I thought I would focus attention on the following information from today's Tyler paper:

"Common Resources completed the Red River 877 Well No. 1 to 16,144 feet 2.2 miles southeast of Aiken in the Bossierville Field. On a 28/64-inch choke the well potentialed 7.235 million cubic feet of gas in the Bossier Shale formation."

This looks to be a good well in the Bossier Shale in Shelby County. Common Resources is in a joint venture in this area with Southwestern Energy which is the largest player in the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas. It is also confirmation of the TRRC's endorsment of the Bossierville Field name for a portion of the Bossier Shale play. Most of the play in Texas is designated North Carthage (Bossier Shale).

any update on this well ?
Bill, the well has produced the following volumes of gas:

Jan '09 - 23,369 Mcf
Feb '09 - 161,347 Mcf (~ 5.8 MMcfd)
i was doing some research and looking over some completion papers for this well as well as a couple others. what is intresting is the naming of "the geological markers" i am not sure, does the field refer to an area as in physical location are does it refer to a formation? note the same formation being called by different names.

i didnt mean to download the entire files, please see page 6 for the red river 877#1 and page three for the hughes#4

KJ, Texas uses a different approach than Louisiana. In Texas, the "Field" is a combination of area and formation. An example would be North Carthage (Bossier Shale) or Centerville (Haynesville). In Louisiana the "Field" is just the area (Caspiana, Sligo, Trenton, etc).
As a follow-up the well had a flowing tubing pressure of 2475 psia and shut-in wellhead pressure of 5807 psia. Also the gas composition was primarily methane w/ 2.3% CO2. The gross heating value was 992 Btu/Scf.
Les, is that good? i am questioning the use of the term cotten valley lime at 12134 vs haynesville lime at 12750. the RR877 also lists the bossier shale at 11097 as a geological marker. what is the purpose of these markers and why was the bossier shale omitted from the list on the hughes#4 ? these wells are about 5-6 miles apart north and south.

KJ, several operators have acknowledged that the Cotton Valley Lime is the same formation as the Haynesville Lime.

I believe the geologic markers are just general reference points for information. The operators do not necessarily list every formation penetrated by a well.
thank you very much, is that bossier shale the upper bossier shale?

The Lithium Connection to Shale Drilling

Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…
