WEBVTT
00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:11.883
Good afternoon,
00:00:11.883 --> 00:00:13.860
and thank you for attending this webinar.
00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:15.182
You will be able to submit questions
00:00:15.182 --> 00:00:16.950
throughout the presentation,
00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:19.270
by clicking the Q and A button in the center
00:00:19.270 --> 00:00:21.050
of the bottom of your window.
00:00:21.050 --> 00:00:23.330
You will see both the questions and responses
00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:24.770
after they have been answered.
00:00:24.770 --> 00:00:26.720
Some questions may be held for answer,
00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:29.080
until the end of the presentation.
00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:31.980
Presentations and webinar recordings are all available
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:35.550
by navigating to our RRC Regulatory Webinars,
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:37.790
on the Oil and Gas Workshops and Seminars page,
00:00:37.790 --> 00:00:40.510
on the Railroad Commission of Texas website.
00:00:40.510 --> 00:00:42.430
All right, let's go ahead and get started.
00:00:42.430 --> 00:00:44.780
Our presenter this afternoon is Trisha Fleming
00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:46.250
from the Well Compliance Department,
00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:48.040
and the Administrative Complaint Section
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:49.870
of the Oil and Gas division.
00:00:49.870 --> 00:00:51.370
Trisha, whenever you're ready.
00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:55.950
Well, hello everybody,
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.230
and thank you for joining me today.
00:00:58.230 --> 00:01:02.120
As we go over Web Queries, How to Stay in Compliance.
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:03.440
My name is Trisha Fleming.
00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:05.607
I've been with the Railroad Commission for 11 years,
00:01:05.607 --> 00:01:09.068
the last six years in the Well Compliance Department.
00:01:09.068 --> 00:01:14.068
I wanted to let you know that we will be allowing questions
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:19.790
in the Q and A, we'll be going over some of them vocally,
00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:23.450
but most of them will be done through the Q and A box.
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:24.653
So let's get started.
00:01:26.690 --> 00:01:30.480
This class is gonna be about how to stay in compliance,
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.390
and this is gonna have to do
00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:33.710
with the Well Compliance Department.
00:01:33.710 --> 00:01:35.650
We're gonna go over well supplements,
00:01:35.650 --> 00:01:38.830
the Proration Schedules, and Online Research Queries
00:01:38.830 --> 00:01:41.630
that are associated with the Well Compliance Department.
00:01:45.155 --> 00:01:46.080
The first thing that we're gonna look
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:49.179
at is the Oil and Gas Proration Schedules.
00:01:49.179 --> 00:01:54.090
We have them online through our home page by operator,
00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:56.980
field, gatherer, and purchaser.
00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:59.760
These are only updated once a month.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.750
So towards the end of the month,
00:02:01.750 --> 00:02:03.160
or the beginning of the next month,
00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:04.860
is when you can find those online.
00:02:08.290 --> 00:02:11.730
So the way that you get to these is you go
00:02:11.730 --> 00:02:16.050
to our homepage, rrc.texas.gov.
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:20.010
And here you will be able to look at those
00:02:20.010 --> 00:02:25.010
through the Oil and Gas menu at the top of the page here.
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:26.430
And what you're gonna do is,
00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:28.290
you would hover your mouse over this,
00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:30.300
and it'll bring up another menu.
00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:31.950
At the bottom of that menu,
00:02:31.950 --> 00:02:35.707
you will find the Research and Statistics option.
00:02:40.252 --> 00:02:44.160
And once you've selected the Research and Statistics page,
00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:46.783
you'll then choose Proration Schedules.
00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:54.330
First we're gonna take a look at how you would get
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.563
to the Proration Schedule by operator.
00:02:58.550 --> 00:03:00.400
A lot of times operators wanna see
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.420
what they have on schedule at the time,
00:03:02.420 --> 00:03:03.970
or what their allowables are,
00:03:03.970 --> 00:03:07.120
or other important information.
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.580
So once you select by operator, you're gonna find a page
00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:15.990
that's gonna have them listed by month and year.
00:03:15.990 --> 00:03:18.100
Sometimes you might wanna look at something that was
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:20.756
from three or four months ago, versus what is currently
00:03:20.756 --> 00:03:24.030
on schedule, and so you have options
00:03:24.030 --> 00:03:26.413
to choose different months and years.
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:33.160
So once you select that, you'll get to the Operator's page,
00:03:33.160 --> 00:03:37.070
and on this page, you will then find the alphabet,
00:03:37.070 --> 00:03:38.493
the name of the operator,
00:03:38.493 --> 00:03:40.890
whatever alphabet letter it starts with.
00:03:40.890 --> 00:03:43.970
And another thing that's really good to pay attention to,
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:47.040
is when the page was last updated.
00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:49.250
That's always in the lower left hand corner
00:03:49.250 --> 00:03:51.700
of the webpage when you're there.
00:03:51.700 --> 00:03:53.080
That way you can see if you're looking
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.163
at the most recent updated schedule.
00:03:56.070 --> 00:03:57.160
So in this example,
00:03:57.160 --> 00:03:59.533
we're gonna take a look at the letter A,
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:05.070
and then the system will download a notepad document
00:04:05.070 --> 00:04:09.280
onto your computer, so you'll have to open that separately.
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.280
So in this case, the first example here is A + Investments.
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.110
It's gonna show which district their well's in,
00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:22.970
what field that's in, and also what type of well it is,
00:04:22.970 --> 00:04:24.770
in this case it's an injection well.
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:32.080
The document is very useful, for you to find your operator
00:04:32.330 --> 00:04:35.090
and to find which wells you have on schedule.
00:04:35.090 --> 00:04:37.620
And it'll also tell you important information
00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:39.880
like if there's a W-10 delinquent,
00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:42.010
like this well did at that time.
00:04:42.010 --> 00:04:45.060
It'll tell you what the allowables are.
00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:49.203
So it's full of information that is extremely useful.
00:04:50.781 --> 00:04:52.890
Next, what we're gonna do is we're going
00:04:52.890 --> 00:04:55.763
to look at the Proration Schedule by field.
00:04:56.660 --> 00:05:00.600
The field Proration Schedule is probably one
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.730
of our most popular Proration Schedule formats,
00:05:03.730 --> 00:05:06.240
for operators to look at.
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.913
And it again, will be, once you select by field,
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:13.020
you will go ahead and you will, again,
00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:16.403
select which month and year you would like to look at.
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.450
And then when you click on that, then you're going
00:05:21.450 --> 00:05:23.700
to get the Proration Schedules,
00:05:23.700 --> 00:05:27.550
broke up by gas fields, and oil fields,
00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:28.960
and then by district.
00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:31.230
And again, it's gonna have that date to see
00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:33.520
when it was updated last.
00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:38.043
So in this example, we're gonna choose gas district one,
00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:41.973
and it again, will download a notepad document.
00:05:42.990 --> 00:05:45.090
And you'll have to open it separately.
00:05:45.090 --> 00:05:49.800
So the field Proration Schedule, probably has some
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.180
of the most important information
00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:54.600
for an operator to stay in compliance.
