Messenger Well

When did they release the test results on this well? Looks like a good vertical.

You are calling this well a vertical Haynesville and you may be right, but it looks like a horizontal Haynesville with a short lateral to me. I've asked my friend, Jay, to clarify the matter . I agree with you, though, the DST looks good at this point.

My friend, Jay, says you are right and I am wrong. It is a vertical Haynesville and a good one at that.

SB, yes this was a vertical well drilled to 14,100' TD

Les B, have you seen the log on this well?

SB, no but I think Jay (ShaleGeo) has.

Would love for someone to obtain the shale thickness info from Jay or someone else and post it on this thread.

I think Jay posted this info some time back. I can't remember the details, but he said it looked favorable.

FOTY, Jay had previously stated the net thickness was similar to the Red River Parish wells. That should be ~ 150 ft.

While I was trying to learn "Well Log Reading 101" from Jay, I am not confident enough to give a definite interpretation. However, for those who are more familiar with well logs, maybe they can give more detail.

Here is a image file of deeper depth of the Paul E Messenger well.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
