XTO WOLFPACK (SL) DU 9-28-10, Stacked Lateral Well in Texas Haynesville, Shelby Co.

Unless I haven't been paying attention, I believe this is the first Stacked Lateral well in the Texas Haynesville.  Go XTO!  JONATHAN ANDERSON Survey A-5, Shelby County, 10.3 miles SE of Shelbyville. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Actually, it's probably the third... there was the R. Dean Hay (SL) #2H at Joaquin (just drilled) and Friday (24th) XTO permitted the Fightin' Irish (SL) #2H in San Augustine County. So... this is the 3rd one that I know of.
You've been napping, j garrett. Summer's over now... time to get back to some serious shalin', LOL!
Awesome! Go XTO! Was the R. Dean an XTO well?
Forgive my ignorance, what is the advantage of the "stacked lateral". it seems like you would just want to drill in a second well.
dbob--it basically is 2nd well--the R Dean Hays(SL) #1 and # 2 wells drilled by Goodrich just east of Joaquin---they drilled a H Haynesville Shale well then moved rig over on same pad and then drilled a H Bossier shale well. they are both shale but in different formations of the shale--they have completed drilling but not frac the wells to date. The SL will test both formation of Haynesville and Bossier
They are separate wells. The new field rules allow them to be MUCH closer to one another, maximizing the ultimate recovery (gas produced) from the well. There can be no more than 250 ft between surface locations (no minimum) and no more than 300 ft between laterals. The previous rules kept the distances at least 330 ft apart.
Thanks all,

I'm really getting an education here. So, essentially the drilling operations cost roughly the same for each well, but the stacked laterals don't require a new surface location, and don't require additional pipeline.
It saves some drilling cost, but I think it's more about maximizing production. If you could fit 8 wells in a unit under the old rules, now you can fit 16 (or more) in that same target zone (s) (Haynesville/Bossier). If gas would get back above $6.00 you'd see stacked laterals everywhere, IMHO.
You guys gonna just flap jaws or you gonna post the well plat and associated permit data? LOL!
Thanks, g. That's cool. For a minute there I thought you were just pulling Les B.'s string. Wait'll he gets back and sees this! LOL!

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…