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.960
You can always find when your, in this case,
00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:01.200
it's a gas field, so your G-10 test is required.
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:04.020
When you find the first indication of a field,
00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:06.685
in this case, we're looking at a wildcat field.
00:06:06.685 --> 00:06:11.150
This field's annual testing for the G-10 is test periods,
00:06:11.150 --> 00:06:13.610
September, October, November,
00:06:13.610 --> 00:06:16.640
due December, effective January.
00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:20.200
This information is on the Proration Schedule
00:06:20.200 --> 00:06:22.230
for every field.
00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:24.290
Another thing that you can find here is,
00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:29.290
some field remarks that the Railroad Commission has put in,
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.720
for people to understand what the field may require.
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.620
So in this case, because it's a wildcat field,
00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:39.830
wells in this field not eligible for an allowable.
00:06:39.830 --> 00:06:44.550
So this document is extremely useful, to keep yourself
00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:46.820
into compliance when it comes to your annual,
00:06:46.820 --> 00:06:49.193
or biannual testing, for your wells.
00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:55.350
That's for the gas prorations schedule.
00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:58.193
So here is the oil Proration Schedule.
00:06:59.070 --> 00:07:01.770
I apologize that my screen is a little bit blurry,
00:07:01.770 --> 00:07:05.350
but it does have the same information.
00:07:05.350 --> 00:07:09.380
This is for the Jenkins S, Clear Fork, Lower Field.
00:07:09.380 --> 00:07:12.890
Underneath this, where there's the little indicator
00:07:12.890 --> 00:07:15.470
of the stars in this case,
00:07:15.470 --> 00:07:20.040
it has when your well status report, your W-10 form,
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.680
what your test period is,
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.310
what your due date is and when your effective date is.
00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:28.970
It also lets you know what the acres are for the field,
00:07:28.970 --> 00:07:31.490
so that again, it's gonna be field information,
00:07:31.490 --> 00:07:34.223
field specific information for this field.
00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:39.417
There's also other information on the field
00:07:39.417 --> 00:07:43.510
that can be helpful for people.
00:07:43.510 --> 00:07:47.870
So this one is gonna show us that there is a operator,
00:07:47.870 --> 00:07:50.000
it's this Hub-Cap Oil Company,
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.870
but this is gonna be their leases in the field.
00:07:53.870 --> 00:07:55.780
It's gonna give you field information.
00:07:55.780 --> 00:07:59.920
There's the field number, the discovery, county,
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:04.920
and it's gonna tell you what your W-10 information is.
00:08:05.830 --> 00:08:09.410
So again, it's very full of information,
00:08:09.410 --> 00:08:13.397
for keeping yourself in compliance when it comes to tests,
00:08:13.397 --> 00:08:15.030
and when they're due,
00:08:15.030 --> 00:08:19.073
and specific field information for your wells.
00:08:20.750 --> 00:08:25.120
So now we're gonna move on to supplements.
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.084
So a supplement is a correspondence
00:08:27.084 --> 00:08:29.285
that's gonna notify the operator,
00:08:29.285 --> 00:08:33.690
the status of a well based off forms filed by the operator,
00:08:33.690 --> 00:08:37.243
and then processed by RRC staff.
00:08:40.050 --> 00:08:42.417
Receiving supplements.
00:08:42.417 --> 00:08:44.700
What's gonna cause you to receive a supplement?
00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:47.960
Changes to an allowable, will be communicated
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.970
through the oil and gas supplements
00:08:49.970 --> 00:08:51.740
as well as being reflected
00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:55.810
on the Oil and Gas Proration Schedule Listed by Operator.
00:08:55.810 --> 00:08:58.670
Supplements are generated nightly,
00:08:58.670 --> 00:09:01.960
and mailed to the address associated with the P-5
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.101
of the operator the following day.
00:09:05.101 --> 00:09:09.190
So when you get these supplements,
00:09:09.190 --> 00:09:13.230
we encourage you to review them very carefully.
00:09:13.230 --> 00:09:16.980
They communicate things to the operator that has to do
00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:18.720
with the status of the well filings,
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.196
and it also helps identify any problems
00:09:21.196 --> 00:09:24.034
with filing deficiencies.
00:09:24.034 --> 00:09:28.290
Sometimes the supplements can be a little bit confusing.
00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:30.823
So we're gonna go over how to read a supplement.
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.880
So first, if the well's in compliance, there's going
00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:39.420
to be a numeric allowable, and that'll be reflected
00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:42.060
on the supplement, which we will look at in a minute.
00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:44.230
If the well is deficient,
00:09:44.230 --> 00:09:49.230
a non-numeric allowable code will be reflected,
00:09:49.390 --> 00:09:52.261
and further action is then gonna be required.
00:09:52.261 --> 00:09:55.440
Usually there's gonna be remarks at the bottom
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.660
of the supplement to explain what information is required
00:09:58.660 --> 00:10:00.610
to obtain the allowable.
00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:03.850
Then if failure to file all necessary paperwork
00:10:03.850 --> 00:10:06.350
or required data for the assignment
00:10:06.350 --> 00:10:09.550
of a Lease/Gas ID Number will result
00:10:09.550 --> 00:10:12.130
in allowable not being assigned.
00:10:12.130 --> 00:10:13.480
So, let's take a look at
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.763
what a Gas Wells supplement looks like.
00:10:17.730 --> 00:10:19.393
So there's two here.
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.270
One of them shows a problem's been resolved.
00:10:24.270 --> 00:10:27.236
And the other one shows that there's more information that,
00:10:27.236 --> 00:10:32.236
or how we'll switch from no allowable to an allowable.
00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:35.593
So the one on the left over here shows that there is,
00:10:36.510 --> 00:10:41.430
the previous allowable was 0-W so this indicates
00:10:41.430 --> 00:10:43.610
that there were forms lacking.
00:10:43.610 --> 00:10:46.050
And in the remarks section, it's telling us
00:10:46.050 --> 00:10:50.310
that there was an engineering problem, but is now resolved.
00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:53.290
So then there's a new allowable that's been assigned,
00:10:53.290 --> 00:10:56.180
which has a numeric value.
00:10:56.180 --> 00:11:00.580
So in this case, it's showing us that it had no allowable,
00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:02.630
but now it does.
00:11:02.630 --> 00:11:07.030
So on the right hand side, it's gonna show you
00:11:07.030 --> 00:11:09.963
that the previous allowable was zero,
00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:15.330
and that the new allowable has a numeric value.
00:11:15.330 --> 00:11:17.410
So in the remarks section,
00:11:17.410 --> 00:11:20.840
it says that there is a tracking number that was filed,
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.150
and it was for the initial potential test,
00:11:23.150 --> 00:11:25.240
which gave the well an allowable.
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.530
So in this case, everything is fine too,
00:11:28.530 --> 00:11:30.380
just letting you know that your well went
00:11:30.380 --> 00:11:33.260
from zero allowable to an allowable.
00:11:33.260 --> 00:11:36.323
So, the supplement is how we communicate
00:11:36.323 --> 00:11:38.083
that to the operator.
