Rabalais Well in Odenburg production test about 7-10 days away
Turner Bayou Chalk Project Well Updates
Rabalais 35 No.1 (8.8% Working Interest / 6.6% NRI)
The Rabalais 35 No.1 well Odenburg (south of Simmesport), in the Turner Bayou Chalk project, is currently flowing back fluids injected into the well during completion and drilling mud. Flow back of these fluids is expected to be completed in the next 7-10 days at which time the hydrostatic head (load) will be off the formation and the well can be flow tested for production.
I have been speaking to Severval Minerial buyers for a friend of mines land. Prices have dropt and some are waiting to see what is going to come of the AC a little more solid info. One fellow said that Anadarco is noteven going to go into the TMC. Staying in AC. Dont know why.
Im hearing that Anadarco wells are not any good from TAGCO land leasing head guy. And that Anadarco has not budget any money for new leasing here in Avoyelles for 12. Are the wells here not good as he stated? Is there any other companies i can call to lease my LAnd In Cottonport? The Tagco guy says Woodland Petro is still leasing out of Lafayette. I cant find them on Google to call.
Does not sound encouraging, Robert. You might try calling the Avoyelles clerk of court's office and they may be able to have a contact for you to Woodland.
Guys, it's not a good idea to contact Woodland or any other broker/operator. Much better to let them come to you. If you contact them expect to get their lowest offer if they have any interest at all. If your minerals are located where they are leasing they will get around to contacting you.
Prime Energy's CEO spoke on their Board Room Radio and mentioned that their next well will be drilled east of the Deshotels 20H well starting in June and expect to drill a further well in 2012.
My wifes family signed a 3 yr. lease with Halcon last night 500 a acre and 25% roy. It is 32 acres in Fith Ward off Business Loop rd. They have interst in Sec. 26. at these time Time will tell.
Halcon is now leasing tracts around Marksville at 500 an acre and 25 percent. What is also interesting is that they appear to be leasing some smaller tracts of ten acres or so, not just the big land owners.
I am new to this stuff, but I am learning fast. West wind Explorations came and leased our land back in March for 400 an acre with 25% royalties. However we live in Texas, have never seen the land and still havent received a rental production order or anything to say they are drilling. The land is located in Avoyelles section 6&7 T2S R3E. Can we are planning a trip down and have been in touch with Mr. Dupree for a plat of the property. But someone told us they were drilling, can anyone living there confirm that for me?
KFH, no need to make the trip if you are willing to spend some time learning your way around the LA state O&G database, SONRIS. You will find the answer to most of your questions there. And from the comfort of your home easy chair and computer. There is no requirement in LA law for an operator to inform you of their intention to drill a well. You have to exercise some due diligence to track permitting and drilling on your minerals. Use this link to get started.
You are the man Skip! I really appreciate all your help. I cant say this will be the last time I will need your expertise! I will definitely look at this link and see what I can find out.
the paul 15h reached total depth on the 17th of may and set casing on the 19th. i don't know if everything was completed on this well and they moved that rig, or if another one was moved in. we will have to defer to an expert.
I am new on this part of the site but was wondering if anyone has information on the status of the Paul 15H. Are they still in the process of fracking? The 5/31/13 entry is the last one on the SONRIS site(listed below by David Crocket). Thanks in advance.
Anybody know anything about this well permitted 11/18/2014, by petro-guard, section 17, T25, R3E avoyelles parish number 248716 named VUA, Eola depth 9100 feet.
VUA is Voluntary Unit A. That means no force pooling necessary. All the mineral interests are leased and agreed to the formation of the unit. The target horizon is the Wilcox Sand.
The Martin Companies own forest lands and a lot of minerals across central LA. Their servitude and fee minerals are the base assets of Indigo Resources. Indigo is an active developer in NW LA drilling Haynesvlle Shale and Cotton Valley wells.
I have no idea, however we are near Evergreen and are leased. I have family there, and they tell me that the well near Goudeau is producing and there are two more permitted. Not sure if they are in Avoyelles or the tip of St. Laundry?
We have had a couple of offers to buy our Royalty interests (Certainly not interested in that!!) Also we got notice that someone was going to be doing more 3-D Seismograph work in our area and on our property. Certainly seems to be interest in Avoyelles, whether or not it comes to fruition, remains to be seen.
Thanks for the information i live in the DuPont area i am also lease and had plenty on offers to buy royalty not going to that either i did hear they had put 3-d on hold for now for what reason i don't know just waiting to see what happens
I see there was a new well permitted in avoyelles today by menoah petroleum. Says field 9709-wildcat-no la Monroe. Depth is 6800 feet. Serial number 250963. Range 4e, twn 4n section 21. Is that a Wilcox?
There is a new entry on serial 251564 dated 08/12/2019-Redrill of SN:154571;locate and dig up well on 7/5/19; cut csg and install wellhead on 7/6/19;finished installing wellhead on7/7/19 well name: AUS RA SUXX;Indigo Minerals
Present operator is re-entering the old Moncrief Martin deep well that was plugged in 2010 (SN 154571). Description in SONRIS is exactly what is saying, I.e. they found the plugged well location, dug down to expose the top cap on the casing, cut that off and installed a wellhead.
No new drilling (unless they deepen the original well). But they will have to drill out plugs that were set when the original well was P&A'd.
Figure they plan to perforate this old well bore at whatever level (assuming that casing has good cement behind pipe) and test that formation. This may include stimulation efforts.

Present operator is re-entering the old Moncrief Martin deep well that was plugged in 2010 (SN 154571). Description in SONRIS is exactly what is saying, I.e. they found the plugged well location, dug down to expose the top cap on the casing, cut that off and installed a wellhead.
Aug 18, 2019

So, they don't have to do any type of drilling or fracking, but just take over the old well?
Aug 18, 2019

No new drilling (unless they deepen the original well). But they will have to drill out plugs that were set when the original well was P&A'd.
Figure they plan to perforate this old well bore at whatever level (assuming that casing has good cement behind pipe) and test that formation. This may include stimulation efforts.
