AIX Vertical Wells in East Haynesville Field

AIX has within the last few months permitted 9 vertical wells in Township 23N Range 7W (East Haynesville Field) of Claiborne Parish, 8 of which were permitted or drilled to a depth sufficient to test the Brown Dense (see the "LSBD wells as of 2-3-2012" discussion in this group.)

Completion results have been reported at SONRIS Lite for 3 of these wells and perforation data reported for a 4th. Interestingly, each of these 4 wells seems to have been completed or perforated in a different formation or zone. The Hardin #1 was completed at 10430'-10520' in the Upper Smackover A zone; the Hardin #2 was completed at 10132'-10247' in the Haynesville sand; the Garrett L&T was completed at 11442'-11475' in the Lower Smackover; and the Camp et al. #1 has been perforated at 10876'-10940', which looks like the Upper Smackover C zone.

It must be nice for the operator to have so many zones from which to choose!

If I'm reading this right, 6.5 MMCFD from around 250' of perfs is a pretty cotton picken good gas well.  Is this from the BD, or the Haynesville Sand?  And if it is, then great, just what we needed, another gas field...

Now you see why there have been so many Haynesville Sand wells drilled in this part of N LA.  The H Sand is a typical conventional reservoir.  A great well here, a so-so well a mile away and a dry hole another mile away.  Actually really good wells such as this one are in the minority, most are average and a relatively small percent are dry holes.  The AIX wells are good examples of this trend.  Considering the modest well cost a really good well such as this can make up for a bunch of modest producers.  Now we'll see if AIX can step out and repeat this well.  Hopefully the official completion report will reveal some liquids.

Is the gas from this zone typically dry, or does it have a higher BTU?

Depends on depth.  I'd have to look at production from wells in the vicinity but generally dry.  The problem with SONRIS Lite IP data is that they often exclude liquids if the well is classified as gas.  You have to go to the official completion report in the SONRIS Classic database.  It was not available the last time I looked.

Using the well serial number pull up the permit on SONRIS Classic.  It will list the permitted horizon.

Anyone heard anything on AIX of late?  Their drilling program appears to have slowed since the summer and the rumor of Florida Power ceasing to fund development.
