Steve,
All that sounds great and from what I hear there may be activity picking up in W.Feliciana. Where did you get that quote from Kirk?
The SLC well may be the one to change the focus towards the west.
I think these recent comments from geologist Kirk Barrel are encouraging for us in W. Fel.
He believes a telling production metric is developing in regard to the effects of thickness of the TMS pay zone in different areas. West Feliciana has a relatively thick TMS pay zone compared to most other areas. Additionally the TMS is deeper in W. Fel. which means a higher gas to oil ratio(GOR) and less clay/more calcite - higher GOR is good to a point because increased gas helps push the oil through the rock and to the surface, potentially increasing flow rates and/or reducing decline rates. Increased calcite means potentially easier to frack and potentially a better natural fractured matrix in the rock. All of this is untested yet since we haven't had but on well so far (Murphy drilled by Devon 2 years ago near the Ms. line)
Kirk says:
“With a net pay of 75' (GDP's recent Nunnery well), this result is not only expected, but good for the pay thickness. The GDP Lewis 30-19H-1 has 110' of net pay and had an initial potential of 1450 boepd.”
“The net pay in the Beech Grove of 95' will not likely compare in result with the SLC 81H-1 (157')”
Field Order 1364-D creates TMS RA SUA and TMS RA SUB in the Spillman Field. At the time of the order TMS RA SUA in the NE Spillman Field was proposed and pending but not yet approved as noted on the unit plat. In LA the unit naming system indicates the formation/zone, in this case Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS). The RA signifies Reservoir A. SUA is Sand Unit A indicating the first unit for the TMS RA established in a field.
See if this looks familiar:

How long ago was "a while back"?
The History of GoHaynesvilleShale.com
GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention. The website was the brainchild of Keith Mauck, a landowner and entrepreneur who recognized a pressing need: landowners in the region had little access to…

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 |
