I am not geologist but my understanding the Cabot/XOM wells in the Trawick field listed as jurassic refers to the upper jurassic which is the mid-bossier shale and the lower jurassic is the CV Lime. These wells are south of the Mt. Enterprise Fault and Sabine Uplift. I think these are shale wells per COG conference call last year and not Bossier Sands that are effected by the fault. Why listed as "Jurrassic" I don't know. Petrohawk list two wells near Tenaha in Shelby the same way. Maybe some geology expert on the site will explain it to us.

I've looked at that Teneha field, too. And wondered the same thing. That field was named in 1965.
There appears to have been minimal production from these intervals until lately, so I think they are just keeping the cat in the bag for as long as possible. But, then, I am just suspicious by nature, lol.

There is the possibility that the shale intervals are not present in these fields but a geologist would have to confirm that. That being said, it is a field (Jurassic) that should be watched for reports.
