July 6Jul 6 I always laugh when people outside of the industry think O&G employees are getting dirty, stinking rich from black gold. It’s probably because field meatheads blow their paychecks on F250s and bass boats. As the Beverly Hillbillies so eloquently demonstrated 60 years ago, the mineral owners are the people making serious money. And hey, good for them. @Armybrat I think if you feel comfortable enough to share your W2, then you can probably tell us who your operator is. Just curious on who’s still up there and doing well.

July 10Jul 10 Army Brat, I hope your kids & grandkids are super nice to you. I know you’ve mentioned it before, but Do you have other family member getting checks also, or just you? How many acres was it? Any idea what the production was for the year y’all are getting paid off of? Enjoy it.

This a good start. Locals have been bitching for years that the prairie chicken wasn’t even endangered.
August 20Aug 20 Any seriously good recs on the attorney front to deal with XTO and some substantial $s in my grandmother's estate? She died 20 plus years ago and they've received all paperwork. Calls/email inquiries are not being responded to with anything helpful by XTO. I need the Oil & Gas version of Saul Goodman.

I assume we’re talking probate and division orders. Are they being slow to process the transfer or they ignoring you? If they’re ignoring you, I would ask a surly attorney to write a demand letter on their letterhead for a flat fee I know a partner a Steptoe that’s licensed to practice law in every oil and gas producing state in the US. I’d imagine his retainer would be in the $5k range.

Were your communications with them as lacking in detail as this post??? What do you mean by money in your grandma's estate? Who's name is the interest currently in? The lack of detail is tied directly to the thought that I'm not sure what is and what is not safe to post on a message board. Of course, there's a lot more detail when dealing with XTO, but that is ineffective as their firewalls prevent any real conversation with exchanges of real, useful information from occurring. The logical next step seems to be sharing that detailed information with an experienced attorney who can take the details, decipher what's known, and break through XTO's gatekeeping system to get some movement on the matter. Certainly that's enough information to get to the, "I might know a guy..." level. No? Edited August 20Aug 20 by Cajun

This comes just weeks SilverBow turned down Kimmeridge's latest unsolicited offer to buy the company. Crescent will now be the #2 operator in the Eagle Ford. Crescent makes its 2nd big acquisition in the past 18 months, buying Vital Energy for $3.1B. Surprising move b/c Crescent is primarily an EF operator, while Vital is a pure Permian play.

I would be shocked if there isn't another one in the next 6-9 months.
September 4Sep 4 Hope nobody is hit by the ConocoPhillips layoffs, 25% layoffs while paying out dividends and buying back shares is a real raw deal. Bartlesville is gonna be even more of a ghost town, Price tower with its weird triangle rooms may not have much longer for this world

Could be looking to reduce their exposure in unfriendly places. They cut Marathon to the bone, so this isn’t a redundancies thing. COP is probably reducing headcount to bankroll the acquisition.

September 17Sep 17 I was at a Haynes and Boone breakfast last week and the Wood Mac speaker was very bullish on it as well.
