We Have a Name!

According to an April 19 article in the Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin, we are in the Cline Shale play. I kept running across the organization Devon in my research, and the information imparted by the author reinforces my idea that they are the big guys behind the recent leasing activity in Fisher County. Check out the Fisher County Oil & Gas Discussion on the Mineral Rights Forum website for more information. Also take a look at the Cline Shale discussion on the same site. Thanks to all the contributors there for enlightening us and also to the excellent oilfield journalists.

PB Oil & Gas Publishes Fisher County Article

RPQRR Rig

It's no secret, among neighbors, that everyone who owns mineral rights in Fisher County has been hit up for leasing or buying of said minerals. Rumors I've heard have offers ranging from $200 to $750 on the leases. No one I've talked to has had concrete information about what's going on, but today I ran across this article in The Permian Basin Petroleum Association Magazine:

Fisher County - A Quiet Little Boom, for Now.

Thank you, Moana Howard, for enlightening us.

The photo is a rig on the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch, off FM 611. Word is that six other sites have been staked off in this location.

Tech Stuff: Smart Fortress 2012 Malware

It's been a while since I've had problems with the computer, but today I had one of those pop-up malware thingies that mimics your virus protection program. When I tried to open a file, program or browser, the rogue app would tell me it was infected and would prevent it from opening. I guess it's a scam deal, too, and they're trying to trick you into paying money for Smart Fortress 2012. I told my boy about it and he said "Look it up on YouTube!" So, I did and thanks to a video by Britec, I made short work of that piece of crud bug in my machine. I was also introduced to a few new and useful apps, one of which I will be keeping, Malwarebytes. It was nice to get rid of the problem in ten minutes instead of two weeks. I still have mixed up files from the virus I had in my computer three years ago. There's that ghost in the machine, again.
