I was talking about any formation.  Not one in particular.  I hadn't heard of a well that drilled to the Haynesville formation and also had separate laterals into another formation.

I'm somewhat familiar with the HA stacked laterals in E TX that dbob mentions.  Julie (jffree1) could probably provide us with some additional information on those.  I am unaware of any stacked laterals in the NW LA. 

Before we go too far down this road there is a distinction to be made.  Stacked laterals as mentioned here are multiple horizontal wellbore extensions from the same vertical wellbore.  Then there is what I will call "stacking laterals".  This is the practice of orienting one horizontal wellbore from one vertical wellbore directly over or under another horizontal wellbore from a different vertical wellbore.  This is done so that the two frac cylinders communicate (overlap) and stimulate a larger volume of rock.  I don't think "stacking" horizontal wellbores is applicable for the Haynesville Shale as it is generally not thick enough to need two laterals.  "Stacking" laterals certainly can work where there is a target formation with pay greater than >400' in thickness or multiple stacked formations that have sufficient hydrocarbons.  Wildhorse is "stacking" laterals in some of their Lincoln Parish wells.

God bless you skip for injecting that clarity. :) .

when Bobi took me to task i had to go into high-speed edumacate lol myself mode.

and quickly realized from my speed reading that horizontal advances such as multi-lateral is the one area in which the "proving fields" have been marcellus and texas etc. and specifically NOT NW-LA-Haynesville. Thus I stood/stand corrected lol.

Now a lil bit of waxing poetic about who I am.

What has occurred in only 10 years, continues to leave me speechless. Because the initial single and isolated benefit has quickly become a global cascading force like an avalanche it will be realized eventually that The Shale Revolution was/is, for Mankind, a technological advance that can stand alongside the handful of others that occur only once every 500 years or heck longer.

And it was born in Fayettville, and Barnett, and right here right now in Haynesville, where my 2 brothers and I feel so fortunate to be the sole heirs and now owner's of 1,000's of acres of property acquired before the Civil War by my father's father's father's father and my father's mother's mother that just by pure dumb luck is located at the epicenter of Haynesville, specifically one piece that what at one time was "one continuous piece" but became 3 corners of I-49 at Highway 175. (dad sold the surface where subsequently the Relay Station and Casino popped up, but not the minerals thank God lol).

My father's father, a Mansfield, LA "Roberts", was President/CEO of Nabors Trailers in its heyday never leaving his grandfather's and father's place, the 10 acres and pillared white house on Gibbs Street at Crosby, and in fact "saved" it when his father had borrowed heavily on it and then died in 1930. His mother and siblings, as many in the country did, headed to california, never to return. The dust bowl, the great depression, etc. My father's mother a Kingston, LA "Scott".

I am most happy to have been born, and will always be, an environmentalist. But it now gives me even greater pleasure to be a proud natural gas producer in Haynesville, the "proving fields" and birthplace imho of The Shale Revolution, located far beneath the surface of the Parish of DeSoto, in the great state of Louisiana, USA.

I know exactly how you feel,we have inherited our 20 acres in Claborne Parish,just off of Arizona road.my Grandfather Dayton C.Kimbell was sent to California via US Navy,which is where we(grandchildren)grew up hearing about great times in Louisiana and beloved family members down in the South.wasn't until last year we inherited it,and just like you I feel blessed and lucky to be apart/ have a part of such great opportunity and beautiful land. So my goal this year is to finally make it down there and see it while fishing in beautiful Claiborne lake while camping in "The Backwoods" that I can actually call our own.Thanks to our Great Grandparents,Grandparents and my Mom ..thank you for sharing your story (jscottrx)it validates true emotion and gratitude and lets me know I'm not the only one who feels this way
