A landman with Exco that we met with today said HK had completed a gas well in the Buckner formation (around 13K') that came in pretty good. I'm assuming that it's in RR or DeSoto because I was asking him about the Bossier in north RR. He said the Buckner was below the HA (around 15K' in north RR). Anyone heard about this well or formation?

The Buckner is a shale lying immediately above the Smackover.
"You may do a search on the site and find it."

My search got nothing. Do you have a link by any chance? Thanks.
John, my recollection was the Buckner is a sandstone that is productive in certain regions of the LaMiss Salt Basin.
Who needs the "oil" purported under the shale when they keep finding more "lagniappe" gas?
The Buckner in some places is a shale (Red River Co. Texas) in other places I have seen Buckner sands in the shale, in most of Louisiana and Ark. the Buckner is an Anhydrite and can have either sand or limes in it, but this is not normal.
The Buckner in N Louisiana and S arkansas is a red shale with anhydrite stringers. The Buckner is the upper seal for the Smackover/Norphlet with the Luann salt being the bottom seal.
Les,

Do I assume correctly that the Buckner will be similar to the Cotton Valley and only be present in traps and not consistent like the Haynesville?
"pretty good" was as specific as he got concerning the production. Anyone know what well he might be talking about? Thanks.
Great chart!
