Austin Chalk Rapides Parish

This is my first post as a newbie. Hello to all and glad to be here. I have a small interest in Wilcox production here in Rapides Parish so I am aware of what some are doing here and one project that interests me and may interest some of you is the reentry that Addison Oil is doing or has done on their Murray 1-a, section 29 1N  2W, serial #217726.  It is a  Chalk well that I think was the discovery well for the field. Operations have ceased and all conections are complete. They had a decent flare while testing but so far nothing published. Shut in with 8k psi.

It looks to me that reentries may be a cheap way to grab some Chalk Oil.

I haven't any working knowledge of these type wells and am wondering what casing requirements are necessary. Would a 7 5/8   23#  cased hole to 11300' be a viable candidate?  

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Could even probably drill a lateral out of 7 5/8.

Thanks for the reply Joe, I am thinking about using a well I have in an undrilled Chalk unit in Rapides. Wasn't real interested a year ago but now I may be able to build some interest. Any experience or data on vertical  Chalk wells in the area?

No, that's out of my area of interest. Go to Sonris and access the Well History by parish. They have EVERY well ever drilled in the parish listed. Good Luck...........

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…
