A place for discussion of oil and gas mineral activity in Avoyelles Parish which sits over the Austin Chalk, Tuscaloosa Trend and other formations.
Location: Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana

Latest Activity: Jan 21, 2021
The earliest record of a permit for an oil well in Avoyelles Parish is June 19, 1920 for the Bordelon well near Goudeau. Only four wells were permitted in Avoyelles in the 1920s, with two near Cocoville and one near Fifth Ward, In 1933 the Haas oil field was discovered south of Bunkie which set off an oil boom in this part of the parish. The Haas field still produces oil today. In the 1960s, there were several wells permitted during a second oil boom for the parish. In the 1970s, much of the parish was leased for the Tuscaloosa Trend which did not fan out. In 2009, drilling began in the deeper Austin Chalk formations, with exploration of the Tuscaloosa Shale coming soon. GEOLOGICAL LAYORS BENEATH AVOYELLES: Frio ~3,000 feet; Sparta at about 6.500 ft.; Wilcox ~12,000 feet; Austin Chalk ~15,300 feet; Eagle Ford ~15,800 feet; TMS below Eagle Ford.

Menoah permit depth is Lower Wilcox. In far north part of the Parish. Permit surrounded by multiple Wilcox dry holesx
I see there was a new well permitted in avoyelles today by menoah petroleum. Says field 9709-wildcat-no la Monroe. Depth is 6800 feet. Serial number 250963. Range 4e, twn 4n section 21. Is that a Wilcox?
preston,
I have no idea, however we are near Evergreen and are leased. I have family there, and they tell me that the well near Goudeau is producing and there are two more permitted. Not sure if they are in Avoyelles or the tip of St. Laundry?
We have had a couple of offers to buy our Royalty interests (Certainly not interested in that!!) Also we got notice that someone was going to be doing more 3-D Seismograph work in our area and on our property. Certainly seems to be interest in Avoyelles, whether or not it comes to fruition, remains to be seen.
The Martin Companies own forest lands and a lot of minerals across central LA. Their servitude and fee minerals are the base assets of Indigo Resources. Indigo is an active developer in NW LA drilling Haynesvlle Shale and Cotton Valley wells.
I see that they are actually re-entering serial number 154571 for the Avoyelles well that was permitted today

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 |
