The wells being drilled now in Sabine Parish in 7N 12W by Ensight the Blakely and the Iron Horse by GEP are similar to the western Haynesville Texas wells. In that the Haynesville in this area is deeper and should have higher pressures and temperatures. And word on the ground is that they are both making good wells.

Thanks for the update.  I must admit to being somewhat surprised of rumors that these are good Haynesville wells.  My confusion may stem from the nomenclature.  As the Haynesville Shale dips southward leaving DeSoto Parish and entering north Sabine it is thinning and picking up more contaminants - H2S and CO2.  Early wells proved that by commingling production from two Bossier wells with one Haynesville well, the contaminants could be diluted enough to not require treatment to meet pipeline specs.  Avoiding that added expense.  Obviously the longer term problem would be running out of Bossier wells before drilling all the Haynesville wells.  If the "Haynesville" wells in 7 North are good wells, it is highly likely that they are not Haynesville wells, they are Bossier wells.  This can be confusing as all Haynesville drilling units include the Bossier in their depth definitions and all the wells are designated Haynesville.

7 North wells are considerably further south than those north Sabine wells.

Yes I agree I think these are probably Bossier wells.  And it may be thinner but deeper and over pressured.  I am anxious to see official data on them but I do believe my info on them being good wells is accurate.

If indeed Mid-Bossier, the wells could be quite good.  The follow up question would be, is the location a single bench?  Bossier but no Hayensville and thus half the number of wells as units further north with both economic Haynesville and Bossier.

 The IP for the Iron Horse well in the Many Pendleton Field Sabine parish was just posted.  Looks very encouraging.

Thanks, the IP does look encouraging.  The choke setting is not surprising for a typical long lateral well in clean up mode. The next question will be the decline.  I'm thinking this is a Mid-Bossier completion.  We'll have to wait to see the landing zone.

Yes and also only 7,258  interval with only 52 frac stages.
