The question of HBP would be answered by the language in the applicable leases.  Lacking any depth clause, all depths would be HBP by the Pettit well.  All leases which do include a standard depth clause would be free to lease the depths below the existing production.  The surface location is likely required to meet the state set back regs.  The vertical well bore will angle back toward the south section line before building its curve for the lateral.  The penetration and perforation points are 990 feet from the west line to allow for another lateral between this well and the western unit boundary line.  The drainage area for this well will be approximately 660' with 330' of that to the west leaving a remaining 660' to accommodate a later well.

Skip- do you know of any situations with Haynesville wells where a landowner has successfully challenged an old lease (1980's; 1990's; with an active shallow well) that did not contain a depth clause. I sure hate to miss out on bonus money.

Yes, but the specifics are important and you do not cite any.  If the "active shallow well" has been continuously produced and the volume of production meets the legal test for minimum production to maintain the lease, then that old lease is still binding.  It's actually a good bit more complicated than that but here again we are back to specifics.  Depending on the size of your mineral interest it may be worth your time and money to have an experienced O&G attorney review the historical production under the old lease.

look at Sec. 21 of 15/14. Supposedly there is a fault in that section (does it go into sec. 20?)  Could that be why the lateral is so far from the west line

KCM,

On page 10 of the attached file "Bossier Faults" Petrohawk's shale map shows a narrow gray fault line running southwestly from Wallace Lake down across the NW corner of Section 21 and ending in the far SE corner of Section 20.  Go to the 400% scale in the PDF file to see it better.  I can only guess that this is a possible reason why the well was placed on the west side rather than the east side of the section.  See Skip Peel's comment on January 17 above regarding the fact that there is still space for another well between the south-to-north lateral for 242547 and the west section line.  Looking at the image file for Section 20 you can see that some of the properties including homes on the east side of the north end of Burford road extend eastward into the NW corner of the section.  This may have had something to do with the decision to not drill the first well closer to the section line.  Good luck to you.

Robert

for the first time i can see the fault. Thanks for the info. Okay, I have reserved minerals in sec. 21. Viewing the fault, will the operator be able to drill 8 wells into this section with the fault crossing the northwest corner

Please keep in mind that the information shown on operator shale maps may only be approximate sketches.  I assume that data from seismic testing may show the depth and vertical offset of fault lines at specific locations, however, I have no knowledge of how seismic data is used or how accurate it is.  Only your operator can answer your question about 8 wells.

Sonris Scout Report as of 7/26/11:  12-stage frac completed 5/16/11, turned to sales 5/23/11, waiting on pipeline 5/30/11, which was nearly 2 months ago.  Anyone know status or progress on pipeline?   Nelson and Kelly CHK wells in adjacent sections 18 and 19 had only 9 and 10 frac stages, respectively, in 2009.  Has 12-stage frac become more common over the last 2 years?

Yes, 12 stage fracs are common.  And the number is still increasing along with variations in perforation designs.  It is not unusual to see 14 stage fracs now in HA units.
