Just wondering if this well is already in existence.

Well Serial #238527 is flaring as of the past couple of days.

Nabors #620 Rig, Petrohawk, B&K Exploration 37 #1, S37-T17N-R13W.

I hope they release the results in their conference call on the 25th.

Yes, I know, but it is located right there. I was wondering if they might be getting ready to announce the RESULTS of the first well drilled within the city limits.

But on second thought, I did see a BUNCH of dump trucks at Hamels today, so maybe that is the location of their first well inside the city limits. The B&K 37 is probably outside of the city limits.

The fact that it is section 37 makes its location and description a little unusual. The maps show B-Caddo line to run through the oxbox behind the Haven and the well is on the Bossier side.

I didn't see the flare last night.

I wonder how long is "common" for a well to flare?

If you are flowing back after a frac, you will generally only do so untill the water returns cease or become manageable and/or the gas cleans up to pipeline quality. Ideally you want your gas to go into a sales line, not a flare.

So the quicker the better?

not really.

When you frac your injecting a lot of water into the well along with sand and N2. Depending on the size and # of fracs, as well as the % of water that is returned, the time could vary.

Also, they may not have a pipeline hooked up yet, so they may have no other option but to flare.

The well stake on the B&K Exploration 37-1 is 300 ft from the Bossier parish line. Google Earth makes it easy to keep up with all the well stakes.

The last scout report (02-20-09) said 238527 is in test.

Evidently they are happy with the results.
