2009 looks to be a promising year for the Haynesville shale.
Encana, a Canadian natural gas company, have already drilled wells into the shale.
Jeff Wojahn, director of U.S. operations, says none of the wells are record breakers, but they are producing sizable amounts of natural gas.
"They're strong wells. We have had good results that have been equivalent to results published by the industry," said Wojahn.
Those results have encouraged Encana to plan on drilling five more wells over the next year, into the Haynesville shale and another formation called the Deep Bossier.
Chesapeake Energy, one of the early players in the shale, is also looking to expand in 2009. "We're currently operating 20 rigs a today. We expect to end the year with 35 rigs operational in this 3.5 million acre acrea," said Kevin McCotter, company spokesman.
Another big player, Petrohawk, also has plans to add at least a dozen more rigs.
Don Briggs, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, says there is almost 100 rigs working in north Louisiana.
Many of those rigs were moved from the Barnett shale in Fort Worth and the Marcellus shale in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Parker he's a lucky young man. My dad had one wolf. It was the butt whoopin wolf, and when that wolf got hold of your butt you knew it. By the time he got done with you, it felt like a real wolf got a hold of it.

Dorcheated,
He's been introduced to a mild version of that wolf as well. But luckily that wolf hasn't had many visits.

AMEN to that!! Thanks for the wonderful reminder.
Sometimes my BAD wolf likes to come out to play during winter (when it's wet and gray outside, freezing cold and people drive like nutty maniacs). Sorry...bad wolf slipped out again. Time to take a warm bath and drink some hot chocolate.

Antsu - How's the other side of the world? Mardi Gras is in full swing here, you can watch on KTBS website.
Wolves .. I guess the most important point is to be aware they exist. It starts when we're young, but as adults we can do self-correct.
PS Go take a look at Kassi's newest blog ... indescribably evil wolf. :0(

Not a fight young lady, just a minor disturbance. I have these impulses that over take me at times. My Doctor said these are quite normal for a person my age. He doulbled my Prozac, gave me a pat on the back, charge me $60 and sent me back out into the world.
