Haynesville gas flows as high as 28 MMcfd
By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Dec. 9 -- Three operators reported new horizontal completions in Jurassic Haynesville shale at rates as high as 28.2 MMcfd of gas.
The three companies, Petrohawk Energy Corp. of Houston and Comstock Resources Inc. and EXCO Resources Inc. of the Dallas area, plan much more activity in the Haynesville in East Texas and Northwest Louisiana.
Petrohawk reported the 28.2 MMcfd rate at its Sample 9-1 in 9-14n-11w, Red River Parish, La., about 12 miles south of Elm Grove gas field. The rate came on a 30/64-in. choke with 7,100 psi flowing casing pressure.
Petrohawk's Brown 17-4 in 17-16n-11w, Bossier Parish, gauged 23.4 MMcfd on a 26/64-in. choke with 7,700 psi FCP. And its Goodwin 9-5 in 9-16n-11w, Bossier Parish, made 21.1 MMcfd on a 26/64-in. choke with 6,750 psi FCP.
The company plans to complete five more Haynesville shale wells by yearend 2009.
Initial flow rate is 9 MMcfd at Comstock's BSMC LA 7-1H well in Toledo Bend North field, De Soto Parish. The flow came from a 4,300-ft lateral at 11,750 ft true vertical depth after a 10-stage frac.
Comstock is running another 10-stage frac at its Collins LA 15-1H well in Logansport field, also in De Soto. It has a 4,200-ft leg at 11,350 ft. The company has a 22% interest in the Gamble 24-1H well at Logansport, drilled to 11,800 ft TVD with a 3,950-ft lateral.
Comstock has drilled the vertical portion of two other Haynesville wells. Bogue A-6H in Waskom field in Harrison County is to get a 4,000-ft lateral, and Green 13H in Blocker field in Harrison County is to get a 3,700-ft lateral.
Comstock is drilling vertically at Headrick 1H and Hart 1H in Logansport and Moneyham 7H in Longwood field. Each is due a 4,000-ft leg.
EXCO said its first Haynesville horizontal well, Oden 30H6 in De Soto Parish, averaged 22.5 MMcfd on a 26/64-in. choke with 7,800 psi FCP. It has a 4,481-ft lateral at 12,304 ft TVD.
EXCO has two operated horizontal wells, one vertical well, and two outside-operated horizontal wells in the play and plans to drill 25 or more horizontal Haynesville wells in 2009.

Wonder if the Petrohawk landman drinks coffee, or the Exco landman, or the Comstock landman? Have they been beating your door down, Buck?

Mr. Buckner,
I have a friend that was offered $11,000 per acre by Chesapeake and turned it down. The recently came back to him at $2,000 per acre. He could hardly compose his laughter.

I would take an $11,000 offer before you could blink!

He has 80 acres, and probably the only drilling location.
He's also a member of the $200 an acre club from last year. Some of us tend to still be a tad more cautious over that one.

They seem to have all cooled their jets. I've had some leased for a while ...just hoping to get it drilled.

Fill in acreages still seems to be going for $20,000 with 25% in South Bossier around Jimmie Davis area (at least from Petrohawk).

I'm sure you're right, Parker, but I must admit I find it very hard to believe. I have some unleased acreage a mile and a half from HK's 28 million cu ft a day well, the Sample 9, and a half-mile from a section where they're drilling two Horizontal wells simultaneously (Sample 4) and the same distance from where they're drilling another Horiziontal Haynesville and have completed a horizontal Cotton Valley but not yet announced its IP rate (Sample 5).You would think that HK or CHK would be interested in this 28 acres (56 total unleased). But HK made an offer and withdrew it a month or two ago. By the way the offer that was withdrawn was much less than the $20,000 you're talking about. Makes me scratch my head.

I think it's more that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Sounds really strange to me.
It may be that there is still some competition between Petrohawk and Chesapeake in this area.
But honestly, if it is worth it there, how could it not be worth it in Elm Grove? -