00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:42.723
Now we have an oil allowable supplement.
00:11:44.890 --> 00:11:48.740
The supplement on the left indicates
00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:53.450
that there is a delinquent form, here, right here
00:11:53.450 --> 00:11:57.230
that shows you're allowable and it also shows
00:11:57.230 --> 00:12:00.380
that your monthly allowable's also zero.
00:12:00.380 --> 00:12:05.110
And the reason there's a delinquent form is because,
00:12:05.110 --> 00:12:09.673
we still need a W-2, with a test, to produce.
00:12:10.520 --> 00:12:14.680
We've apparently received some sort of indication
00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:16.670
that this well is unable to produce
00:12:16.670 --> 00:12:20.220
without a new W-2 filing.
00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:25.220
So, that's the communication that the operator is receiving.
00:12:25.540 --> 00:12:27.860
This one, as long as the well is non-producing,
00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:29.300
it doesn't need to do anything,
00:12:29.300 --> 00:12:32.160
until the operator wants the well to begin producing,
00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:33.780
then they need to file a W-2.
00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:39.760
So on the right hand side, this supplement is showing us
00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:44.130
that a W-10 was filed by the operator.
00:12:44.130 --> 00:12:47.260
And so now we have a daily allowable here,
00:12:47.260 --> 00:12:49.950
with the monthly allowable here for the oil,
00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:52.270
and then we also have the gas allowable here,
00:12:52.270 --> 00:12:54.830
with the monthly allowable on the other side.
00:12:54.830 --> 00:12:57.350
So in this case, nothing is needed.
00:12:57.350 --> 00:12:59.710
It is just communicating to the operator
00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:03.393
that we've received this W-10, and it has been processed.
00:13:06.430 --> 00:13:10.633
So now we're gonna move to the Online Research Queries.
00:13:11.710 --> 00:13:16.300
The online research queries allow external users
00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:20.610
to search for a variety of data available in reference
00:13:20.610 --> 00:13:23.880
to oil and gas wells in the State of Texas.
00:13:23.880 --> 00:13:27.290
This does not require you to have a online login.
00:13:27.290 --> 00:13:30.160
This information is available
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:32.693
to the public from our homepage.
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.430
Anybody can access this data.
00:13:37.430 --> 00:13:40.880
It can be consultants, operators,
00:13:40.880 --> 00:13:42.555
general public of any kind.
00:13:42.555 --> 00:13:45.113
All this data is open to the public.
00:13:46.587 --> 00:13:50.730
All of our online research queries fall under,
00:13:50.730 --> 00:13:52.880
the Data Online Research Queries
00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:54.750
that are on the right hand side of the page,
00:13:54.750 --> 00:13:56.550
under Useful Links.
00:13:56.550 --> 00:13:58.710
I always direct people to the links
00:13:58.710 --> 00:14:00.643
underneath the Commissioners pictures.
00:14:04.030 --> 00:14:06.950
Once you click the Data Online Research Queries,
00:14:06.950 --> 00:14:09.550
then you're gonna move to the actual list
00:14:09.550 --> 00:14:11.920
of different queries that are available.
00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:14.980
The first section is for oil and gas,
00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:17.730
which is the section that we'll be talking about today.
00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:22.535
And as you can see, there's many different types
00:14:22.535 --> 00:14:26.290
of research queries that are available.
00:14:26.290 --> 00:14:27.970
We will only be touching on the ones
00:14:27.970 --> 00:14:30.163
that have to do with well compliance.
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.410
But there is a lot of information available
00:14:35.410 --> 00:14:36.943
for people to research.
00:14:38.140 --> 00:14:39.727
The first one we're going
00:14:39.727 --> 00:14:42.160
to look at is the Completions Query.
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:44.630
It's used to find completion packages
00:14:44.630 --> 00:14:46.520
that were filed online.
00:14:46.520 --> 00:14:49.190
Using this query allows you to view all of the forms
00:14:49.190 --> 00:14:51.313
that were filed with a Packet.
00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:54.630
To get to that,
00:14:54.630 --> 00:14:57.320
we would go to the Data Online Research Queries,
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.073
and then we would click the Launch Application.
00:15:01.390 --> 00:15:03.440
And then on the next page, you would again,
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.543
click the Completions Query.
00:15:06.830 --> 00:15:11.500
This is gonna bring you to a search criteria.
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.990
And for our example, we're gonna go ahead
00:15:13.990 --> 00:15:17.383
and use a gas ID number, down here in the Lease Number.
00:15:18.570 --> 00:15:21.138
It is possible, if you know the tracking number
00:15:21.138 --> 00:15:23.630
of the Completion Packet that you wanna look at,
00:15:23.630 --> 00:15:25.290
you can choose that.
00:15:25.290 --> 00:15:30.290
You can also, if you want a larger amount of completions,
00:15:30.410 --> 00:15:31.750
you're trying to do some research,
00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:35.590
you can make it by district, and the purpose of filing,
00:15:35.590 --> 00:15:39.290
or gas or oil, that's what this option is.
00:15:39.290 --> 00:15:41.300
But you can also use the API number,
00:15:41.300 --> 00:15:45.120
or the drilling permit number to look up the well.
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.330
So once you enter the lease number or Gas ID number,
00:15:48.330 --> 00:15:50.053
you would click Search.
00:15:51.610 --> 00:15:56.610
Then that will bring up the results for that lease number.
00:15:57.730 --> 00:15:58.920
There is a chance
00:15:58.920 --> 00:16:02.100
that there could be more than one tracking number,
00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:05.500
and if you wanna look at the very first one,
00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:07.120
there's a submitted date,
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.218
and the date would be in order of submission.
00:16:10.218 --> 00:16:13.130
Sometimes you wanna look at the most recent filing,
00:16:13.130 --> 00:16:15.620
or maybe the oldest filing, for whatever reason,
00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:18.180
but in this case we only have one option.
00:16:18.180 --> 00:16:21.263
So we would click on the tracking number.
00:16:22.510 --> 00:16:27.230
Then that would bring us to the packet summary data,
00:16:27.230 --> 00:16:31.310
along with all the completion information that was filed.
00:16:31.310 --> 00:16:36.140
So you can always see when the completion was approved.
00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:38.260
You can also see when the completion was submitted
00:16:38.260 --> 00:16:40.130
by the operator.
00:16:40.130 --> 00:16:42.600
And then down here in this box, you're going
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:46.360
to see public comments that were left by the RRC staff,
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.720
that we wanted the public to know about,
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.723
when it came to this completion packet.
00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:58.980
All of these forms, that are here, are available to view.
00:16:59.470 --> 00:17:00.890
There are certain ones
00:17:00.890 --> 00:17:03.780
that have been certified electronically.
00:17:03.780 --> 00:17:08.380
In this case, we're gonna look at the G-1.
00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:10.470
We won't go over the details of the G-1,
00:17:10.470 --> 00:17:11.480
but I wanted to be able
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.433
to show you the format of the G-1.
