Wilma Watts posted this under "Crimson Presentation Gives Gammage Estimate" but I wanted to post it on the SA County comment page.

Jurassic Exploration:

Three Most Active Texas Counties For Haynesville Shale
Shelby, Sabine, San Augustine counties are seeing alot of exploration activity as to the Haynesville shale.Rumor has it that Chesapeake and Petrohawk have drilled in Shelby county 2 excellant wells horizontal in the Haynesville shale. The information has not been officially reported, but should be soon.Crimson has made a public statement that the James Lime section cored in the well they are drilling now in San Augustine with Devon as the operator was very promising. This well is located due east of City limits of San Augustine, Texas. All of the stacked pay zones that are present, makes these 3 counties very popular. Its looking like a mirror to the Barnett shale moving south more and more as drilling continues. IP's are probably going to increase as time goes on in these counties. There will be alot more rigs moving to these 3 counties very soon. The boom is on now!

Just curious. I wonder how far south the leasing has gone? What is the name of the survey fatherest south that a company has leased on? Wondering where they stopped.

HOUSTON, Aug. 12 – Devon Energy Corp., Oklahoma City, is drilling the Kardell-1 Jurassic Haynesville exploratory well in San Augustine County, Tex.

Log analysis while drilling through the Cretaceous James lime formation at 8,000 ft was encouraging, said 50% interest owner Crimson Exploration Inc., Houston.

The vertical pilot well is at 13,000 ft going to 13,500 ft. Cores are to be taken in Middle Bossier, James lime, and Haynesville shale before the horizontal section is drilled, probably in late October or early November.

The Common Resources Red River 164 well is 2.3 miles SW of Tavener. Where exactly is Tavener?

A good well completion beats hoping any day. Congratulations San Augustine County.

A little hope is a good thing. Just not what sound business decisions should be based on. Hope but maintain a healthy dollop of skepticism. Patience and a little improvement in the price of natural gas is what the whole play needs. Especially E. TX. Good Luck.

Skip, You are correct in your suggestion to be cautious about companies and websites with flashy claims of success. They are hopingthat their claims are correct so that they can capitalize on leases they have purchased. This particular situation is no different. They need these big operators to come in to the areas that they are touting because they don't have the kind of capital it takes to drill these wells on their own. They may have been drilling shallow oil wells a few years ago under a different name but this is a whole new ballgame with $8m wells and 25% royalty, not to mention bonuses in the thousands per acre. The well capitalized operators are setting the market in the haynesville and the small guys get left out if they didn't hold acreage already by production. With all that I have learned from people like you and jffree1 on this site, I feel like I have a much better chance at success in this crazy game. Thanks for the good advice but I gotta hope some too : ) !!!!!
