SWN Proposed Unit Line Alternate Unit Well

SWN filed an application for an alternate unit well that proposes the well to be drilled on the boundary between 6 units in 13N-09W.  This is a common practice in other unconventional basins like the Bakken in North Dakota, but this is the first time I have seen one in the Hayneville.  The application states that the production will be split equally between neighboring units to the east and west of the proposed well.  I will be interested to see how this application progresses.

Thanks, Ryan. I noticed that permit yesterday.  This is the third time I've noticed this well spacing but the first time as a well permit to drill.  More flexibility for operators and squeezing more gas out of Haynesville rock.  I'd say it is a good turn of events for all parties.

For clarity, the instance I am referring to is a permit to drill as opposed to an alternate well application.  Here is a link to the new well permit.  Scroll down to the well plat.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
