Jack, yes - the Haynesville Shale is below the Bossier Shale. That is the reason some companies refer to the Haynesville Shale as the Lower Bossier Shale.

Hi Les B

Is there a list of Parishes that have had Smackover production?

Marc, I believe at minimum the following parishes in NLA have Smackover production.

Bossier, Claiborne, Lincoln, Union & Webster

Thanks Les

I appreciate the information. Perhaps as information gets better other Parishes will join the list. Smackover has been going along time. Why do you think they have a renewed interest in it all of a sudden?

Profits drive everything. With the state of the economy the price of I think will go up. More drilling and better technology also lowers the cost of drilling. Thus profits go up and things looks appealing. Lets see what happens.

OIL is currently more profitable. Bottom line.

I haven't read the entire thread but has anybody brought up the possibility that they are considering the Smackover because it can hold HS rights and might be more economical at current ng prices? I imagine if this were true there would be some unhappy mineral owners.

I read a report from a while back about the Smackover/Haynesville trend that said this "The Haynesville shoal trend along the West side of the Sabine Uplift lagoon has been a significant productive trend. It seems very likely that this trend continues South to the West side of the Sabine Island, where Cotton Valley rocks rest on Paleozoic strata. Also, the shoal trend must continue in some form on the East side of the Sabine Island and the lagoon.....Shoals around the Sabine Island will be found at substantial depths, due to the thick Tertiary cover in the area." Also "Conditions favorable for pinnacle reefs should continue throughout Southern East Texas and around the Sabine Island." Could someone please interpret this and explain it in plain language. Shoals? Pinnacle Reefs? Is these usually productive for dry gas? wet gas? oil?
