An oil industry friend of my cousin's told her that the Kardell was a major discovery but that the Haynesville Shale becomes much thinner very quickly as you go south of San Augustine. She told her that Hwy 21 and around there isabout as far south as the oil companies are going to go for now. She said that all of it will be worked eventually, toward the end of the play but to the south it's thinner and a lot deeper and there's a lit of easier stuff to drill for the forseeable future. She said all the companies know that. Is this right y'all think? Anybody that's got some facts or thoughts, post!
