Petrohawk Maps - How Much Area Does the Bossier/Haynesville Shale Cover in Louisiana? (11/24/09)

Based on the recent Petrohawk maps for the Haynesville & Bossier Shale, I attempted to estimate the size of the plays in Louisiana only. My estimates are as follows for Louisiana:

Haynesville Shale - 1,891,584 acres
Bossier Shale - 1,135,872 acres

Also, I estimated an area of of almost 900,000 acres where both the Haynesville and Bossier Shales are present in Louisiana.

Based on the above areas there could be ~ 219 Tcf of recoverable gas combined (Louisiana only) and almost 38,000 well locations.

The following is a listing of Township-Ranges where one or both shales are present based on the Petrohawk map. Of course the productive area could actually be larger based on future drilling results.

T7N-R13W to T7N-R14W
T8N-R11W to T8N-R14W
T9N-R10W to T9N-R14W
T10N-R8W to T10N-R15W
T11N-R8W to T11N-R16W
T12N-R7W to T12N-R16W
T13N-R7W to T13N-R16W
T14N-R7W to T14N-R16W
T15N-R7W to T15N-R16W
T16N-R7W to T16N-R16W
T17N-R7W to T17N-R16W
T18N-R8W to T18N-R16W
T19N-R9W to T19N-R16W
T20N-R10W to T20N-R16W

Ronald, you must be referring to the Gulf Crossing and Midcontinent Express Pipelines. These are both new 42" gas pipelines.

Do the logs show any Bossier+HA love for 14/11? Thanks.

Here's a few. I think they were using a log from 237838 to define the formation for a few other wells but I could be wrong. And thanks much Jay.

Hi Les and Jay!

Do ya'll have a link for the map that you are referencing? The only one I can find only includes southern DeSoto and northern Sabine parishes.

Thank you both very very much.

Thank you, I guess that I don't need to look at the map after all. LOL I will remain thankful for what I do have.

Insomniac, one of those maps shows the Bossier going as far north as 15/14 of N. Desoto. We have property in Sec. 21 of that area, so that was of interest to me. I have talked to several gas people & 14/14 Desoto has good Bossier shale. Also in sec. 7&8 16N 14W south Caddo, I believe Chesapeake as filed for Bossier and Haynesville units. Jay can you check on that? It would take the Bossier shale into south Caddo

Insomniac, see my response to Cal above with link and map.
