One of the parcels that is coming up in the State Lease sale tomorrow is adjacent to the Port Hudson field that BP is selling to Hilcorp. It will be interesting to see if there is a bidding battle on that tract.

Not a very encouraging article for those of us north of St. Francisville hoping for an AC well. Sounds like Anadarko read this article before they started drilling. lol

In TX and Western LA - North of shelf edge

As you move East, it tends to be on the shelf and South within a relatively narrow band.

 

"Tremendous expansion in the immediately underlying Tuscaloosa clastics influenced normal faulting and associated fracturing in the Austin chalk. In theory, these extension fractures would be most concentrated at points nearest to the shelf edge and would diminish toward the basin."

This interpretation is from a 1997 O&G Journal article.  I would think that the full story is yet to be written.

Thanks . Do you know if the area north of the shelf is also prospective for the AC? I notice that Anadarko's wells so far are all south of the shelf.

Bayou Sara - essentially on LK shelf edge or slightly South
Fancy Point Towhead - South by approx. 4 mi

JJA Miss. Bridge is roughly equidistant between the two areas.

Wouldn't a Bayou Sara or Fancy Point Towhead AC well be the 1st AC wells above the Lower Cretaceous Shelf margin?

oops, you are correct it should be WF. Sorry about that.

Bayou Sara and Fancy Point Towhead are in/adjacent to West Feliciana.