00:17:15.340 --> 00:17:18.350
So when you open the G-1,
00:17:18.350 --> 00:17:21.420
it's gonna give you these four pages,
00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:25.080
it'll have public remarks, it's also going
00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:26.470
to have some parts of it
00:17:26.470 --> 00:17:29.173
that if the operator puts any remarks.
00:17:30.760 --> 00:17:33.408
So this has all the information
00:17:33.408 --> 00:17:36.990
that the operator entered into the G-1.
00:17:38.990 --> 00:17:43.103
So that's the Completion Query.
00:17:43.103 --> 00:17:48.103
Next we're gonna go over the Field Rules Query Overview.
00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:54.200
So if you are curious about
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:58.110
what the regulatory field rules are for a certain field,
00:17:58.110 --> 00:17:59.913
that's what this query is good for.
00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:04.850
So again, we're in the Data Online Research Queries,
00:18:04.850 --> 00:18:06.570
and you're gonna Launch Application,
00:18:06.570 --> 00:18:08.093
at the Field Rules query.
00:18:13.330 --> 00:18:18.010
So this is where you would, all that's
00:18:18.010 --> 00:18:22.193
on the search fields are, you can either enter the number,
00:18:24.130 --> 00:18:26.040
exactly if you know your field number,
00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:28.610
but you can also enter the beginning,
00:18:28.610 --> 00:18:29.990
in this case, this is gonna be
00:18:29.990 --> 00:18:32.370
for the Spraberry Trend Area.
00:18:32.370 --> 00:18:37.370
So you would just have to enter part of the field name,
00:18:37.860 --> 00:18:39.900
and then click Search.
00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:42.840
And then it will give you a list of all of the fields
00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:46.900
that have that beginning field name in it.
00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:50.150
So once you select it, you'll have to click
00:18:50.150 --> 00:18:53.140
on the field name and number, and turn it blue.
00:18:53.140 --> 00:18:56.140
And then you will have to click the View Field Rules button.
00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:01.740
Then that will bring up your field rules.
00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:02.573
In this case,
00:19:02.573 --> 00:19:05.337
the Spraberry Trend Area has special field rules.
00:19:05.337 --> 00:19:10.337
Here you can find out what your well spacing is,
00:19:10.860 --> 00:19:12.050
and your lease spacing,
00:19:12.050 --> 00:19:15.720
and how many acres are needed per well.
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.727
And then what the tolerance acres are.
00:19:17.727 --> 00:19:20.823
It also has a little comment section that gives you an idea
00:19:20.823 --> 00:19:22.660
of what would be needed,
00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:25.710
if you filed a completion in this field.
00:19:25.710 --> 00:19:29.530
So, it's really good to check this out.
00:19:29.530 --> 00:19:31.190
This is a good place to look to see
00:19:31.190 --> 00:19:35.300
what your field rules are, when you first think
00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:37.423
about putting a well into a certain field.
00:19:38.810 --> 00:19:42.130
So Spraberry has special field rules there.
00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:45.010
It's not under the statewide field rules anymore.
00:19:45.010 --> 00:19:47.670
So there's also a part of that page
00:19:47.670 --> 00:19:52.350
that will give you an idea of like, this is a UFT field,
00:19:52.350 --> 00:19:53.910
and then also you can look
00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:56.770
at the docket down here, it's been attached.
00:19:56.770 --> 00:19:59.240
So if you click on that, it'll take you
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.010
to the final order for the special field
00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:03.273
for that docket number.
00:20:04.457 --> 00:20:07.630
Not every field is gonna have this section,
00:20:07.630 --> 00:20:10.160
but any field that has special field rules,
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:15.160
or is a UFT field, should have information additional to,
00:20:15.964 --> 00:20:18.583
this information.
00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:22.840
This is essentially one big page it's just broke up
00:20:22.840 --> 00:20:23.693
for the slide.
00:20:29.751 --> 00:20:30.710
For the next thing I'm gonna go over,
00:20:30.710 --> 00:20:33.913
is the New Lease Build Query Overview.
00:20:35.070 --> 00:20:38.440
So the New Lease IDs Build Query allows you to search
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.720
for a newly assigned lease number
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.273
by using the following search criteria;
00:20:44.280 --> 00:20:48.320
you've got the date range for a maximum 90 days,
00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:50.700
the drilling permit number, the API number,
00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:52.620
if you wanna be well specific,
00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:55.760
plus there's the District and the County,
00:20:55.760 --> 00:20:57.753
or by field or by operator.
00:21:00.780 --> 00:21:03.340
Again, we're in the Data Online Research Query,
00:21:03.340 --> 00:21:05.363
and you wanna Launch your Application.
00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:13.234
And then, in this case, we're gonna use an API number,
00:21:13.234 --> 00:21:16.931
for our search criteria.
00:21:16.931 --> 00:21:20.810
This works really well if you're wanting to know,
00:21:20.810 --> 00:21:23.010
for a specific well,
00:21:23.010 --> 00:21:27.041
if a Lease or Gas ID number has been assigned to it yet.
00:21:27.041 --> 00:21:31.083
You would just enter your API number,
00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:35.143
and come up with these search results.
00:21:36.560 --> 00:21:41.393
It just shows you right there, right in the first line,
00:21:42.321 --> 00:21:43.154
under the RRC ID number,
00:21:43.154 --> 00:21:45.470
it tells you what your lease number is.
00:21:45.470 --> 00:21:50.470
Keep in mind in this section, if you wanna know
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:55.480
if your operator that you are doing business with, or for,
00:21:56.970 --> 00:21:59.540
if you wanna know if they have had any new Gas ID
00:21:59.540 --> 00:22:02.460
or Lease numbers built in the last 30 days,
00:22:02.460 --> 00:22:06.450
you can put their operator number in, and the date range,
00:22:06.450 --> 00:22:10.100
and it'll show you all of the Gas ID numbers
00:22:10.100 --> 00:22:14.850
and Lease numbers that have been built in that date time.
00:22:14.850 --> 00:22:19.260
So, if you've submitted completions and you're waiting
00:22:19.260 --> 00:22:21.420
for ID numbers, and you just wanna know if they,
00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:24.920
you can always check here to see if those have been approved
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:28.013
and applied to the wells yet.
00:22:32.810 --> 00:22:34.400
Another query that we have,
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.773
is the P-4 Gatherer/Purchaser Query Overview.
00:22:39.670 --> 00:22:43.070
The P-4 Gatherer/Purchaser Query provides a way
00:22:43.070 --> 00:22:44.980
to search for gatherers and purchasers
00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:48.450
by using the following search criteria;
00:22:48.450 --> 00:22:53.450
oil wells, gas wells or both, district, oil lease number,
00:22:53.550 --> 00:22:57.270
or gas well ID number, field, operator,
00:22:57.270 --> 00:22:59.010
gatherer or purchaser,
00:22:59.010 --> 00:23:02.000
or the gatherer purchaser's P-5 number,
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:07.000
or what the product is that the gatherer picks up.
00:23:07.570 --> 00:23:10.870
So, when you, again,
00:23:10.870 --> 00:23:15.870
it's in the Data Online Research Queries,
00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:19.803
and you just choose Launch Application.
