<p>Thanks RM! You have helped me understand alot of the process. At least I'm in a good area AC-Masters Creek Field & TMS. </p>

Overheard during a paper mill strike: "If I don't hear a good rumor by 10 am, I start one."

<p>The whole O&G effort can be very intoxicating for land and mineral owners when you are in those areas of activity. Best word to all is "patience". Things move slowly in the oil patch.</p>

<p>Seismic (2D) has been shot since before WW2 - obviously there have been improvements over time as to acquisition, processing and results / quality of the data.</p>
<p>3D came into play big time in the late 80's / early 90's and has become the norm for the industry since that time due to the amount of info that this survey type gives the operator. As with 2d, the quality and results of 3D have improved over time as technology and processing have advanced.</p>

<p>As to your first question, if there is any legitimate seismic data available it will be acquired and reviewed for what it may tell the operator. As a rule of thumb, historical 2D and 3D can be purchased from seismic data libraries for 5 to 10% of the cost of new 2D and 3D.</p> I guess all this activity jus…tag:gohaynesvilleshale.com,2018-08-29:2117179:Comment:37400282018-08-29T17:09:50.291ZLisa Melder-Johnsonhttps://gohaynesvilleshale.com/profile/LisaPoche
<p>I guess all this activity just gets us all excited about the possibilities of what can be. Also reliving the past. My dad who passed away almost 11 years ago was so excited & followed the 90's drilling boom & would take me driving around to all the well locations. Ah the memories! He was leased to Chesapeake for 5 years, up until 2000 & now I have the land & rights for 66 acres of the 76 he had. Sure miss him, he would love this. Guess that is where I get it.</p>

<p>Thanks RM! So they will look at existing 2D & 3D first before shooting any new data. What is the time frame of 2D/3D technology. IE 10 years, 20 years 30 etc. When did it come about?</p>

<p>Ran out of reply options for your Whittington well comments.</p>
<p>Difficult to answer your questions in this manner since it is not a simplistic situation.</p>
<p>First off, you need to have the reservoir (rock) charged with significant volumes of O&G to be able to produce - either with or without frac stimulation depending on the reservoir.</p>

<p>Difficult to answer your questions in this manner since it is not a simplistic situation.</p>
<p>First off, you need to have the reservoir (rock) charged with significant volumes of O&G to be able to produce - either with or without frac stimulation depending on the reservoir.</p>
<p>The Wilcox sands in this well (and most wells in this play in La) are "wet" with no significant O&G presence. When this play does work, it is normally 1-2 individual sands with 10' to 50' of total O&G pay that does not need to be frac stimulated.</p>
<p>Plays like the AC, TMS, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Marcellus, Permian Basin have thick (50' to several hundred feet) reservoir sections of O&G charged section (silts, mudstones, carbonates, fine grained sands) which can not be produced because the reservoir / rock is "tite", i.e. the permeability is too low to allow for O&G molecules to move from the rock into a wellbore. This is why horizontals are drilled and then frac'd - to open up as much section as possible and then rubble-ize it with frac job.</p>
<p>The AC is a carbonate (technically a Limestone) - this will have various degrees of brittleness which makes it optimum for frac stimulation. Key for the AC is to have sufficient porosity to contain O&G in the matrix rock that can be released by frac stimulation approach.</p>
<p>No porosity in AC will equal no chance of making a decent completion. Cannot get blood from a turnip.</p>
<p>PS - note that all these "shale plays" are not really shales - they are a mix of other lithologies / all of which have their own characteristics as to porosity, perm, brittleness, etc. As well as organic content and a thermal history that has generated O&G.</p>
