SWN permitted the L SMK RA SUA; Doles 30 -22- 1W #1-Alt, S30 - 22N - 1W, Ora Field, Union Parish today. The first alternate well is an indication that SWN now believes they have an area of focus to prove the Brown Dense economic.

Permalink Reply by obed w odom on June 27, 2012 at 17:45    As Ed said, this alternate well looks to have around a 9000' or greater proposed lateral and to be only 760 feet from the western boundary of section 30, whereas the alternate unit SWN applied for on April 23, 2012 was due north of the BML well, only about 750 feet from the eastern boundary and confined to section 30. Maybe they will drill this shorter alternate later, but this current alternate will span 2 sections, which seems to signify some degree of confidence on the part of SWN in its success.

Permalink Reply by obed w odom on June 28, 2012 at 3:13    Skip, the previous alternate unit well application is given in the thread under this discussion entitled "Alternate well-ORA Field," posted by Mr. C on April 26, 2012. This thread gives 3 pdf scans as attachments, which show the application for the alternate unit well and plat. I am trying to give a link to the plat below, but it may not work.

I wish the Office of Conservation would make note in the public hearing schedule when they allow unit applications to be amended at the last minute but they do not. Compare the unit application plat in your link above with what was actually approved as Field Order 136-C-2, link follows. Thanks for reminding me of the previous application.

Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on June 28, 2012 at 10:22    Bobbie, to get accurate replies it is advisable to learn the section-township-range location of your LA. property as that is how the state tracks O&G development activity. Lockhart, LA looks to be in Sections 4 & 5 of Township 23 North, Range 2 West. We would write that S4&5-23N-2W. Sections 1 & 12 of 23N - 2W are a SWN proposed unit in the Bayou De Loutre Field for the L SMK formation. The simple way and inexpensive way for mineral owners to track activity and tell where it is located is by ordering, The Roads Of Louisiana, Updated & Approved, from Mapsco. Last I looked this map in book form was $19.95 plus shipping. The map overlays roads and places with their section-township-range.

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…

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.
