Hi ! Haynesville Shale "Motherload" people
[aka San Augustine Group]
I have ask numerous times about Cabot's Catherine Von Goetz #3 and the Cowboy's well in the J.J. Hennis Survey without a response. No news is good news!!!
Hey ya'll. Not much to report. The KVG #3 is a good well, but I think Cabot will team up with someone who can do the horizontal thing for them. I don't know when that will happen. That is what I am gathering. As far as the Cowboy Unit, I heard they were out of money. Slow and steady at this point. Take care.
St Mary just permitted another well at 13000 ft. just at the San Augustine /Shelby County line. This is just North of the Quirk Survey line and just North of the Haynesville well they just announced the other day. Looks like they are focusing a little more on their Texas acreage in San Augustine and Shelby Counties than they have in the past.
Hey Cheerleader, my inside guy said he would tell me but he would have to kill me, etc. So I think that is nothing but great news. There seems to be a geological confluence that is rare in this area and alot of folks are very excited about it. Sorry I cannot be more specific. This area is hot. Stay tuned.
Thanks Lessor,
Oil Voice.com was right last July!!!! San Augustine County is the MotherLoad of the Haynesville Shale!!
MotherLoad! MotherLoad! MotherLoad!
I agree FindMyOil....I honestly believe from maps I have seen that almost all of SA County is in the play. I sure would like for them to start moving a little more South and see what is down there.....at least down to 103.

Operators Scrambling For Southern Haynesville Acreage
It appears that the southern part of the Haynesville Shale play has operators scrambling for a piece of the great southern gas potential in Sabine Parish,La and Sabine Co,Texas. The drilling rigs are moving in a southwestern direction developing this shale from Desota Parish, La. The Barnett Shale play developed in a similiar direction as the Haynesville is being devoloped now.
Haynesville Shale Alive and Well - Barnett Shale About Dead
The companies that were drilling in the Barnett Shale need to pack up and move to the Haynesville Shale ASAP. This is the only play that makes any sense with todays prices of natural gas. The best play is in the southern part where it is deep. There should be larger recoveries in the deeper part of this very interesting play. Shell and Encana are in the deeper part of Louisiana.Sabine and San Augustine counties of Texas will prove to be very productive in the near future in the Haynesville Shale
Who is the person that keeps posting on oilvoice in regards to San Augustine and Sabine Counties? Do they have an inside/professional knowledge? I love hearing it but am just curious.

Haynesville Shale Could Save A Public Oil and Gas Company
With the cost of drilling and completion down some 40-50% and the reserve potential of 6.5-10 BCF/well potential for the Haynesville Shale could be what every public company needs today in order to survive these tuff times. If any of the companies that have any credit or cash dont find a way into this play, they might not be around in the future. This type of play is what everyone is looking for from an investment stand point. It does not take a Rocket Scientist to see all of the profit potential that this play has today.Its the hottest play in the USA.
Major Pipeline Needed for Southern Part of Haynesville Shale
There will be a need for a major pipeline for the southern part of the Haynesville shale for Sabine and San Augustine counties. There will be several thousand wells drilled with huge recoveries from The Haynesville Shale and all the other multiple potential oil and gas zones that are present.
Has anyone heard of the depths or the pressures of the wells in East Texas being a problem for drillers? Also has anyone heard anything new on the KVG #3 or the Blm well that St Mary is drilling right now? Any thoughts as to why they are drilling only verticals into the shale in San Augustine to this point?
My goodness if the O&G companies listened to Jurassic Exploration San Augustine and Sabine County would be covered up with rigs right now. I am not in the O&G business but they have made a believer out of me...haha
ION Deploying FireFly to East Texas on Behalf of BP
Saturday, April 18, 2009
ION Geophysical Corporation announces that a 6,100 station FireFly(R) system will be utilized by BP America Production Company to undertake two high channel count, multicomponent (full-wave) seismic acquisition programs in northeast Texas. The projects are expected to begin in May 2009 and be completed by the end of the year.
Jim Hollis, President and Chief Operating Officer at ION, commented, "We are delighted that BP has commissioned another series of FireFly surveys, their first using Version 2.0 of the system. As many of you recall, BP was one of our field trial partners for the first-ever deployment of FireFly in November 2006. They are as familiar as anyone with the system and believe there are benefits to using FireFly to image a complex subsurface in this challenging acquisition environment. We expect that our VectorSeis(R) full-wave sensor will allow BP to optimally image unconventional reservoir targets, including portions of the Haynesville shale resource play, while the cableless architecture of FireFly should allow the seismic contractor to efficiently acquire the needed seismic data in an area interspersed with farms, forests, swamps, road crossings, and active mining operations. Should these surveys go well, we believe that additional FireFly-enabled projects may emerge in this area over the next 12-18 months. I should also add that this will be the first deployment of FireFly in which vibroseis will serve as the energy source."
Dawson Geophysical, Inc., America's leading provider of onshore seismic data acquisition services, was awarded the contract to acquire the data on these projects by BP.
Does anyone know anything about the seismic trucks parked on Hwy 96 south of San Augustine - where they are working and what company? Also does anyone know who owns the yellow and white helicopter visiting San Augustine and Sabine Counties regularly and if it is mapping or seismic related?
Once again from Oilvoice:
Haynesville Shale Guarded Drilling Location in Shelby County, Texas
I was informed by a friend of mine that he was denied entrance by a security guard on an EOG drilling location northeast of Center, Texas. When they start drilling in the southern part of the play in Sabine and San Augustine counties, they might even have a tank or two helping guard those Haynesville and Bossier drill sites. Chesapeake Exploration,LLC has over 5,000 acres leased in North Sabine County. They should be developing these minerals very soon. Devon is getting closer to developing their acreage as well in the same area.
From Jurassic Exploration
I really hope he/she is right. Very exciting!
They are doing the work for Seitel. I signed for Seitel (TGC)to do the 3D test on my land and now have signed for Cougar Land Services to do a 2D wireless test on my place also.
Alongview,
Instead of "Oil Voice" we should call the source
"Deep Throat". We don't know who they are but we love the information!!! Don't you just love all of this drama???
Cheerleader, I don't know if you have had a chance to look at the map in the Petrohawk presentation on the main page yet but it includes a map that puts the shale farther south into Sabine and San Augustine than any I have seen to date. This map certainly makes a case for our area being part of the productive area on the Texas side. Maybe our new friend Jurassic Exploration knows more than most. I for one certainly hope so!
I have printed out maps from Cabot, Encana and Petrohawk and they all show a very large part of San Augustine and Sabine County being part of the productive area. All we need now is for natural gas prices to improve.

