"I updated my map last week to highlight the sections, not individual tracts, where GEP/Tall Pine has filed leases. My last acreage count of filed leases is ~17,700 Ac across 43 sections. I am very interested in seeing the results from the first…"

Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Lawrence Silver's discussion Lease bonus
"Hi Lawrence,My best guess is that Expand is looking for you to ratify your existing lease to say it is still valid in effect. I haven't looked at the production for wells in this section, so it is possible the well or wells were not producing…"
Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Mr J.'s discussion Can I contact a landman directly?
"Skip - you are correct, completion designs have evolved significantly over the past several years. The 2010-vintage wells in Sections 7 and 18 both had ~1250 lb/ft of proppant. Modern completions range from ~2000-3000 lb/ft, with a few wells in the…"

"Section 6-13N-08W is in a heavily faulted area on the Eastern extents of the developed Haynesville play. Expand has a low-producing well in Sec 7-13N-08W and two producing wells that cross or drill into Sections 7&18-13N-08W. There are very few…"

Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to VSC DeSoto South's discussion Does anyone have any benchmarks for a well decline rate or decline curves in a chart or rate decline by year format?
"Below is a map showing all of the wells in Sections 30&31-11N-12W and a type curve for Mid-Bossier wells in this general area. Looking at the vertical depths of the three newest wells that cross these two sections and their proximity to the…"
Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant's discussion JERA to buy GEPH II Haynesville Assets for $1.7 Billion?
"This is a very big purchase price. If GEP is able to get almost the same gross valuation for their joint venture with Williams as they did for their GEP I assets that were sold to SWN, that would be a huge win for them."
Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to VSC DeSoto South's discussion Does anyone have any benchmarks for a well decline rate or decline curves in a chart or rate decline by year format?

Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Carol Hart's discussion Natchitoches Leasing now
"I still believe that GEP will drill the deviated well, acquire as much data as possible (logs and potentially core), and then decide whether to use this well as a producer after their evaluation is complete. I georeferenced the permit plat and added…"
Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Carol Hart's discussion Natchitoches Leasing now
"Hi Carol. I agree with Jesse that it can matter who you lease with, and it can be preferable to be leased to the operator that will be developing your minerals if possible. Both GEP and Expand are established operators in the basin. I don't…"
Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Carol Hart's discussion Natchitoches Leasing now
"I agree. I think this will be the path they take. This is a big step-out, and I am sure they will want to gather and evaluate as much data as possible before deciding to drill a horizontal."
Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Carol Hart's discussion Natchitoches Leasing now
"It looks like they permitted a mostly vertical well. I suspect they will potentially core a portion or the whole zone of interest and run a full suite of logs to characterize the reservoir. GEP has a rig drilling in 12N-09W at the current time. On…"

Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Petro-Hunt Step Out Field Order Application

Oil & Gas ProRyan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Petro-Hunt Step Out Field Order Application

Petro-Hunt Step Out Field Order Application
Petro-Hunt recently filed a field order application covering 14 Sections, primarily in T15N-R07W, which is a significant step-out to the East from legacy Haynesville development. It will be interesting to see the results of these wells if they get drilled. The 10,000ft Aethon well in 13N-07W has produced 9.56 bcf (0.93 bcf/1000ft) since Q4 2021, which is a poor result from a $15.9 million well.…See More
