Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on December 9, 2014 at 5:40 There has been no LSBD activity that I can find in the public record for many months. The Brown Dense page on the Southwestern website has not been updated since Feb. 28. SWN's Marcellus Shale acquisition appears to be their focus going forward. There is only one active LSBD permit remaining in AR and LA and that is for a Whiting well. It will expire in about two months. Whiting has acquired Bakken acreage that will be their focus going forward. I would not expect any of the companies to exercise lease extension clauses or permit any more wells. I think that the industry interest in N LA has shifted to Hosston and Cotton Valley combo wet gas wells.

All 3 of these were vertical wells. The Benson, completed 8/29/14, had an IP of 706 BOPD with no fracturing. I think SWN has a keen interest in this area and is trying to delineate its boundaries with their 3D seismic survey.

Permalink Reply by North LA on December 9, 2014 at 13:07 I know a guy that hunts in the area of seismic. He said it's been great for hunting because the deer are so used to explosions, helicopters, and trucks they don't run very far if he misses after the first shot.

I see that Urban Oil and Gas has recently completed (or maybe re-completed) several Cotton Valley wells in the Atlanta Field. I think these wells had IPs in the 30-60 bopd range. I wonder if this has anything to do with SWN's continuing interest in the area.

Permalink Reply by North LA on December 12, 2014 at 13:42 It appears the pressure is the secret ingredient for the Wildhorse wells, but I don't know that for sure.
Permalink Reply by obed w odom on December 12, 2014 at 15:07 I scrambled the location of the Hutcheson C 2-16. That should be section 16, T18S R19W

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near…

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 |
