Bosco,

Have you looked at the well log for API 455-30375 ? That well appears to have produced 800,000 MCF, and 11,000 bbls of oil or condensate with fairly limited acidizing job - 500 gallons of 7.5% HCl.
Log is available through the RRC - http://rrcsearch.neubus.com/esd-rrc/index.php?subaction=1&show_...

Yes, I know that well and I have a log on it....it is a conventional, decent looking Woodbine Sand with high resistivity. Right now I am working on the Range Horizontal well in Walker County. I have the directional survery and  two offsetting logs. the drainhole appears to be about 100' above the Buda in some nasty looking sandy shale or shaley sand with low resistivity. If this makes a well, it will open some eyes because the verticle logs looks pretty poor, averaging about 7.5 ohms, 10 max. It could be thinly laminated sands.....but it is plus or minus 850' beneath the base of the Austin Chalk....If Range makes a decent well here, there should be 1000's of wells to drill because there is nothing special, or apparently special about the log character...A good well here would blow up Trinity and northern Polk...maybe..Thanks of the info dbob.....if you see something on the Leor well please let me know.....i have some interest in that area...Thanks much!! Bosco

I'm not getting any more word out of the area right now. It might be worth it to take in a 6 man football game in the near future and see if I can learn something on the ground. You gotta know there is some guy in Houston who knows the answers who is chuckling over this conversation.

Do you think they got the point across?  LOL, the well has not been completed yet!

Boscoe,jffree

  Have you noted that the Apollo Gibbs Bros. 1H is now drilling 13 miles N of Huntsville ?

  Is it an offset to the East of the Range Well ?

DH,

I don't have Dist. 3 on my report so someone else will have to help with that.  I did look up the location and the Appollo well is just about two miles east of the Range well in J.J. Sanchez.

My question... who is Apollo?

They have an address in Lake Charles and they have a Wildcat well, 471-30022 Gibbs Brothers B-1 Unit #1, that was P&A'd 1-24-78 and reentered by Infinity Energy Operating Co. LLC in 2009.  It is on the schedule to be plugged and has an extension to Oct. 2012.

The Apolllo well is permitted as a horizontal Georgetown well. Attached is a plat. The westernmost horiz well is Range, the middle is Apollo and the easternmost is an old Anadarko well which produced 540,921  MCF from the James Lime and still makes 133 mcf a day. The elephant in the room is the price of gas, which has defied all predicitons and fallen to a level well below the cost of production. All of these shale / carbonate unconventional gas plays are dead at curent gas prices and the NYMEX futures look reallly bad. I look for some big redeployment of leasing and drilling budgets. Trinity and Polk Counties north of the Edwards Reef Trend is exclusively gas.

Range thinks the Eaglebine in the Gibbs area will be liquids rich. If not, that play will take some time to take off. For me the GOR on the GIbs well is more important than the rate. It takes time and an learning curve to get the fracs right in a new area, but one can not change the GOR.
