Just a guess but it appears to be to shallow for Austin Chalk.  In Pointe Coupee the Austin Chalk is down around 16,000 feet.  Check out North Bayou Jack Field in Avoyelles Parish, that is Austin Chalk.  Also some comment about leasing around Zachary which is pretty far south of you.  However, the Chalk covers a lot of territory.

 

Good luck,

Chip,

The Austin Chalk shows at 13,100 ft in the Warren T Price well just North of the Devon - Lane well that's drilling now. As you go East the formation rises and all of this is above the shelf. The Chalk in North Bayou Jack is below the shelf so it would be much deeper. I'm pretty sure this is a Chalk well.

I thought the Warren T Price well was the same one as Devon Lane/ethel well on La. 955...

No, Its a mile North of the Lane well.

I didn't realize that. I've heard a lot about the Lane well, and visited it several times, but I don't anything about Price. Have they started drilling?

WM,

The WTP well was drilled back in 1979 as a Tuscaloosa. well. The Tusc was watered out or is watered in. No gas. So back then that's all they had on there minds - Gas from TUSC. I think Devon used the basic info from that well and decided that area looked very good to take look at for TMS.

Well that is good news.  That means you have a better opportunity that exploration outfits will drill in your area.
