What towns or communities are near this well?
The well is still currently the head of the class for all producing in Shelby County.
First turned to sales in Sept 2008 and has since produced just shy of 6.8 BCF with reports through October 2011. Peak month was Oct 2008 where it produced over 740,000 mcf for an average just shy of 25 mmcfd. Pretty strong numbers for a vertical completion.

Took another look at the completion reports for both that Oliver #4 and the Case #3 wells there in Shelby.
The formation records on both of them are showing the Pay Zone at approximately 12,000 to 12,100' deepth. They list do list shallower formations such as Pettet, James Lime, Travis Peak etc, but then only list Cotton Valley as the last formation logged at around 10,000' deep. No mention of Haynesville or Bossier so it the exclusion of those formations make it SEEM like the producing zones are in the shallower Cotton Valley B zone.
Comparing them to other more recent completions in that area, however, show that Cotton Valley B is at around 10,000', Bossier is at around 10,900, Haynesville at around 11,900 and then Cotton Valley Lime at around 12,050 and below.
That said, it seems pretty clear that these two wells are producing from the CV Lime below the Haynesville and Bossier.
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
