I don't know much about Sabine County activity, I am only stating general knowledge about a play. As for all the well permits Intrepid is quoting: a permitted well might never be drilled, it has only been permitted to drill. Hopefully, they will all be drilled, but until the rig is on site, nothing is getting drilled. To assume a well is imminent based on a permit application is short sighted.

Has anyone heard of activity with BP in San Augustine County?

This is from the East Texas Drilling Report in the Tyler Paper. More good news for Shelby and San Augustine Counties:
San Augustine County

In a lease 6 miles northwest of San Augustine, in the Angie (James Lime) Field, the Jacquelyn Bright Gas Unit Well No. 2H will be drilled by Cabot Oil & Gas. This well will hit 9,000 feet in the Holman, S Survey, A-135.


Cabot Oil & Gas will drill the John Oglesbee, Jr. Well No. 2H in the Angie (James Lime) Field. This well is 4.3 miles northwest of San Augustine in the Cartwright, T Survey, A-85 to 8,500 feet.


Shelby County

XTO Energy will drill the Hearnsberger Gas Unit Well No. 1 to 14,000 feet in a wildcat field. This well is 12.8 miles southwest of Center in the Hill, W Survey, A-282. It may be drilled in the Stockman (Cotton Valley) Field, the Stockman, South (Travis Peak) Field or the Stockman, South (Pettit) Field.


The Wheeler Well No. 6 and the Wheeler Well No. 8 will be drilled in the Stockman (Travis Peak) Field by Encore Operating. The No. 6 is 8.9 miles southeast of Center. The No. 8 is 9.1 miles southeast of Center. Both wells will hit 9,000 feet in the Hooper, R Survey, A-356 and may also be drilled in the Stockman (Pettit-Lower) Field.

ogmladvisor, so you think we may not even see a new permit in Sabine until when? late summer '09?

And have some leases which are older than that.

Just because a company leased some minerals doesn't mean it is ready to drill. Many things have to take place before a rig can be moved in, including leasing offset acreage, surveying, and having attorneys render title opinions...just to name a few. In a new lease play like Sabine County, I would say drilling the first well within one year of the first lease taken by a company would be a daunting task. So why is Cabot able to drill so many wells in SA County? They have been here for two years longer than everyone else.

CL, I think that things will start happening in Sabine County fairly soon. A good amount of acreage has been leased up all across the Northern part of both counties. I can only assume this is because they have better data on these areas. If and when thay get good results farther south of these areas they will start drilling more.

ALongview,
Thanks for the response. Do you have any opinions on why the acreage is under lease but no drilling permits to speak of in Sabine County? The concentration appears to be directly below the NW SA county line and across the immediate northern part of the SA county line with Cabot wells being drilled further south of the SA county line. THe OG's are definitely working their way from west to the east and directly below the SA county line.

Cheerleader, Devon, Encana, and EOG hold positions in Sabine County according to county records. There are others but these hold pretty good size leases. EOG holds acreage closer to the county line with San Augustine in the Northern part of the county.
