourth quarter of 2014 were 37,699 Boe/d. Preliminary estimates of oil production during the quarter averaged 22,130 Bbls/d, while preliminary estimates of natural gas and NGL production averaged 93,413 Mcfe/d. Based on these preliminary estimates, production during the fourth quarter exceeded the high end of Company guidance. Carrizo's preliminary estimate of net cash from derivative settlements during the fourth quarter is $12.0 million. Updated cost guidance for the quarter is provided in the attached tables.
