Well if this play doesn't work out no one can say they didn't try.

Skip, do you think WLL will use this well to kick off? It looks like the casing is the right size. They drilled into the LSBD so maybe they liked what they saw.

It looks like they drilled it in 11 days and spent some time on bottom looking at the LSBD. I hope WLL will show the others how to drill an LSBD well.

They could go horizontal but the perforated interval seems quite thin in the vertical wellbore.

It looks like the perfs are in the upper SMK or the HA sand.

Don't have time to confirm at this time but that wouldn't be a surprise.  As I have said, I think WLL will look at a number of prospective formations in the vertical section of their L SMK permitted wells.

Tony, the link you gave shows that WLL is now the operator of the Langford #1, having taken over from AIX on 5/9/2013, so they could well be planning to kick off from this well. The well log for this well is available at SONRIS:

http://ucmwww.dnr.state.la.us/ucmsearch/Doctypes.aspx

Select "Well permit to drill amend" as Document Type, then enter well serial # (244830) and check "get associated documents", then click "Search".

The log apparently shows that the well was logged to 11462 feet and was fracked just below 11450 feet.

Thanks O.W.,

WLL states in their unit application that the LSBD as being between 11,277' to 11,946" in the Langford #1 well. So AIX did frac the LSBD?

That's the way I read the log, but the well was later plugged back to 11,350' and perforated from 10,480'-10550'. Maybe someone else should take a look at the log.

I don't disagree. I can't read a log. It looks like WLL has almost 700' of the BD thickness to decide where to place the lateral.

I don't think I read the log correctly. The notations that I thought indicated fracs were really FRAO10, FRAO20, FRAO30, and FRAO60, which apparently are some measures of the resistivity. So I should just say that the well was logged to 11462 feet and not say more unless and until I learn to read well logs.

I wonder why they did not log the complete LSBD interval ?
