"Looked at ENVERUS - lots of historical Hosston vertical production in this area / the term "Hosston" or "Hoss' tends to be in the well / unit name.
Aside from that, approximate formation tops here are:

James @…"

"Looks like a great lease for that time period.
I will be looking at location and responding later.
I am no SONRIS experts - I live off ENVERUS (pay site) which is easy to find permits new or old.
CV or Hosston well depends obviously on depth - and…"

"Thanks Skip and Rock Man for responding.
Yes, Chesapeake has reached out for a new lease for the CV and Hosston zones. I have no idea if these are to be vertical or horizontal but our attorney suggested limiting them to existing pad sites. This…"

We inherited this well and fortunately there was a “Pugh clause” which forced them to do a new lease for those zones. I guess they are getting better at extracting the “tight natgas”.
Anyone else run into this?
Any idea what the current market rates are for these zones?
Thanks in advance!
