James, the only permit filed in 2010 in Bowie County was by Carr Resources for a 5,000' vertical in the Dalby Springs (Paluxy) or Wildcat Fields. It was later amended to a horizontal profile, still at 5,000', which is too shallow for the Haynesville.

There was a Smackover vertical completed @ 8,700' in September of '09. I doubt that Haynesville Shale will be found in Bowie County but I am not a geologist so that is just my opinion.

jffree, I'm new to all this, but, do you think it's possible they are looking for oil?

Sure it is, Cactus. There is plenty of incentive to look at old fields with a fresh perspective and new technology, given the current price of oil and condensate.
