The well was spudded by Chevron in July 1979, finished drilling in April 1980 and were trying to target oil. The scout report doesn't provide much detail. They did have to side-track due to a stuck tool. The final depth was 14518. They perf'd the well at around 13000 feet, then at about 11250 feet, and spent several months trying to fracture the well. They'd get slight amounts of gas to the flare, but no oil and then plugged it. There is a line in the scout ticket that says "14489-14518 rec 29'sh, blk" Could mean recorded 29 feet of shale, black. Perhaps they hit the top of the Haynesville, but no way to be sure.

Thanks so much. Just what I wanted to know. We lived near that spot.