Oil and Gas Leasing Shelby, Sabine and San Augustine Counties,Texas
With the drilling and exploration cost down and the reserves unchanged these counties are very active as to leasing for minerals.Its looks like several companies from the Barnett Shale play are moving in the area for a piece of the play.Acreage cost should be higher than other areas because this is going to be Texas better part of the play in these mentioned counties.The shale will average about 100-200 feet thick in these counties. It doesnt take much if the rock has good properties.It wouldnt surprise me if acreage cost in the future will be 20,000-30,000/acre.Natural gas prices should be going back up at year end of 2009.
Posted by Jurassic Exploration Inc on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 23:41
ALongview I saw the maps posted by LesB. Cabot also has a good map that includes a lot of Sabine county. It will be interesting to see if Chesapeake's map changes any. It should.
It wouldnt surprise me if acreage cost in the future will be 20,000-30,000/acre. Natural gas prices should be going back up at year end of 2009.
- Both of the above statements are wild speculation based on nothing, supported by nothing. For those of you holding for $20k-$30k per acre, expect to keep holding for a long, long time.
ogmladvisor, I don't think that anyone is holding out for that in these counties as the going rate is more likely $500-$1000/acre. I think that some of the posts being made over there are for our entertainment benefit and some are based on the true beliefs of jurassic exploration. I would speculate that this is one posted for entertainment/wishful thinking. It has just been fun to post the goings on from the other site. It gets us talking again as it has been awhile. It's good to see you again, I always enjoy reading your posts.
ogmladvisor what is your assesment on Jurassic Exploration and all of their posts about Shelby, San Augustine and Sabine counites? I certainly wouldn't hold out of 20k - 30k. The most anyone has gotten around me is 5k which I think is really good.
Who is Jurassic Exploration and what is known about them? How many acres do they hold in the play and how many wells have they drilled? Has anyone leased to them? At what rate?
Jurassic Exploration Inc. is a company in Northeast Texas (I googled it). Are they affiliated in any way to the poster over on oilvoice? I don't know the answer to that but I sure do enjoy reading what they have to say about San Augustine, Sabine, and Shelby Counties.
I have never heard of Jurassic Exploration, and I don't have any idea where they get their information. So no real assesment to speak of, other than I would like some of their statements backed up with facts.
Let's just hope he's even half right...
Motherload People,
Jurassic Exploration has been posting since AT LEAST July 2008. Their positive remarks are nothing new regarding San Augustine's many formations and future in the Haynesville. Lessor's "inside man" at Cabot, RE: KVG #3 is confirming postive results by simply refusing to disclose information. If the KVG #3 was a bust we would have heard about it months ago. The Haynesville has been public information for less than a year. I think the OGs have done a remarkable job to come as far as they have in such a short time. They had to start somewhere and just because it wasn't in San Augustine doesn't mean San Augustine has any less of a play.
I was in Center today and saw seismic cables running all over the town proper. Parking lots may be soon covered with gas wells. LOL Also, does anyone know about the Cactus drilling rig in the area?
Cabot Earnings Call Transcript (Pg.3)
Comments regarding HS in County Line Field
During the first quarter, we have drilled and completed nine wells with an average IP of 8 million per day and average 30-day rate of 4 million per day. These flow rates are a little bit less than what we have seen as the average, and that's as a result of a conscious effort on our part to flow back these wells at a lower rate to keep the fracs in, in place a little bit longer.
We think this process will result in better wells in the long run. In regard to a horizontal Haynesville Shale well, we have agreed to an AMI with one party to drill our first horizontal shale well and we continue negotiations in another area to drill a second horizontal well. These wells will test the productive section we encountered in our vertical Von Goetz #3 well drilled last year on our County Line acreage. There is some recent Haynesville activity in the County Line area that continues to encourage us about this area for the Haynesville Shale.
At County Line, we have drilled 50 wells with consistent results from this play. Those 50 wells were and are James Lime completions. The field average IP is still approximately 10 million per day, with an average 30-day rate of 5 million per day, again from the James Lime.
