The SMK must deepen as it moves west in Claiborne. This HA sand unit is on the stateline. It seems the LSBD would be over 11000 ft. at this location based on their perfs.

Where is the Chalybeat Springs Field located?
Skip I believe the majority of the Chalybeat Springs Field is in southeast Columbia County, Arkansas, near the state line. Don't know if any of the wells extended into Union County or below the state line. Believe the discovery well was drilled in the early 1970s, and produced from the Smackover. Seems like the initial production from those wells was in the 400 bbl-per-day range.
Skip, Bill is correct as to location. Tony can tell you all you want to know as he owns land in the field. This is field in which landowners tried to break up the fieldwide unit. Covers about 6100 acres and is HBP by one marginal well.
Do you have any news about this field?

I didn't find the field listed with the LA O of C and was curious about the location. I'm hopeful for the deeper WLL test in S23 - 22N - 8W.
Skip, this is way more info than needed but page 1 describes the unit and page 10 shows production perfs.

It is indeed. LOL! I'll try to find time tomorrow to look through it. Thanks.
Here is the discovery well for the Chalybeat Springs Field and it was a Cotton Valley well. It is interesting how they describe the SMK at 10700 ft. on page 19.

In that area, downdip from the BML/DOles well is toward the SW. And, downdip progresses into the condensate window and then into the gas window. Thats what the oil window/condensate window/gas window maps indicate.
Gas is easier to flow than oil, naturally, because of the shorter hydrocarbons
SONRIS Lite finally confirms that the Jackson #1 was indeed spudded on May 25, 2013:
