Does anyone know anything about the seismic trucks parked on Hwy 96 south of San Augustine - where they are working and what company? Also does anyone know who owns the yellow and white helicopter visiting San Augustine and Sabine Counties regularly and if it is mapping or seismic related?

ION Deploying FireFly to East Texas on Behalf of BP
Saturday, April 18, 2009

ION Geophysical Corporation announces that a 6,100 station FireFly(R) system will be utilized by BP America Production Company to undertake two high channel count, multicomponent (full-wave) seismic acquisition programs in northeast Texas. The projects are expected to begin in May 2009 and be completed by the end of the year.

Jim Hollis, President and Chief Operating Officer at ION, commented, "We are delighted that BP has commissioned another series of FireFly surveys, their first using Version 2.0 of the system. As many of you recall, BP was one of our field trial partners for the first-ever deployment of FireFly in November 2006. They are as familiar as anyone with the system and believe there are benefits to using FireFly to image a complex subsurface in this challenging acquisition environment. We expect that our VectorSeis(R) full-wave sensor will allow BP to optimally image unconventional reservoir targets, including portions of the Haynesville shale resource play, while the cableless architecture of FireFly should allow the seismic contractor to efficiently acquire the needed seismic data in an area interspersed with farms, forests, swamps, road crossings, and active mining operations. Should these surveys go well, we believe that additional FireFly-enabled projects may emerge in this area over the next 12-18 months. I should also add that this will be the first deployment of FireFly in which vibroseis will serve as the energy source."

Dawson Geophysical, Inc., America's leading provider of onshore seismic data acquisition services, was awarded the contract to acquire the data on these projects by BP.

My goodness if the O&G companies listened to Jurassic Exploration San Augustine and Sabine County would be covered up with rigs right now. I am not in the O&G business but they have made a believer out of me...haha

Has anyone heard of the depths or the pressures of the wells in East Texas being a problem for drillers? Also has anyone heard anything new on the KVG #3 or the Blm well that St Mary is drilling right now? Any thoughts as to why they are drilling only verticals into the shale in San Augustine to this point?

More from poster Jurassic Exploration on OilVoice.

Haynesville Shale Could Save A Public Oil and Gas Company
With the cost of drilling and completion down some 40-50% and the reserve potential of 6.5-10 BCF/well potential for the Haynesville Shale could be what every public company needs today in order to survive these tuff times. If any of the companies that have any credit or cash dont find a way into this play, they might not be around in the future. This type of play is what everyone is looking for from an investment stand point. It does not take a Rocket Scientist to see all of the profit potential that this play has today.Its the hottest play in the USA.


Major Pipeline Needed for Southern Part of Haynesville Shale
There will be a need for a major pipeline for the southern part of the Haynesville shale for Sabine and San Augustine counties. There will be several thousand wells drilled with huge recoveries from The Haynesville Shale and all the other multiple potential oil and gas zones that are present.

JWC, Whoever it is......I like 'em!

Wish I knew ALongview. I have no idea.

Who is the person that posts all this great info about San
Augustine and Sabine Counties? Any insight as to how they know all this?

OilVoice strikes again:

Haynesville Shale Alive and Well - Barnett Shale About Dead
The companies that were drilling in the Barnett Shale need to pack up and move to the Haynesville Shale ASAP. This is the only play that makes any sense with todays prices of natural gas. The best play is in the southern part where it is deep. There should be larger recoveries in the deeper part of this very interesting play. Shell and Encana are in the deeper part of Louisiana.Sabine and San Augustine counties of Texas will prove to be very productive in the near future in the Haynesville Shale.

Who is the person that keeps posting on oilvoice in regards to San Augustine and Sabine Counties? Do they have an inside/professional knowledge? I love hearing it but am just curious.
