started drilling in mid March of 2011..still shown as drilling
What is the API # ?

I've worked with a drilling supervisor who was one a rig in Boggy Slough east of this location in the 1980's that was down around 18000-20000 feet and blew out.
I think there was also a confirmation of gas in a well drilled in Federal Minerals off Forest Road 540-A to the southwest, and gas shows in a well drilled near the school, a few miles south of this well. Thats the vague recollection of someone who was a wee lad at the time. They also did some pretty significant flaring of a well either near north cedar creek, or in Trevat in the 1980s.
Ok, I've got some folks in the area who will dig a bit and see what they can find out. I had one friend confirm the flaring of a well a bit north of there, near the Hilltop Bar in the early 1980s.
Locals expressed concern over hydraulic fracturing,
There have been a couple of additional permits filed in Houston County near Lovelady - Burk Royalty with the Broxson #1, and LLOG with the Thompson Brothers A62. I'll have some check these sites out if anyone is interested.
I am a geologist working this area. The subject well is a direct twin of the Shell / Temple Industries / 1 drilled in 1970. The well was a dry hole, but later recompleted in the Travis Peak @ + 14,000' as a poorly producing gas well. In my opinion the Travis Peak is a non commercial reservoir in this area. Before abandoning this well, Shell perfed two sands between 18,300 and 19,100' and apparently tested non commercial. Several other sands had shows in this interval. I believe this section may be upper Bossier or perhaps Lower Cotton Valley. This is probably the objective for the new well. My guess is that the play is technology based, hinging on fracking multiple sands in the lower CV / Bossier. The people behind this project are not dummies and a successful well could run acreage prices up quickly. These guys are real contrarians, as gas prices don’t look too good for the near future and these wells must find huge reserves to pay out.
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…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