00:23:22.370 --> 00:23:27.370
In this situation, we're gonna look up a gas well.
00:23:27.890 --> 00:23:29.500
Keep in mind that with gas wells,
00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:33.050
they each get their own individual ID number,
00:23:33.050 --> 00:23:35.800
so you do not need to select any other options
00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:38.500
to find out about that well.
00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:42.910
If it was an oil well, you would have to select a district.
00:23:42.910 --> 00:23:44.490
But gas wells, you don't need to.
00:23:44.490 --> 00:23:47.723
So, you just put your gas ID number, and you hit Submit.
00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:54.130
This is gonna bring up the query results
00:23:54.130 --> 00:23:56.020
for your gatherer/purchaser.
00:23:56.020 --> 00:23:59.910
But, one thing to keep in mind with our queries is that,
00:23:59.910 --> 00:24:02.470
the more you drill down on the query,
00:24:02.470 --> 00:24:04.760
the more information you can find.
00:24:04.760 --> 00:24:09.600
In this case, we're gonna select this lease number again,
00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:12.533
because it will give us more information.
00:24:14.830 --> 00:24:18.747
So now, as you can see, it has the oil
00:24:18.747 --> 00:24:21.120
and lease information at the top.
00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:24.030
And it also does show you who the gatherer
00:24:24.030 --> 00:24:27.567
and purchasers are, what the product is,
00:24:27.567 --> 00:24:32.567
and yeah, that shows you that.
00:24:32.870 --> 00:24:34.420
So then now we're gonna go ahead,
00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:38.520
and we're gonna click on the ID number again,
00:24:38.520 --> 00:24:40.390
and we're gonna get more information
00:24:40.390 --> 00:24:42.333
about the gatherers and purchasers.
00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:47.710
Here you can see that we're getting the gatherer codes.
00:24:47.710 --> 00:24:50.560
We're also getting the purchaser system code.
00:24:50.560 --> 00:24:52.870
We get a lot of calls, and people wanting to know
00:24:52.870 --> 00:24:56.020
what the purchaser system code was or is, or,
00:24:56.020 --> 00:24:57.880
so you can always look in this section
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:02.280
to see where they possibly,
00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:05.250
'cause they can have hundreds of codes,
00:25:05.250 --> 00:25:07.140
they don't usually, but they could.
00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:10.150
And so, this will help you to determine what you need
00:25:10.150 --> 00:25:13.473
to put on a P-4, or what their system codes are.
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.880
Now we're at the Proration Query Gas Overview.
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:31.180
The Gas Proration Query provides a way to search
00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:34.010
for proration data for gas wells,
00:25:34.010 --> 00:25:36.580
by using the following search criteria;
00:25:36.580 --> 00:25:41.580
you can look at District, API number, gas well ID number,
00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:47.900
well type, field type, field, and the operator.
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.110
Again, we go to the Data Online Research Queries,
00:25:53.110 --> 00:25:55.823
and you would hit Launch Application.
00:25:58.050 --> 00:26:02.960
In this case we will be using, so keep in mind,
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.975
there's a Gas Proration Schedule Query,
00:26:04.975 --> 00:26:08.060
and an Oil Proration Schedule Query.
00:26:08.060 --> 00:26:10.600
So we're gonna go over the gas one first.
00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:14.630
Again, just like with the P-4 search criteria,
00:26:14.630 --> 00:26:18.783
you only need to enter the gas ID number, and click Submit.
00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:25.430
Now you can see your gas well.
00:26:25.430 --> 00:26:28.553
It shows you the API number, the lease number,
00:26:28.553 --> 00:26:30.650
what field it's in.
00:26:30.650 --> 00:26:33.190
It also shows you how many acres have been assigned
00:26:33.190 --> 00:26:36.393
to the well, and what the allowable is.
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:43.920
Like I said, drilling down, deeper into the information,
00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:48.333
will give us more detailed information.
00:26:50.250 --> 00:26:55.250
On this next screen, we have our API number,
00:26:55.430 --> 00:26:56.570
we have our well number,
00:26:56.570 --> 00:26:58.650
we have all of our information at the top.
00:26:58.650 --> 00:27:00.480
It also has many tabs, but we're just going
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:02.250
to stick to what's down here.
00:27:02.250 --> 00:27:05.092
Something to keep in mind, if you're ever wondering,
00:27:05.092 --> 00:27:09.390
at what point in time you're looking at, right here,
00:27:09.390 --> 00:27:12.083
it tells you, this is for April, 2015.
00:27:16.040 --> 00:27:18.400
You wanna make sure that it's the most current date,
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.233
so you know exactly that,
00:27:19.233 --> 00:27:22.153
that's the most current information that we have on file.
00:27:24.100 --> 00:27:26.600
When you click the lease number again,
00:27:26.600 --> 00:27:27.490
again, we're gonna get
00:27:27.490 --> 00:27:30.930
into more well specific information.
00:27:30.930 --> 00:27:34.030
On this page is gonna tell you that it's producing
00:27:34.030 --> 00:27:36.290
what it's capable of producing,
00:27:36.290 --> 00:27:40.080
and all the well information at the top,
00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:42.710
and what your monthly allowable is,
00:27:42.710 --> 00:27:44.363
and what the top allowable is.
00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:50.370
This page is on the next slide too,
00:27:50.370 --> 00:27:52.650
it's the bottom half of the page.
00:27:52.650 --> 00:27:56.130
It'll tell you if you need to file G-10s,
00:27:56.130 --> 00:27:57.650
if they're required.
00:27:57.650 --> 00:28:00.160
And then it also, it's one of the few places
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.480
that you can find the most current G-10 that was filed,
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:05.670
for this well.
00:28:05.670 --> 00:28:08.187
So it was a survey, it tells you the test date,
00:28:08.187 --> 00:28:09.540
and the effective date,
00:28:09.540 --> 00:28:13.755
and what the information was, that was on that G-10.
00:28:13.755 --> 00:28:15.966
Like I said, the more you drill down
00:28:15.966 --> 00:28:19.733
into a well's information, the more specific it gets.
00:28:24.010 --> 00:28:27.230
The Return button will take you to the previous page,
00:28:27.230 --> 00:28:28.410
if you use your Back button,
00:28:28.410 --> 00:28:29.970
it doesn't always work in our query.
00:28:29.970 --> 00:28:32.150
So it's better if you use the Return button,
00:28:32.150 --> 00:28:34.243
if it's available on your screen.
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:41.510
Now we may wanna know what the field information is,
00:28:41.510 --> 00:28:43.030
in this situation.
00:28:43.030 --> 00:28:45.720
This well's in the Newark, East, Barnett Shale.
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.713
If you click on the field number,
00:28:49.800 --> 00:28:53.630
it will bring up your field rules and the remarks
00:28:53.630 --> 00:28:56.514
that have been left on the field.
00:28:56.514 --> 00:28:59.020
They're usually by date,
00:28:59.020 --> 00:29:01.860
this one goes all the way back to 1986, and so at the top,
00:29:01.860 --> 00:29:04.680
it would have your most current information.
