I will try to get serial nos. for Petrohawk wells off Wallace Lake Rd. that I HEARD (have not confirmed) are for Smackover. As a lay person, I am trying to understand why a company would call one a Haynesville and one a Smackover. There has to be a reason why they are changing the name

In East Texas formations going down from Travis Peak you have-- cotton valley sands -- shale (upper shale is bossier and lower is Haynesville shale)--Cotton valley lime (aka haynesville lime)--then the smackover. Go to GoodRich Petroleum web site and click on their presentation on 6/29/2010 and look at page 11 on presentation their have nice picture of formations location I listed

thanks. i will go to GoodRich pg. to get a geological understanding. To a lay person, it is all very confusing. In one location a formation produces gas and in another location it is oil

I think we may be seeing what the insiders are calling "Sasquatch" a Gigantic Oil deposit Under the Haynesville. I have had Three People in the industry mention this. One Seismic person, One well safety employee, and one La. State Empoyee involved with the Mineral Board just as early as last week when I asked them. It is tremendous and the rumor has it that Desoto will look like Corpus Christi with all the oil pumpers. It is Quiet because alot of people have a depth clause that does not included Smackover.......New round of Lease monies

Thompson, when you find a geologist or geophysicist that will tell you about "Sasquatch" then it may have some validity.

Maybe Les or ShaleGeo can spread a little light....the Smackover in Miss. and Ala. produced O&G. Would that be possible here?

Smackover is unproven in many places, never drilled. It is a deep formation coming in at about 10,000 feet on the Arkansas/Louisiana line, the farther South it goes the deeper it gets. Most formations lie on top of the Smackover.

there are several cotton valley lime and smackover wells in east texas that I am aware of in the Overton Gas units in Smith county and in Rusk county area around Minden and Tatum and most all are Gas some EUR of 5-6 bcf on vertical wells some of them have "sour gas" Th ere a few that make some good oil. There have been a few H wells in the Lime-gas

les, over 70 % of the land owners in the play drank the koolaid back in 07 and 08.and leases for $200/acre or less. It takes a website like this to get people in the play to ask questions. No one will acknowledge and when the La., State mineral board compadre' acknowledged it , It made it real to me. Keep asking the questions. Funny how two of the wells with this Smakover ???? yall are talking about are on a State REp property?
