Angelina County Shalers.
BP just permitted their Trex Gas Unit #1H' in J. H. Finch survey, A-726. Adjoins west side of Black Stone Mineral's (previous EOG Resources) Sarge Unit. Of interest is the ~8000 feet horizontal lateral and 960 acre unit size. The primary Lessor is Black Stone Minerals (Energy) holding leases from various Angelina County Lumber Company Heirs. All this leasing occurred late last year.
Thanks to Jffree1 for alerting me to this new permit.

How big is the pad, Mike? The rig will skid or walk. Sidewinder has both but they don't list anything in the HA, generally, and nothing on that rig, in particular. The HA is nearly 15,000' in this location with ~10,000 # bottom hole pressure.
They spud two or three of the permitted SA wells with this rig several months ago. Lately they had it assigned in SA and reported it 'moving on' 7-15-16. Then it appeared as drilling in Angelina 3 days later. They may still have a snag with RRC on the SA wells. They had a couple of permits that were on hold for a spell.
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…
