Actually, there is one of our colleagues here on the site that does have a car dealership in the area. Looks like he'll score multiple-times, once with his minerals and then again with all of the vehicles he's gonna sell to the rest of us!

Heck... I'm already considering the 2010 Cabela's F350 Crew Cab 4X4..... be nice if my share of a couple of these wells would pay for it, wouldn't it?

I just want to retire from teaching......before I die in the classroom from frustration and overwork.......teaching is changing daily......is getting unbearable. Was told about 2 years ago that I would be able to retire by now... I'm making plans to retire at the end of this year.....I'm thinking positive that XTO Energy will get going like Devon.
By the way, my property is in the C.C. Tutt Survey in Shelby County.

So, Devon has submitted a permit revision today on this well with the RRC:

http://webapps.rrc.state.tx.us/DP/drillDownQueryAction.do?fromPubli...

"Amend to add additional field for completion"

Then lists

Wildcat/Bossierville Bossier Shale

Interesting.....

Very interesting amendment. what are the implications?

I thought this was a Haynesville test, not a Bossier shale?

Thanks if anyone can enlighten me!

The Bossier is the Haynesville in Texas

OK, thanks. On some of the plats in presentations by these companies I thought they split the two - the Bossier was just above the Haynesville on their chart.

I thought this filing meant they might be trying to 'dual complete' or 'dual drill' or the like. Thanks for the infor.

Interesting, here are Crimson's comments on what they found:

In addition to the Haynesville Shale formation, the well encountered a thick Mid-Bossier Shale interval with characteristics similar to known Haynesville and Mid-Bossier completions in East Texas and Louisiana. The Mid-Bossier represents significant additional potential to Crimson’s leasehold position in the southern portion of the East Texas Haynesville Play. The Kardell #1H also encountered hydrocarbon shows in the shallower Knowles Lime, Pettet, and James Lime formations, each of which are being evaluated for future drilling activity.

Checkmate:

Here's the W-1 Filing for the well with the RRC:

http://webapps.rrc.state.tx.us/dpimages/img/700000-799999//PR000072...

They are listing 2 formations on seperate lines of the Field Information section:

1) Wildcat
2) Bossierville/Bossier Shale

Do you read this that they have two seperate targets or, perhaps, is it just clarifying things now to signify that the "Wildcat" formation of the original permit turned out to be the Bossier?

Just trying to get a handle on how these things are done.

Thanks.

What does a Wildcat Well mean?
Saw in the Tyler Newspaper today, November 8th (Developmental Well Section) :
XTO Energy will drill the Roadrunners DU Well No. 1H to 14,000 feet 8.4 miles Southeast of Center in a wildcat field in the C.Tutt Survey, A-726, Shelby County.

Does anyone have any idea where this well is located?
Is it any where near the Buckner/Smith well in the C.Tutt Survey, A-726?

Howdy,

There has been some previous chatter regarding this well at the following discussion:

http://www.gohaynesvilleshale.com/group/shelbycounty/forum/topics/n...

If you click on the W-1 permit link in the above discussion, you can then follow the Map It link and the Railroad Commission's GIS site will show you the exact location of the well.

LOFGT, it just means a target formation that is not part of an assigned field. Its use is very inconsistent as in some cases the so called "wildcat field" target is actually a known field target but the operator just doesn't identify in the permit.

This was my understanding as well. Very close in depth, but two distinct stratus.
