Lefty, I just returned from Bakersfield (I live in the mtns.
about 35 mi. to the East) and I was able to stop in at the TRI
Valley Office and Inquire about the 500 acres.
After explaining the purpose of my visit, Lynn came out and
talked to me. I asked where the 500 acre parcel was in
relation to the to the Opus 700 acres. I had map 456 with me
and he indicated that TIV 500 acres adjoin the NW corner of the
700 -- which would put it in section 25 (and possibly part
of 26) on map 406. Since I did not have map 406 with me, I can't be more precise.
We chatted about 15-20 minutes about mutual acquaintances
and associates in the business, Aera, Sunrise, Ekho, Tulare/ Etchegoin production, vertical versus horizontal drilling and
new technology TIV is looking at. Not wanting to overstay my
drop-in visit, I didn't get into the rig question.
I don't want to be more specific because of concern that
the imbecile faction on the other list will twist what I
say out of all proportion. However if you want to PM me
(can you do that from this list?) I can fill you in
a bit more on info relevant to some of the topics recently
discussed here.
