Graysands--Lot of info but, the Question is does any one have data with verification on a SHALE well in Shelby County--ie Bossier or Haynesville Shale formation that has been drilled???? I do not see anything in this report. I know several wells in the Shale have been drilled and reported in Nacgodoches, Rusk,Panola, and Harrison by several different E&P, but what about Shelby?

Thanks HS ,Is that the Red River 877 well? It was spud 10/10/08 per rrc. Then amended premit to horizonal on 10/17/08 with total dept 15,000' and 4275' H leg. On rrc drilling permit it says that it is James Lime well. Are you sure it is a shale well? If you know it is making 4.5 mmcf you must know some one. I do not believe they can fac a vertical well to test and then drill out horizonal on same vertical hole. It would require another hole drilled to go horizonal. Please ask you contact to confirm formation with vertical dept. Thanks look for your reply

IP on the Mcswain 6 was over 5mmcfd. It was at about 15,000. I think they called it a 'wildcat'. Seems like the companies have done evrything they can to avoid labeling anything Haynesville but what else can it really be if it's 15,000 feet?

To say 'all info is tight' about that well location is an understatement.
