Interesting Les! Given the HA well"s vertical depths of ~12,500', what depth would you guess the proposed BO wells to be?  Also, how wide is a typical HA frac? I assume the depth and spacing is enough that the two formations will not be co-mingled. Any thoughts?

BD, typically the targeted Bossier Shale formation (Mid-Bossier Shale) would be ~ 1000 ft above the Haynesville Shale.  This should be adequate vertical separation to insure no commingling of production between the two formations.

 

Operators design the fracture treatment for the Haynesville Shale with the intent of the fractures being contained vertically within the +/- 200 ft thickness of the formation while extending much further laterally from the wellbore.

Thanks for the quick reply and info Les! Given those depths it should be possible to make a Cotton Valley, Mid Bossier, Haynesville sandwich in DeSoto Parish. I like those kinda sandwiches!
