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.

I wonder how far east? Still in Avoyelles? There are some permits to drill in west of Morganza on the Atchaflaya bordering St. Landry Parish.

Prime Energy's CEO spoke on their Board Room Radio and mentioned that their next well will be drilled east of the Deshotels 20H well starting in June and expect to drill a further well in 2012.

Guys, it's not a good idea to contact Woodland or any other broker/operator.  Much better to let them come to you.  If you contact them expect to get their lowest offer if they have any interest at all.  If your minerals are located where they are leasing they will get around to contacting you.

Does not sound encouraging, Robert.  You might try calling the Avoyelles clerk of court's office and they may be able to have a contact for you to Woodland.

Im hearing that Anadarco wells are not any good from TAGCO land leasing head guy. And that Anadarco has not budget any money for new leasing here in Avoyelles for 12. Are the wells here not good as he stated? Is there any other companies i can call to lease my LAnd In Cottonport? The Tagco guy says Woodland Petro is still leasing out of Lafayette. I cant find them on Google to call.

David,

Well, end of January has come, and we do not see a report out by Pryme. Hopefully soon we will all know.

Is there any new action associated with the Rabalais 35 with the flow testing?
