Wells without permit?
Is it possible for wells to be drilled without a permit from the State of Louisiana? Might a company do this and pay a fine? Did this very thing happen in the earliest days of the Haynesville before the information became public?
I am just trying to see if the rumors I am hearing of three such wells have any possibility of fact.

Is it possible, yes. Is it likely, no. Operators can fudge certain regulations and go uncaught or if caught pay a relatively small fine. Drilling a well without a permit is not one. It would likely result in that operator not receiving any permits from the state for some period of time along with a fine. No operator in their right mind would risk that. The rumors are baseless IMO but then again 90% of "rumors" are false in part or in whole.

CM, it is not possible for companies to drill a well without a permit. There is no evidence of such an event in the early testing of the Haynesville Shale. Some companies did get in trouble 2-3 years ago for certain well preparation activities in advance of receiving a permit.
