Does anyone think they will ever drill? Seems like they've been going to start for the last 2 years......wondering if they are just going to be a huge flipper?

Permalink Reply by al raptoria on June 20, 2013 at 6:21am Local attorney just told me that Sierra Buckeye IS going to drill TWO wells in Tusc County,. one late this year. For whatever that's worth.
That's been the story from Sierra Buckeye for two years now.
Permalink Reply by al raptoria on June 20, 2013 at 8:01am ...and that two years is up now... Attorney mentioned the one location ...I think off of 258 where Sierra will commence drilling THIS year. They are well-funded and know infrastructure is in the works and prices fluctuate, plus the by-products have a different market. .

Permalink Reply by al raptoria on June 20, 2013 at 9:00am That sounds like the one the attorney mentioned. I asked him point blank if Sierra was just a flipper, having sat in on their meet and greet two or was it three years ago, unimpressed (offering $1500 and something like 14% then) and yesterday attorney said , No, they are not flippers, they ARE scheduled to drill the first well later THIS year. No one was more surprised than me.

I belive they'll drill when I see it.
They told me they were drilling last year.
I'm betting they sell out.....I liked dealing with them....so I hope I'm proven wrong.
Permalink Reply by maria armes on June 21, 2013 at 12:01am So what are your thoughts on drilling deadlines. I leased for 5 years and as of today they have 3 years left on the contract. If they do not drill they have to lease my place again under the same contract and pay up again. Does anyone think they will resign or just pull out?
Permalink Reply by Paul Martinelli on June 21, 2013 at 1:42am My thoughts are that it is a toss up.
Some will be drilled, some resigned, some comapnies may sell or pull out...
It all will be drilled sooner or later......so all we can do is sit tight and not get too excited and sellout.
Permalink Reply by al raptoria on June 21, 2013 at 2:27am All they have to do is drill a shallow well in order to keep the lease in effect, right? Unless your or another lease in your unit forced the point that it needs to be a horizontal well. Expect a lot of shallow wells drilled all over the area as the 5 year expiration date nears! There will always be buyers of rights/leases....but at what price, no one knows. And for what purposes.,.. again, who can be sure? This is the new gold rush - complete with all its unpredictable cycles. Hurry up and wait seems to be the mantra.
Hillyer was the source of the info.
Permalink Reply by Dott on July 13, 2013 at 3:15pm When I spoke to Sierra Resources (I believe they changed their name) recently they confirmed that they will drill the Kleski property at the end of this year and at the end of next year they will drill another well from the same pad. They are still in the process of putting together a second unit for the second well.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
