On 6/30/11 Petrohawk filed for two Haynesville Units in the Cedar Grove Field that each consisted of one-half of two sections. This has resulted in units that are one-half mile wide but two miles tall. Petrohawk did not provide a reason for this approach but it would allow super-long laterals for horizontal wells. I have attached the application.
S11/14E-T17N-R13W, HA RA SUY Unit, Petrohawk, Cedar Grove Field, Bossier Parish

Curious,
My guess is that is has to do with the number of potentially viable drilling locations. Looks like where ever they drill these from its going to be a squeeze.
Bobi, I assume you mean drill the development wells from the Dickinson surface location. This would be highly probable given the challenges with finding a surface location in this area. It is within the technical and rig capabilities to drill the extended reach laterals from that location.
This was probable the reason for the two stand-up 640 acre units since they would not have been able to develop the acreage with the typical square units. This is similar to the reason for the large units that extend below the Toledo Bend Reservoir.

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