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.543
It also has your special field rules here.
00:29:08.930 --> 00:29:12.160
This is actually more the bottom half of a page,
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:14.643
the top half looks like this.
00:29:16.930 --> 00:29:19.010
This would show you your field name,
00:29:19.010 --> 00:29:21.340
and your field information, your discovery county,
00:29:21.340 --> 00:29:24.763
some basic information that is on the field.
00:29:28.608 --> 00:29:33.033
Then we'll go to the oil side.
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.130
The Oil Proration Query.
00:29:40.130 --> 00:29:43.250
It provides a way for you to search for the proration data
00:29:43.250 --> 00:29:46.950
for oil wells, by using the following search criteria;
00:29:46.950 --> 00:29:51.400
district, API number, oil lease number, well type,
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.023
field type, county, field, and the operator.
00:29:58.900 --> 00:30:01.590
Again, you'll go to your Data Online Research Queries,
00:30:01.590 --> 00:30:05.370
and you'll go down to the Proration Query by Oil,
00:30:05.370 --> 00:30:07.203
and you'll Launch the Application.
00:30:09.410 --> 00:30:12.750
Like I was saying, when you are doing an oil search,
00:30:12.750 --> 00:30:17.270
you would have to put in your district also, here,
00:30:17.270 --> 00:30:18.480
and then you would also have
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.300
to put in your oil lease number.
00:30:20.300 --> 00:30:21.150
And the reason is,
00:30:21.150 --> 00:30:25.720
is because oil lease numbers are not unique,
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.190
and so you could have more than one lease
00:30:29.190 --> 00:30:31.840
with the lease number 39874.
00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:33.540
So you have to put the district in,
00:30:33.540 --> 00:30:35.020
so that it knows to look
00:30:35.020 --> 00:30:37.993
just in District 8 for that lease number.
00:30:38.890 --> 00:30:40.823
So then you'd wanna click Submit.
00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:47.413
And this will take you to the lease information.
00:30:48.270 --> 00:30:51.110
Another thing about oil leases is,
00:30:51.110 --> 00:30:55.680
it'll show you this lease has three wells on it.
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.660
So, these are three different wells.
00:30:57.660 --> 00:30:58.493
So you need to know which one
00:30:58.493 --> 00:31:00.683
that you wanna know specifics about.
00:31:01.930 --> 00:31:04.520
In this case, we're gonna look at, well number 1A,
00:31:04.520 --> 00:31:06.570
and we're gonna use the API number
00:31:06.570 --> 00:31:08.833
to review the well information.
00:31:12.620 --> 00:31:17.620
So, this oil well is on schedule in two places.
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.210
So when you're looking by API number,
00:31:21.210 --> 00:31:23.300
which is what we used to get to this screen,
00:31:23.300 --> 00:31:26.660
it's gonna show you both of the wells.
00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:31.660
This first row was on schedule first,
00:31:32.370 --> 00:31:37.370
and then it was worked over to the Spraberry field,
00:31:37.470 --> 00:31:39.410
from the Jailhouse, Fusselman.
00:31:39.410 --> 00:31:44.410
So, we've left the old well on as a partial plug.
00:31:44.540 --> 00:31:47.100
Then this well is now a producing well
00:31:47.100 --> 00:31:49.240
in the Spraberry, Trend area.
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:53.788
So if you get to this point, you can see that the well,
00:31:53.788 --> 00:31:56.700
if it's on schedule in more than one place,
00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:58.610
and so, you know if you need to follow up
00:31:58.610 --> 00:32:00.310
on your partial plug.
00:32:00.310 --> 00:32:03.680
And so, it's really got a lot of really good information.
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.720
It also tells you what the old lease number was,
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.383
and then the new lease number.
00:32:11.280 --> 00:32:15.100
When you've looked at this and you got your information
00:32:15.100 --> 00:32:16.810
that you want, you can hit Return,
00:32:16.810 --> 00:32:18.593
again, instead of the Back button.
00:32:20.450 --> 00:32:23.870
And we're back to the lease information.
00:32:23.870 --> 00:32:25.870
So we did look at the API number.
00:32:25.870 --> 00:32:28.083
Now we're gonna look at the lease number.
00:32:32.790 --> 00:32:33.810
Here's our lease.
00:32:33.810 --> 00:32:35.470
It's got more information at the top.
00:32:35.470 --> 00:32:36.830
This time we're looking
00:32:36.830 --> 00:32:39.973
at the May, 2015 oil proration schedule.
00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:44.230
And we see what the allowables are,
00:32:44.230 --> 00:32:47.313
that they're producing, how many acres each well holds.
00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:52.351
And so then we're we're gonna use the well number button,
00:32:52.351 --> 00:32:57.351
link to find out specific information on this well, 1A.
00:33:05.641 --> 00:33:09.780
This screen is gonna be well specific.
00:33:09.780 --> 00:33:12.130
It will tell you that it's a producing well,
00:33:12.130 --> 00:33:14.510
that the allowable is prorated.
00:33:14.510 --> 00:33:17.010
It's also gonna tell you where the lowest perf is,
00:33:17.010 --> 00:33:18.663
how many acres are assigned.
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:21.700
It's also where you can find out,
00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:24.820
where the last W-10 test was filed.
00:33:24.820 --> 00:33:27.810
This last test on this one was a survey.
00:33:27.810 --> 00:33:30.790
The test date was January 12th,
00:33:30.790 --> 00:33:33.040
and your effective date was February 1st.
00:33:33.040 --> 00:33:36.480
It'll tell you what the producing method is.
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.670
So this is well specific.
00:33:39.670 --> 00:33:42.440
You can get some very detailed information, if you,
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:46.633
like I said, you keep drilling down by well information.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:50.290
Again, we're gonna hit the Return button.
00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:55.360
And we're gonna take a look
00:33:55.360 --> 00:33:59.463
at how the field information looks on this one.
00:34:06.350 --> 00:34:09.380
Here's the field rules for the Spraberry Trend area.
00:34:09.380 --> 00:34:11.508
It gives you the information,
00:34:11.508 --> 00:34:14.596
the special field rules information,
00:34:14.596 --> 00:34:17.230
like if we looked it up in the field.
00:34:17.230 --> 00:34:20.640
It looks like there's a little bit more information here,
00:34:20.640 --> 00:34:22.413
like the allocation formula.
00:34:24.725 --> 00:34:26.330
But it still gives you your least spacing,
00:34:26.330 --> 00:34:29.453
and your well spacing, and acres per well.
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.533
Again, we're gonna hit the return button.
00:34:38.470 --> 00:34:43.470
When we were looking at the the completions query,
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:46.110
we just looked at a gas well.
00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:48.450
Here I'm gonna show you how you can go
00:34:48.450 --> 00:34:52.680
from looking at the Proration Schedule Query,
00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:55.480
to the completion for a W-2.
00:34:56.647 --> 00:35:00.240
As you can see, all of these wells have a dropdown,
00:35:00.240 --> 00:35:01.433
right next to them.
