Adams County MS horizontal well

Does anyone have any insight into the MS Oil and Gas Board docket item yesterday regarding a permit to drill a well with a horizontal component to "test the Austin Chalk formation" in Adams County MS 5N2W sect 17-18? Proposed well on 980@ unit would be to 11,500 ft.. Exceptional location because of "topographical and geologic reasons". Would a well of that depth in that location also penetrate/test the TMS? I realize the North Bayou Jack Field is Austin Chalk not too far west, but also the Crosby TMS well is not too far south. This may be an interesting well for SW MS. Anyone on here have knowledge/thoughts?

Thanks for the update, Noah. It will be interesting to see if the prospect gets picked up.

Lower Tuscaloosa production in the area (Beverly Field) is around 10,900. TMS is above it.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
