If it was my company, I would be getting whole core and every high-end open hole log I could get - including oriented dipole logs for geomechanical and stress info.

Take one's time in evaluating the core for TOC, maturity, mineralogy, P&P, Gas in place, etc.

And come up with best landing / target zone for lateral

Ryan and Rock Man, do you think 13,950 TVD would be deep enough to test the Haynesville?

Based on this log, yes

Thanks.  I'll keep looking for additional wells in the Robeline Field that may provide an idea of what Expand and GEPH II are looking at to inform their leasing efforts.

This is the reply I received from my contact at the Office of Conservation.

This is an odd one. They are actually drilling a directional well. Not sure what's causing the surface location to be so far away from the bottom hole location but this will not be a horizontally produced well. Odd things happen in this part of the world so I'm not completely surprised by something odd like this.

Looking closer at this - something is weird.

The TVD of 17,000' paired with a measured depth of 26,000' MD would normally be indicative of a planned Hz well.

• But if it is truly a directional well, this would mean a directional offset of over 19,000' (if my geometry calculations are correct)

I looked at the surface view of this area (Sec 27-9N-9W) - nothing by woods and some open fields. No culture.

• Why would one have to drill a 3+ mile directional well to test a specific target at 17,000' TVD?

If this is a specific bottom hole target at this depth, I would have to figure it was some sort of a deep Jurassic structural feature - perhaps a reef.

• But the TVD vs MD doesn't make sense for this.

Something is missing or in error in the permit info we have - need to see the actual permit plat to see what the plan is really here.

It will be a few days before the full permit is available on SONRIS.  Maybe even next week as slow as things have been in Baton Rouge.  If it is not available by Thursday, I'll see if I can get a copy from the local office.
