Possible new rig up by Serial 239677Whitney Corp 28H 004/Status of present rig?
In negotiating with EOG/Whitney regarding access to my land for a water intake pipe to get water from Toledo Bend I got the following impressions:
Ellora Oil is considered an "ugly stepsister" in the area. I take it they no longer have the rig that is currently up along the lake just north of Fisherman's Wharf in the Bear Creek area? Does anyone know who has that rig and what it's status is? Do they have any gas flow or are they still drilling down?
Another rig may be operating in the area soon. I think they might want my water access for that one. When I asked about more rigs going in I got the impression they were waiting on the present rig to yield a good flow. Once that happened "a forest of new derricks could dot the landscape." The term "forest" was used by the Whitney guy in talking to me.
The owner of the Jolly Roger Marina told me that further north at Cow Bayou a well has gone in and it is a really big producer.
Any information on that area along the lake would be helpful. Anyone else hear of Whitney putting in another rig up there soon? And just what is the status of Ellora--the "ugly step sister?"
Kurt.

Ok. There appears to be some controversy between you and Skip Peel in regard to frac'ing in this area. Perhaps they will revisit me on another well or "pad drilling'" mode time. Maybe I should have held out for a bit more but at least I doubled the amount they were originally going to pay out. I am ready willing and able to carry water in the future. Who knows what will come of it? Thanks for all your advice. Ditto to Skip.

No controversy, Kurt. Just differences of opinion. Much of what is needed to answer your question definitively is not presently known. And that is, will the HA wells within reasonable proximity of your lake tract be economic? The answer to that question will come with well completions in the not too distant future. If your area is economic, IMO there will be a significant business opportunity based on affordable fresh water. If you would like to get an idea of the value of water in drilling HA wells, I suggest that you drive Hwy. 175 between I-49 and Mansfield. It'll knock your socks off. LOL!

Kurt, EOG has already drilled the Whitney Corp 2 #H1 Well in the area and is currently drilling the following well:
Nabors #775 Rig, EOG, Whitney Corp 33 #H1 Well, Serial #240466, S28(33)-T10N-R14W
It seems as those Ellora has some agreement in place for EOG to drill the wells in this area. EOG is definitely increasing their activity in the Haynesville Shale. -

Les B. You are right on! I just got the agreement for water access from EOG and it says 10 inch irrigation pipe to Whitney Corp 33A#1 well. A 21 day period. After that they are either gone or I have the right to halt all pumping. Do you know where this well might be? It must be rather close to my land or do these pipes snake for many miles? I just want to establish a relationship with them but hope to negotiate a longer access agreement in future with an attorney. Kurt.

Whitney Corp 33#H1 Well, Serial #240466 is about 1.7 miles from the property, more or less. -

Hi, Brian. I know exactly where that well is because I saw the rig from the highway in December. I did not go into the land because the road was bad. J. W. wants to sell but wants 80K. I told him I did not have the money. He is sitting tight for now.
I don't really know the status of state ownership around Bear Creek. I do wish you luck. Let's keep in touch.
