KEY: The number of drilling & production units in each township is now depicted in black or blue. Black denotes no change since the last Snapshot, blue those townships with units added since the previous Snapshot map. In an attempt to indicate where current drilling is in progress along the boundaries of the Play, the number in red in the lower right corner of a township indicates the number of rigs currently drilling. I hope this adds some basic information of some value without causing confusion. I tried several different color codes for townships and simply thought they were confusing. This is what I settled on. Feedback is appreciated. Skip

This will be a big help. Thanks for what you do. Why don't all townships have rig info?

Highwayman. I was looking for a way to help define how the HS Play was evolving. Many of the far east and south townships have drilling units but few or no rigs drilling nor completed wells. Therefore the prospective nature of the shale is undefined at this time. The Play has ground to a halt up north as indicated by the fact that there is only one well and no new drilling units. The townships with no number of rigs drilling have seen sufficient previous development to define them as well within the core of the Play. Wells drilling there are not needed to define the shale as that has already occurred.

Skip, so is there a rig drilling in Sec. 32-8-12? I come to this site everyday and this is the first I've seen this infomation. Thanks, I'll look other places and find out who, what and where this rig is, unless someone knows.

skip -- looks like Stonewall,Keachi, Grand Cane, Logansport area may be getting close to HBP, your thoughts?

treeman. Those areas have not only seen a lot of HS related drilling, they had prior drilling and production unrelated which had leasehold HBP before we ever heard of the Shale. They are a number of HA drilling units that still do not have first wells because the operator holding the HBP'ed deep rights has other sections that require drilling before leases expire in other parts of the Play. Stonewall, Keachi, Grand Cane and Logansport are definitely in the HS Core. The Logansport Field may also be one of the best for the Haynesville/Bossier Combi Play.

Skip, attached is a grid that shows the number of Haynesville Unis in each Township that are held by a Haynesville Shale well (permitted and/or drilled). This gives a really good picture of past well activity and where the operators have the most work left to finish.

Thanks, Les. I think that will help fill in some blanks. I do not recall but do you have a grid with number of completed wells by township?

Skip, I do not have one with completed wells since that data is not readily available.

Les, it would also be interesting to see the same grid with permitted, drilling, or completed horizontal wells only........no verticals.
