Bruce, I posted the following a few days ago in another forum. The wells listed should give an idea of the minimum proven area.

Some maps are definitely outdated since they do not even cover areas with known successful wells. To check spot the following wells on the map:

Goodrich/Matador, E&L Dev 15 #1 Well, Serial #237178, S15-T19N-R15W
Southern Star, AS Burt 20 #1 Well, Serial #238938, S20-T19N-R13W
EnCana, Charles H Goben #1 Well, Serial #236929, S19-T13N-R8W
EnCana, Janet Messenger # Well, Serial #237289, S8-T10N-R9W
Shell, Olympia Mills 26 #1 Well, Serial #236842, S26-T9N-R12W
Cabot?, TGU 1-101 # Well, Nacogdoches County
Penn Virginia, Fogle #5H Well, Serial #654152, Harrison County

The HS/BS play may be larger but at minimum it covers the above wells.

Diamond oil from Casper Wy. just had a Haynesville penetration in sec 11 twn 19 n rg 11 w. The well is off hwy 528 in the bellevue oilfield. All structure in the field is about 2000 feet higher because of the salt dome that created the Bellevue field. The well was drilled to 8775 but it penetrated the cotton valley and the Haynesville with good pressures in both. They lost circulation three or four times while drilling because of all the faulting caused by the salt dome. Well oxy 11-1 serial no 238690.

Wlt, thanks for the post. The wells I listed have information released that confirmed success in the Haynesville Shale. Other wells may have penetrated the HS but no information is available.

Regarding the Oxy 11, it is unclear if the target was Haynesville Sand or Haynesville Shale. The drilled depth of 8479' is much shallower than the other Haynesville Shale wells in NW Louisiana.

Salt dome in the area that pushed the Nacotach to 400 feet pushed all zones in the area up about 2000 feet. This created the Bellevue field. Info I have says its a Haynesville shale penetration. Also well was permitted as a Hayesville shale well, I guess Diamond did their homework. Diamond is an independent company that probably does not want the info released. They are currently drilling a well in section 35 twn 19n r11w to 11500 ft
