W-1 Info:

Wildcat Well / Completion Depth at 12,300' - Total Depth 17,500'

They have a ton of legacy acreage HPB from shallow wells from late 90's through 2005 so it will interesting to see if they step it up further in getting into the game in E.Texas for Haynesville/Bossier play.

Slide from their last investor report (pg 79) says they have plans for 3-4 wells in the area for 2010.
