Okay, happened to come back and sonris is up; two of the three wells bordering the ununitized sections to the west are in, not spectacular but reasonable - one at 13.9 MMcf/d IP, 8144# CP, the other at 10.6 MMcf/d IP, 8250# CP (21 months production data on the 13.9, not bad, on curve but low to start like most compared to IP).  I checked other wells on the boundary of this "void", and interestingly the best are actually to the east and south, not to the west as I supposed - three in at IP 20 MMcf/d or more, a couple in in the teens, one at 7 MMcf/d to the far northeast; did not check northern border.  Just seems strange this area would have gotten left alone, given they knew something was there way back; vagaries of leasing I suppose.

I show all sections in 13N-9W under HA unit order excepting Section 1.  Samson Contour holds the unit order on Section 2.  All the others are Encana.

Robert,

If you are looking at the GIS map on the DNR website, it will only show units (in blue) that are HA units.  It won't show Jurrassic units like are north of Martin and it won't show CV units like are at Ashland.  Even though they are all obviously targeting the same formation (HA & BO). 

 

I wish they would correct this.

I agree, Highwayman.  It is confusing.  That's one of the reasons I maintain my own tracking spreadsheets.  I almost never look at the GIS map and would never use it as a part of my research for clients. 

 

I posted a Blog on the CV/LCV units that included the HA & BO zones a good while  back.  I'll provide a link here for those who would care to review the list.  And I invite those who have found other examples to add to the list.

Yes, Highwayman, you made the concise statement that cleared up my misconception about the GIS resources! Thanks! DNR should really fix it; it is very logically inconsistent.  Oh oops!

Oh Wow, I see what you guys mean.  Something has to be HA to show up on the GIS maps.  Well, that sort of messes up being able to use the mapping services to get a real overview of what is going on.  Geez.  Is there anybody with a bit of weight that can get them to fix this?  It is a huge hole in the data, and while the sonris database is cool, combining it with visuals is such a better way to keep track of what is going on.  So sorry for being off base on the GIS interpretation, but I bet there are lots of folks that don't realize it; NW LA is closer to being covered solid with wells than it looks ;-)  Okay, I could determine this additional info, but asking the question here gets it noted.  These Cotton Valley and Jurassic formations are shallower I believe, but companies must be holding them leased to deeper depths (ie., there is no Pugh clause, if I remember right?), and there are actually wells there listed in CV and JUR units, that are targetting the HA?  So this would be just great - there are areas on the maps that are "clear" that are actually the areas over time that have produced the most oil and gas!

Robert,

 

Go here for a GIS map of ALL wells in Louisiana.

Hi FXEF,

Looks a bit harder to use, but also looks like it tracks just about everything imaginable.  Thanks much!  I will have to start playing with this.  Is it useful for the existence of this to be wider known, or was I just exceptionally ignorant?  I noted that either Skip or Les said they don't bother with GIS services due to incompleteness, but even though I am not a graphics guy, I really recognize the value in information presentation.  Overall, I am pretty impressed with the compute resources DNR does support, I have to say; there may be some problems, but somebody in state govt did the right thing in creating all this stuff.

Robert, I use the interactive mapping function of Sonris quite extensively.
