I’m currently in the Delaware basin, straddling TX and NM.
We have six rigs running.
It’s also pouring rain to the point the 100 year arroyo has flowing water in it. Happy to be on a high point because we’re going to be here a while. I wondered why the rancher had us lay shallow rows of rocks pulled up from pipeline construction. I’m even a rancher and figured he was wasting his time, but it was cheaper for us than hauling them off. He’ll have a couple of sections (square miles) of shallow standing water that will sink in and give him a nice winter crop of volunteer hay.
How come Red Bluff ain’t filling up? Rain didn’t fall over the Pecos?
Delaware/Permian ... YES, please!!
“volunteer hay” — interesting. Livestock feed? Is there enough seed in the ground from previous harvests? Isn’t the hay mown before going to seed?
