Shale: What about EnCana's Blackstone A-43 @ 31Mmcfd in San Augustine, EOG's Crane et al @ 31Mmcfd, and EOG's Murray gas unit @ 25 Mmcfd in Nacogdoches/Chireno?
ROG - We still need some cumulative data. Those wells that you named are the Texas wells with the best IPs so far, but we don't have extended production stats for them yet. Time will tell. Isn't the question "best producers" not best IPs?
If the Encana Blackstone, A-43 averaged 27 million/day in it's 1st month of production, which would be 810 million cu. ft., I'd say it was off to a pretty good start!
IP rates only give crowing rites for a short time. I would think that you would see IP rates that could maybe double the rates of the highest IP wells of the ones crowing at this point. The larger players have learned that this doesn't help the price of NG.
If you have well after well coming in at over 40 million a day then it looks to speculators like we have a glut of gas. Not a market that makes for a safe investment at 4 bucks that could drop to 3 bucks or 2.
I see, thanks. However, the HS wells are such a small percentage of all of the gas wells throughout the country. I wouldn't think that they, collectively, would have much bearing on the Nat'l average...?
In general you will see that IP, flowing pressure and peak month production are all correlative to reserves. And by these measures, Elm Grove, NE DeSoto, Red River and San Augustine TX are the best areas. San Augustine looks like it may be the best of the best, but it is early.
That data needs to be updated. FWIW - I only have access to data from Sonris. I am in the process of updating my spreadsheet which does an automated download of data from Sonris. It needs the addition of some wells and some remodeling too. The data that I download is per unit so it will eventually be not able to separate individual well data. Currently though most of the La. hall of fame wells are in units that are still reporting data for only 1 Haynesville (or Bossier?) well.
As of June reported data, the biggest ones on my list (where only a single well is being reported in the unit) were:
EGP 30 #H13 Well - Petrohawk Bossier Parish which had produced 4,206,606 MMCF in 18 months of reported production. Brown 17 #H4 also Petrohawk Bossier Parish might be in a similar ballpark but the data I have for it with 19 months of production includes a second well whose production numbers came on in the sixth month with the 2 well total being 7,656,975 MMCF through June. The Black Stone 6 #3 Well - Petrohawk DeSoto Parish has been coming on strong with 3,936,416 MMCF from only 8 months of reported production.
