Can some tell us what the spacing/acreage requirements are for a vertical Chalk well are?

 

Thanks

This State Mineral Lease Auction includes Mississippi River bottom lands from near Bayou Sara (adjacent to St. Francisville) down to near the Profit Island area (just S of Port Hudson).  The distance is approximately 12 miles of River bottom.

Abington,

If it is true and If it was an open hole completion then it could be re-drilled. If its a lined hole I'm not sure what can be done other than to sand or gravel pack it. That amounts to a mini-frack job. That may open the formation enough to get production back.

Sorry, yes it is in Cenla. It was the attorney of an adjacent landowner who did not tell the exact location. But it is a horizontal. He was not sure it it was true either. 

But If it is true. What happens. They drill again?  Would it be just a setback that will be overcome?

littleasy,

I think he is referring to Cenla. I think Cenal is a typo.

The 'Chenal' well - when was it drilled (well #?) and was it H or V into the AC.

Abington,

When did you hear that rumor and where is the well? If this is true then its a fear that I've had for a very long time.

I was told years ago by an old friend that after production begins the chalk formation could collapse and choke the well. He also told me how to keep it from happening. He was a very small independent operator that could not get there from here but he had a drilling plan for the chalk.

Rumors sometimes should not be repeated, so forgive me for putting this out if it is not true. The word of late, not official, is that an AC well in Cenal was looking very promising with 3k barrels, but then it collapsed. I have no idea what that means, nor, if it is even true.  Lots of misinformation out there, and I guess I should not repeat it.

Regional differences will be discovered, like the salt movement that caused the Port Hudson domal structure. What is learned about this area will be the subject of future articles and drilling programs. I wouldn't extrapolate too far in any direction. IMHO, don't forget the TMS and other potential formations in the area.

Steve, I think you are getting ahead of yourself. Until there is drilling we don't know what the true prospects are. That will be determined as this develops. Just hang in there.
