I think it is good. BEUSA drilled its last well over four years ago. I suspect that Indigo will drill CV wells in those BEUSA sections.
At some point I suspect Indigo would farm out the Haynesville zone. If they establish CV production they can hold the units until natural gas prices rebound in the future. Or they can participate in new HA wells drilled by other operating companies if any have an interest in drilling in this price environment.
You're welcome, ray. The acquisition of the BEUSA acreage may actually make Indigo's NW LA holdings a more attractive acquisition opportunity for a larger E&P company in the future.
Skip, do you have any idea or a good guess about which NW La townships and individual sections are included in this new acquisition? Always enjoy your inputs. Thank you..
Thanks, Robert. Bridas started drilling CV and HOSS wells a few years prior to the advent of the Haynesville Shale. Use this link to see their producing wells:

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
