The rumor mill has it that Chesapeake has just completed a big oil producer from the lower Haynesville or the Smackover....this discovery is said to be somewhere in DeSoto parish....
But Doc loved the Wilcox. He chased the Wilcox from 2K' in around the Lasalle Arch to over 10K' in S LA.
He was a lifer, though. And one heck of a horse trader, by all accounts.
And one of the biggest gambles of his life paid off bigger than one man (not a public entity, and not a big private corp.) just about ever got out of a single trade.
My guess it would be the Smackover, if it were a large producer, the Haynesville perm would be two low. The only way it could be the Haynesville would be highly open fractured or a sand in the Haynesville shale then why oil most of the Haynesville has been dry gas except for a Matdor well that produced 25 bbls of condensate with the gas.
