North LA is asking the question that concerns us all. 4000 to 5000 barrels per day for the 10-11 wells is not a huge amount but would be very welcome. 4000 to 5000 barrels per day for each well would be a play maker of the first order. Hope the news next week from SWN will be positive.

The Sharp's IP was 800 boepd and 600 bbls of liquids. If they were able to duplicate those results in the Hollis vertical, Plum Creek 13, Plum Creek 23 and the Milstead 15, then those numbers don't seem so far fetched. SWN also has the Dean vertical, BML/Doles horizontals to add to the numbers as well as the potential for the Garrett horizontal.

Thanks! Important information to consider.

Your welcome, Dan. I am just guessing and have no idea if that is the case. It does seem like a possibility. I am looking forward to their completion of the Dean horizontal after they have gained more fracking knowledge through all the vertical fracs. Hopefully, we have answers this week.

we all hope for good news, but if it were 4-5m bbl per well per day, we would already know about it.  5m bbl per day would be at least 25 truck loads per day, or more than one per hour.  that much activity would be hard to keep quiet...

I was figuring the combined production of all the wells.

There were wells in the Austin Chalk back in the 90's that were kicking out over 4000 BOPD.

So the Plum Creek 13 has filed for allowables.  It reached TD in early November. http://sonlite.dnr.state.la.us/sundown/cart_prod/cart_con_wellinfo2...

That makes the McMahen, Hollis, and Plum Creek 13 definitely flowing back for this report. The Milstead reached TD early January and the Plum Creek 23 reached TD mid January, so does anyone have an idea if they are flowing back yet?

Milstead has a flare going.

Plum Creek 13 has been flared--not sure if it is now but has been.

A question....rumor that oil in lower smack. brown dense would be of such a low/poor

gravity in the southern Union County area that it would be too difficult to produce from the shale........thus,making it unlikely that SWE would renew any leases in this area.  Is this true?  Would SWE already know the gravity of the oil in this area before leasing?  So why

lease in the first place? Maybe a geologist or land man might help me on my thinking!!!

Jim, the Cabot Denny 1-32H in Union County (S32-19S-17W) reported API gravity of 35 degrees.  That's not poor quality as long as it does not also contain too much CO2 or H2S.  There is no way to know the gravity of oil until you produce it as far as I know.  In "tight" formations (low permeability) it is easiest for natural gas molecules to migrate through the pores in the rock and the fractures (natural and frack induced) to the wellbore.  They are small in size. The larger the molecule the more difficult.  So oil, particularly at lower gravities, has a harder time moving through a tight formation compared to higher gravity oil, condensate, NGLs and natural gas.  I think the issue is not quality.  I think it is how much of the hydrocarbon is "recoverable" from the formation.
