No significance. Wanted to see all the section in vertical. Ultimate lateral orientation allowed us to permit a longer lateral and stay within field rules.

Bill,

After reviewing cores and studying the brown dense what are your realistic hopes for this well? 200bopd? 300bopd? How do the brown dense cores compare to the Eagleford or Barnett? Is the TOC% high? Will this well potentially be the spark that starts off a new play in the brown dense or on the other end kills the play? If you don't want to answer any of these questions then I understand, but I didn't think it would hurt to ask.

Thanks

I am beginning to believe that no geologist's hopes are ever realistic...sometimes by God's grace it works out better than you deserve! I haven't personally studied the Eagleford or Barnett but from what I've read the lower Smackover is a different cat. Our well is of interest but I don't think this one well will make or break the play. It's just another piece of the puzzle.

The most important difference is that the Smackover is a carbonate (limestone) whereas the Eagleford and Barnett are "shales". That one difference affects all kinds of factors including drilling and completing. Nobody knows if the lower Smackover will be commercial. There's just not enough information. There have been some huge reserve numbers assigned to the Eagleford and Haynesville but It remains to be seen how good they'll untimately be. The Barnett is more mature and therefore proven.

Thanks for your reply. I'll just be happy for now knowing that at least your company is willing to invest several million to see if this thing will produce. That's a start.

Bill,

Very astutely said. But, we are always optimistic. Certainly this one well will not make or break this play. Just another piece of the puzzle as we know all geologic observations to be. Its up to the geologist to put the pieces together.
At this point I don't think enough information is available to realisticly compare brown dense to any other formations out there.

Are you familiar with Camterra's evaluation efforts in lower Smackover (brown dense ?) in North Shongaloo-Red Rock Field a few years back. I think it was Mckinney well. It was in S10, T23N, R9W. Well was drilled and completed as Smackover "C". They spent quite a few $ evaluating section below "C" zone. Have you ever heard of Smackover "D" in reference to basal Smackover? I seem to have vague and distant memory of such. Currently "D" zone is used to designate "B" and "C" zones when they are comingled. I own WI in wells in S10 where we are co-mingling "B" and "C"

Hey Bill,
Are you guys going to move the rig over to the new location as soon as they finish this one.Is this well a go if the AOGC appoves your application or are they going to wait for results of the first well.Thanks and Good Luck!!

Hey Bill,
Have they made the turn yet? If so,how far have they drilled?
Thanks

Please, somebody give us an update!

Tony,
We are drilling our lateral but we still have a ways to go. Once the lateral is complete it will take some time to evaluate the information from the well. The process just takes time.

Bill,

I see you have a short term permit for two 500 bbl tanks. Is this a just in case you need them or do you think the tanks will be needed?

How long does it take to drill this far horizonal? I have minerals in the county, so I am curious whether we will know something in 3 weeks or 3 months.
