Jay,
Will you help me understand? Is the point to allow J-W to drill to CV or Hosston, and HBP the Haynesville?

Jay, I know people are sensitive to this topic but commingling has been done in many parts of Louisiana and Texas long before the Haynesville Shale. It can be beneficial as it could allow for accelerated production from any shallow formations by commingling in a deeper Haynesville Shale producing well.

Jay, would you think there could be any problems with an overpressured resevoir like the HA being comingled with a lower pressure CV?

Baron, normally the operator waits until the deeper horizon partially depletes and then then adds the shallower production. This is a very common practice in several states.

Jay, that is reason the Commision only allows commingling when the working interest and the royalty interest are the same in the two formations.

Les,

Am I correct in assuming that comingling production would make the shallow formations more cost effective to produce and thereby increase development?

Bobi, you are absolutely correct. It may allow an operator to produce a shallower thin sandstone that does not contain sufficient reserves to justify a separate well. That would be what I call lagniappe and would add incremental royalty dollars.

Henry, this application does not allow J-W to HBP deeper Haynesville Shale rights with a CV or Hosston well.

I was under the impression that many of the LCV wells in Elm Grove ARE HS wells in disguise. There is indeed something fishy and I need to investigate when I have the time!
