I have been researching the pipelines in Webster Parish. The new wells should and are being permitted in close proximity to the pipeline network in the CV Field, Shongaloo, Ada, near Bistineau and will expand outwards.
I will post some maps I have found shortly.
Follow a river to a harbor and you will find port cities. Follow the pipeline and you may anticipate where the next mini hot spot might be. The gaps to be filled in later.
I talked with a gas pipeline engineer with Williams Pipeline and he told me the that the shale runs from Texas, through NWLA, Ark. Tenn. Kent. all the way to Pennsylvannia. I think the Northern and Southern portion of Webster is in the Shale. I hope.
All criticism is welcome for this will help refine this perspective.
I just read where chesapeake has ordered 13 new rigs for the shale all will be able to drill beyond 17,000 feet. they are to start arriving sometime this early fall through early summer of '09.
Centerpoint CP Pipeline (42")
Gulf South East Texas Mississippi Expansion (42")
Gulf South Gulf Crossing (42")
Kinder Morgan Midcontinent Express (42")
These are all recently built or under construction gas pipelines. They were originally built for Barnett Shale, East Texas & Woodford Shale production. As the Haynesville Shale developes additional pipelines will be required.
