Cubic Energy provides drilling schedule for 2010

Cubic Energy accelerates drilling work

Cubic Energy reported based on drilling projections recently provided by operators of its Haynesville Shale acreage, the Company is scheduled to participate in up to 13 gross and 4.62 net horizontal Haynesville Shale wells (36.2% working interest) in calendar year 2010.

If these projected wells are drilled as currently scheduled, Cubic's capital expenditures for the calendar 2010 drilling program could exceed $40,000,000. Cubic's share of the cost of the majority of these wells currently scheduled to be drilled through December 31, 2010 would be covered by a Drilling Credit acquired in November, 2009. Generated cash flow, cash on hand and/or existing credit availability could also be utilized for drilling obligations, if necessary. These wells are operated by other companies and the current drilling schedule for these wells is subject to change based upon factors beyond Cubic's control.

Cubic also announced a peak twenty-four (24) hour flow rate of approximately 1350 Mcfe per frac stage from its Red Oak 6 No. 1 well (35% working interest) in its Bethany Longstreet acreage in southern Caddo Parish, Louisiana. Only five frac stages of the anticipated fifteen were pumped due to a breach in the casing at approximately 11,000'. However, an additional well with a 10 to 15 frac stage completion is already planned for this Section.

Cubic hits trouble in Haynesville bore

US junior Cubic Energy said flows at the Red Oak 6-1 well were curbed after the a casing breach only allowed for five successful fracture stages.

The well came in at a peak 24-hour flow rate of 1.35 million cubic feet per day.

Cubic, which has a 35% working interest in the well, had planned 15 frac stages in the well but the casing failed at 11,000 feet, scuttling the final 10 stages.

The company said it plans another well on the same section that will target the unfracced zones with 10 to 15 stages.

In all, Cubic plans to participate in 13 gross and 4.62 net horizontal Haynesville shale wells this year at a cost of about $40 million, but most would be carried under a drilling credit deal that was struck in November last year, the company said in a release.

Not "my" flow rate. LOL! It's a "cut and paste" of an Internet article. Posted by yours truly with no comment. I will gladly pull the plat when I return but now I must be off for Uncertain, TX. and Caddo Lake where I will host a group of TX. friends for a beautiful Spring weekend fishing, boating and cooking. Might even be a cocktail or two involved. Have a good weekend.
Have fun, Skip!
Exco is the Operator of this well. I believe the IP was 1.35 million cu ft per completed frac (5) rather than 1.35 million/day. Does anyone on the site know if the Exco/Cubic agreement included the Cubic operated Sections in northern 15/15 ( Johnson Branch Field)? I own a few acres in 15/15 Section 10 where Cubic has a Cotton Valley well that is holding the Section. The Gloria's Ranch 10 Cotton Valley well was completed in February, 2008 with a whopping IP of 184,000 cu ft /day. It has not quite made 6 million cu ft of gas since that time, and made 3,000 cubic feet in January of this year.....that is about $13.00 for the month, gross. I'm sure hoping that Exco is taking over as Operator and that a Haynesville gets drilled. That would probably be too much luck on my part!
