The company has followed up their first Field Order with their first Permits to Drill. Also reports of Azul making lease offers in other sections.

Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on August 25, 2022 at 2:42 I met James Carroll, VP-Land for Azul, when I presented at the NARO-LA conference earlier this year. Wished he and Azul luck and was glad to see the company push the boundary of the proven fairway in that area of the play. The NW Natchitoches Parish area fell out of favor with poor early well performance. Anybody remember the Messenger well?
Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on August 25, 2022 at 3:11 I think I recall that after reviewing the log, you thought the well was producing from the CV and the Bossier, not the Haynesville. I went to take a look at the Messenger for a client but didn't get past the gate guard. LOL!

Permalink Reply by George Willey on August 25, 2022 at 7:54 It seems like the Steadman well in 28-10n-10w was the one that made the drilling stop in this specific area. Hopefully, new technology and knowledge will allow for successful drilling.
Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on August 25, 2022 at 9:24 Natchitoches Island interrupts the stratographic sequence in 10N-10W. These sections are on the "slope" of the uplift. I'm sure Jay can explain it better. Formations "pinch out" against the slope. The Steadman 28 never encountered the Haynesville. It drilled into salt according to a letter in the Well File from XTO. I'll post a link. From this I would surmise that Natchitoches Island is a salt dome.
Permalink Reply by George Willey on August 26, 2022 at 4:32 So does that mean parts of 10n-10w will most likely never be drilled for Haynesville or Bossier because they are on the slope?
Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on August 26, 2022 at 4:53 They are pinched out on the slope of Natchitoches Island. The western third of 10N-10W may have Bossier which pinches out further east than the Haynesville. In the last two vertical rows of sections: 5&6, 7&8, 17&18, 19&20, 30&29 and 31&32 - some may have both Haynesville and Bossier. Just immediately west in 10N-11W, there are good wells with both reserves. This is further away from the Island/dome. Geology does not conform to straight lines like the section grid for a township so there is only some much that can be inferred from the geology in any given section. Expect some slight variations across 10N-10W but somewhere within the township is the eastern edge of economic Haynesville/Bossier.

Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on August 27, 2022 at 14:53 Bill, by "they" are you referring to Azul? 11N-10W is a busy township. Chesapeake, SWN and Tellurian.
Permalink Reply by Bill on August 28, 2022 at 1:53 I was referring to AZUL. SWN has been in contact also. Our land had been under lease from originally Andarko, then Petrohawk, and finally Tellurian. The well we received royalty from was eventually P@A before Tellurian took over. Not sure if it was one of the wells you already mentioned, Powell sounds familiar. I asked for and was granted a release by Tellurian several years ago. Just hoping someone is able to make it workout this time.

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…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
