Below the Haynesville is the Buckner Anhydrite (calcium formation), then the Smackover (limestone & dolomite), then the Norphlet (red shale & sand stone), then the Louann Salt, then the Werner Anhydrite, then the Eagle Mills (limestone & red shale).  All are from the Jurassic.  The Buckner may be pinched out.  The Louann Salt can be plastic (flows).  I know of no Smackover wells in the Panola Co. area, but I know of at least one very old Louann Salt well in Nacogdoches Co.

Old Mud Engineer,

 

It's good to hear from someone with lots of work experience in the "field."   Thanks for sharing!!!

Tommy, I agree.  I do not remember any Smackover wells in Panola or Harrison County.  Like myself, you probably did some work in the Smackover play in the 80's in Upshur County.

This new and exciting deposit is known as the "Shalemary" formation.   Or sometimes the "Shalemary-Fullagrayse" formation.

 

It will produce a lot of gas and oil, but you have to believe in it in order for it to work. 

 

It also produces clean, drinkable natural spring water with a healthy mix of natural minerals. 

The gas and oil produced actually remove carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the atmosphere when burned. 

Instead of using toxic chemicals, you frac the wells using 100% organic chicken soup. 

The solid material produced from the drilling process is non toxic and contains a high concentration of gold dust and diamonds.

Instead of having a high decline rate like the Haynesville Shale, the Shalemary formation actually produces more oil and gas the longer you use the well.

Hey, I hope there is something down there.  Of course, the quarterback throwing the last minute pass is hoping, too.

There are a large number of Haynesville horizontal wells that have drilled to the Smackover and then "plugged back" to a shallower Haynesville depth to "kick off" the lateral. These wells are not testing the Smackover. If they were they would be drilling deep into the Smackover which they are not as can be determined by the formation depth portion of the state completion reports (bottom of the second page). The verticals on the wells I have reviewed penetrate 50 to 100' of Smackover in order to confirm that the wellbore had penetrated the entire extent of the Haynesville zone.

Not yet, Linda. Hauled fire wood in the afternoon and gazed at a beautiful night sky. It was a crystal clear night and the winter sky was ablaze with stars. I'll go fishing today.

Ahhhhh, so you are a star gazer too!!!!   One of the things I love best is sitting outside looking up at the sky.  If you just sit still long enough you see all sorts of amazing things!!!!!