00:35:05.063 --> 00:35:07.840
If you just click on Completion,
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:10.850
it'll automatically take you
00:35:10.850 --> 00:35:13.160
to the completion queries result.
00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:16.870
So this well has two results,
00:35:16.870 --> 00:35:20.810
one tracking number here, and one here, and as you can see,
00:35:20.810 --> 00:35:24.550
one was submitted before the second one.
00:35:24.550 --> 00:35:28.060
So there is a date order, if you wanna look at,
00:35:28.060 --> 00:35:29.250
which one you wanna look at.
00:35:29.250 --> 00:35:31.690
So we're gonna take a look at the first filing,
00:35:31.690 --> 00:35:32.683
for this well.
00:35:36.040 --> 00:35:38.740
Now we're looking at the completion
00:35:39.660 --> 00:35:43.610
for this W-2 instead of a G-1.
00:35:43.610 --> 00:35:47.460
And so you can view the report here, again,
00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:49.040
no public comments on this one,
00:35:49.040 --> 00:35:51.260
but you have all of these different reports
00:35:51.260 --> 00:35:53.460
that you can review.
00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:55.770
So if you click the view report here,
00:35:55.770 --> 00:35:57.250
it'll take you to the W-2.
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:01.580
It looks similar to the G-1.
00:36:01.580 --> 00:36:04.860
It has all of the data entered by the operator
00:36:06.600 --> 00:36:08.993
that is on the W-2 form.
00:36:17.690 --> 00:36:19.133
The Severance Query.
00:36:20.250 --> 00:36:23.510
The Severance Query provides a way to search for wells
00:36:23.510 --> 00:36:27.580
on severed leases, by using the following criteria;
00:36:27.580 --> 00:36:31.370
you can look it up by oil wells, gas wells, or both.
00:36:31.370 --> 00:36:34.330
By the district, by the oil lease number,
00:36:34.330 --> 00:36:39.330
or gas well ID number, by the field, by operator,
00:36:42.100 --> 00:36:47.100
used by RRC Oil and Gas section, severance reason,
00:36:48.200 --> 00:36:53.000
certified letter date, severance category, current,
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.060
historical, or both.
00:36:55.060 --> 00:36:57.160
So this is a very important query
00:36:57.160 --> 00:36:59.182
for operators to use, to find out,
00:36:59.182 --> 00:37:03.130
if they think they maybe have missed a letter from us,
00:37:03.130 --> 00:37:05.213
this is always updated.
00:37:06.630 --> 00:37:10.328
That way it helps operators stay in compliance,
00:37:10.328 --> 00:37:13.253
if they review this often.
00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:19.610
So again, you'll go to the Severance Query,
00:37:19.610 --> 00:37:21.830
in the Data Online Research Queries,
00:37:21.830 --> 00:37:24.673
and you'll select Launch Application.
00:37:27.130 --> 00:37:30.710
And then you'll have the search criteria
00:37:30.710 --> 00:37:32.693
for your Severance Queries.
00:37:34.490 --> 00:37:39.490
The most encompassing way for you to review, if you,
00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:43.380
as an operator, have any leases that are coming up
00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:45.360
for severance, or have severed,
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:47.803
you'd wanna search by operator.
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.840
You can use the operator number,
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:58.090
or you can use the name of the operator.
00:37:58.090 --> 00:37:59.660
And when you click Search,
00:37:59.660 --> 00:38:04.660
it will put the operator name in this box, on the left.
00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:09.680
You have to make that selection, it'll turn it gray.
00:38:10.640 --> 00:38:12.610
And then you have to click the Add button,
00:38:12.610 --> 00:38:17.420
so that it reflects over here in the operator selection box.
00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:19.600
Then you click the Submit button.
00:38:19.600 --> 00:38:22.610
If you don't select this and hit add,
00:38:22.610 --> 00:38:23.760
and put it in over here,
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:25.300
it will not come up with any results.
00:38:25.300 --> 00:38:27.450
So make sure that you don't skip that step.
00:38:28.730 --> 00:38:30.883
Then you will hit the Submit button.
00:38:34.290 --> 00:38:38.150
Another way to make sure that you're seeing all
00:38:38.150 --> 00:38:42.320
of your active severances or certified letters,
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.663
you wanna do outstanding all,
00:38:45.590 --> 00:38:48.610
on the Severance/Seal category.
00:38:48.610 --> 00:38:51.564
You will leave everything else blank, in this situation.
00:38:51.564 --> 00:38:54.950
You would just choose your operator, and Outstanding All,
00:38:54.950 --> 00:38:57.910
this is a dropdown box, and you have these three options,
00:38:57.910 --> 00:39:01.023
you wanna use the Outstanding All and click Submit.
00:39:06.720 --> 00:39:08.870
For the example that was chosen,
00:39:08.870 --> 00:39:12.083
this operator has 14 results.
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.030
Keep in mind that Outstanding All,
00:39:15.030 --> 00:39:17.560
doesn't mean that they have 14 severances.
00:39:17.560 --> 00:39:19.570
It can mean that they have a mixture
00:39:19.570 --> 00:39:22.440
of severances and certified letters.
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:23.913
It's gonna bring up both.
00:39:26.173 --> 00:39:29.520
Again, drilling down gives us more information.
00:39:29.520 --> 00:39:34.443
So we're gonna be using the example of this oil lease 11119.
00:39:37.270 --> 00:39:38.600
You just click on the link,
00:39:38.600 --> 00:39:40.323
and it takes you to the next page.
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:44.880
And again, you will click on the lease number again,
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:46.733
to bring up the next page.
00:39:48.780 --> 00:39:52.397
So this shows all the severance issues
00:39:54.870 --> 00:39:56.480
that have been on this lease.
00:39:56.480 --> 00:40:01.090
So if you need to just take all of this information,
00:40:01.090 --> 00:40:02.470
you can hit the Download button,
00:40:02.470 --> 00:40:05.510
and it'll put it into an Excel spreadsheet for you.
00:40:05.510 --> 00:40:07.170
But, let me go over a little bit
00:40:07.170 --> 00:40:10.201
about this page and how to read it.
00:40:10.201 --> 00:40:12.359
These column headers are probably one
00:40:12.359 --> 00:40:15.810
of the most important things on this page,
00:40:15.810 --> 00:40:19.320
because it kind of looks confusing,
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.770
if you don't understand what all the columns stand for.
00:40:22.770 --> 00:40:25.760
So we'll do the first row.
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:30.360
This severance, or this issue has been sent out
00:40:31.940 --> 00:40:33.940
by the production department.
00:40:33.940 --> 00:40:37.290
And this is the reason they sent it out.
00:40:37.290 --> 00:40:42.290
So, on 5/22 of 2008, a certified letter was issued.
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:48.830
So in 30 days, the operator did not respond
00:40:48.830 --> 00:40:51.580
or resolve the issue for the certified letter,
00:40:51.580 --> 00:40:53.283
so then the lease was severed.
00:40:55.620 --> 00:40:58.510
When this slideshow is made,
00:40:58.510 --> 00:41:00.250
the violation hadn't been resolved.
