Check out the Webster Parish Group for Springhill and the Claiborn Parish Group for Homer.

Eva, the Haynesville formation in the area of Springhill and Homer is sand, not shale.  Any current leasing in that general area is probably related to the Lower Smackover Brown Dense prospect.  Although the Brown Dense is not a shale, it is a formation with low permeability that requires development with horizontal wells similar to those drilled in the Haynesville Shale. To follow the Brown Dense prospect use this link and join this group.

Skip I am not understanding why there is no shale in these areas or in the Haynesville area since it is called Haynesville Shale?

The Haynesville formation covers a wide arc from central Texas to the Gulf coast in Mississippi.  So it exists in many areas not named Haynesville.  Across that arc the composition of the formation varies.  This is the ancient Gulf coast which moved north and south over millions of years.  The Haynesville formation is sand in the area of Springhill and Homer and has been drilled an produced for many years with vertical wells.  It is a conventional reservoir with sufficient permeability for hydrocarbons to flow through the formation.  In the portion of the basin where the Haynesville is shale, the permeability is too low for hydrocarbons to flow.  They are locked in the formation and can only be released, in economic volumes, by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation.  The closest productive Haynesville shale is in the extreme southwest corner of Webster Parish.  And the wells there are marginal.

Thanks, this is good info and I appreciate this.

Hey Skip.. Can you help me out please.... I use to be able to look at the production numbers on wells through the Louisiana DNR web site... Now I can't see them anymore... I also can't get to the sonris web site to breakdown certain areas have they changed everything?

Thanks

John, the database seems to be operating normally for me just now.  Maybe you have a broken link.  Try this one.

Thanks Skip... One other question... On the Louisiana DNR website there is an excel spreadsheet... I use to be able to open the spreadsheet go over to the far right of a row where there was a well and I would hit enter and it would bring up all the info on that particular well ... History production etc... Is that not available anymore or is it now embedded with your link above?

And many thanks for your help

The Excel spreadsheet covering all the Haynesville Shale wells no longer contains a link to the SONRIS Lite Well File.