00:41:00.250 --> 00:41:03.100
So they're still severed, for this issue,
00:41:03.100 --> 00:41:05.060
and no fee has been paid.
00:41:05.060 --> 00:41:07.540
But, if you go down one line, you can see
00:41:07.540 --> 00:41:12.051
that when P-5 issued a certified letter,
00:41:12.051 --> 00:41:16.380
they resolved the issue on 3/10.
00:41:16.380 --> 00:41:20.443
So the date gets put in the resolved column.
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.380
If there is a date in the resolved column,
00:41:24.380 --> 00:41:26.810
that means that, that issue has been taken care of
00:41:26.810 --> 00:41:27.760
by the operator,
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:31.132
and that the Railroad Commission has recognized that,
00:41:31.132 --> 00:41:32.582
that issue has been resolved.
00:41:33.538 --> 00:41:36.430
That is a good indicator of,
00:41:36.430 --> 00:41:38.420
which issues on your severance listing,
00:41:38.420 --> 00:41:40.823
that you need to worry about, per lease.
00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:43.760
Another thing that can be an issue is,
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.140
even if there's a resolve date, if there's no...
00:41:47.140 --> 00:41:49.760
like down here, here's a resolve date,
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.720
but apparently they didn't pay their severance fee.
00:41:52.720 --> 00:41:57.200
So his would still be a severed lease,
00:41:57.200 --> 00:42:00.100
until they pay the fee.
00:42:00.100 --> 00:42:02.680
So up here, on the top of this,
00:42:02.680 --> 00:42:06.063
you will see that there is a amount due.
00:42:06.910 --> 00:42:08.710
Unless this shows zero,
00:42:08.710 --> 00:42:11.750
and all of these dates are filled in,
00:42:11.750 --> 00:42:13.653
this lease is still severed.
00:42:15.298 --> 00:42:19.100
Something to keep in mind, when you go to look
00:42:19.100 --> 00:42:20.380
at your severance listing,
00:42:20.380 --> 00:42:23.870
you might see this date is all filled in,
00:42:23.870 --> 00:42:26.970
but if these say no, if your fee received says no,
00:42:26.970 --> 00:42:30.393
then the issue is still not resolved.
00:42:30.393 --> 00:42:32.333
Something to keep in mind.
00:42:36.930 --> 00:42:41.500
For severances, the P-4 will not be reissued unless
00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:44.570
that $750 severance fee is paid.
00:42:44.570 --> 00:42:47.323
If severed, it is unlawful for the operator
00:42:47.323 --> 00:42:51.970
to use a well for production, injection, or disposal,
00:42:51.970 --> 00:42:56.440
or for a gatherer to transport oil or gas from the lease.
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:59.070
The commission may impose an administrative penalty
00:42:59.070 --> 00:43:02.503
of up to $10,000 for each of those violations.
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.800
So for the one that says for gatherer to transport oil
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:07.790
or gas from the lease,
00:43:07.790 --> 00:43:10.270
even if you are not producing the lease anymore,
00:43:10.270 --> 00:43:12.890
because you're severed and you've shut everything in,
00:43:12.890 --> 00:43:14.640
they are not allowed to come and pick up oil
00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:18.563
from your tanks because that lease as a whole is severed.
00:43:25.020 --> 00:43:30.020
For the reconnect process for severances is,
00:43:32.020 --> 00:43:35.660
the payments can be made in person by mail or by phone.
00:43:35.660 --> 00:43:36.890
But I am gonna have to say,
00:43:36.890 --> 00:43:38.485
that in-person is probably not
00:43:38.485 --> 00:43:40.990
how it's being handled right now,
00:43:40.990 --> 00:43:44.873
due to the limited access to our Central Records Department.
00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:49.130
But by phone or by mail is certainly acceptable.
00:43:49.130 --> 00:43:52.660
And you would be calling our Central Fees Department,
00:43:52.660 --> 00:43:54.523
at 512-463-6882.
00:43:55.990 --> 00:43:59.440
And they do credit card payments over the phone.
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:01.520
Or you can pay by check,
00:44:01.520 --> 00:44:03.634
and send it to the Austin office,
00:44:03.634 --> 00:44:07.190
payable to the Railroad Commission of Texas,
00:44:07.190 --> 00:44:10.853
with the attention of Central Fees.
00:44:11.810 --> 00:44:14.890
So I know that this was supposed to be a whole hour,
00:44:14.890 --> 00:44:16.510
but I'm actually done.
00:44:16.510 --> 00:44:18.770
I just have our contacts page.
00:44:18.770 --> 00:44:23.460
So if you have any questions that are for Well Compliance,
00:44:23.460 --> 00:44:25.330
you can call our General Q number,
00:44:25.330 --> 00:44:28.203
which is 512-463-6975.
00:44:29.100 --> 00:44:32.060
There is a fax number on this presentation,
00:44:32.060 --> 00:44:33.900
but I'm pretty sure we don't have access
00:44:33.900 --> 00:44:35.323
to a fax machine anymore.
00:44:37.030 --> 00:44:39.075
But we do have the email,
00:44:39.075 --> 00:44:43.570
the Proration Unit email @rrc.texas.gov.
00:44:43.570 --> 00:44:48.013
And we can of course take scanned documents that way.
00:44:49.506 --> 00:44:50.460
So that's it.
00:44:50.460 --> 00:44:52.023
Was there any questions?
00:44:55.570 --> 00:44:58.380
Trisha, there's only one question remaining,
00:44:58.380 --> 00:44:59.830
and unfortunately,
00:44:59.830 --> 00:45:02.230
it's not actually a question for our department.
00:45:04.580 --> 00:45:07.550
The question is what credit cards do you accept?
00:45:07.550 --> 00:45:10.660
Oh yes, I would call the Central Fees Department
00:45:10.660 --> 00:45:15.380
and ask them that question, because they're the ones
00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:17.890
that handle the money in that situation.
00:45:17.890 --> 00:45:22.133
So you can call the 512-463-6882 and ask them.
00:45:28.550 --> 00:45:31.633
I'm not seeing any new questions being asked.
00:45:33.010 --> 00:45:35.430
We'll leave it for just a little bit longer.
00:45:35.430 --> 00:45:36.263
Okay.
00:45:47.990 --> 00:45:50.683
I do wanna thank everybody for joining me today.
00:45:56.490 --> 00:45:59.160
We do actually have two new questions.
00:45:59.160 --> 00:46:01.810
Actually there just comments Trisha, for you.
00:46:01.810 --> 00:46:03.537
Thank you guys.
00:46:03.537 --> 00:46:06.310
There's a "Thank you."
00:46:06.310 --> 00:46:07.930
A "Very good presentation."
00:46:07.930 --> 00:46:10.290
And then "A great presentation, thank you."
00:46:10.290 --> 00:46:12.652
Oh, well, thank you for coming.
00:46:12.652 --> 00:46:14.220
And with that, I guess we'll wrap it up.
00:46:14.220 --> 00:46:15.800
This concludes our webinar.
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:19.293
Thank you all so much for attending and participating.
