Vertical Well vs. Horizontal Well

I've been following the Indigo Well 31 and just found out this well is a vertical well. Why would someone drill a vertical well in the Haynesville and how does a vertical compare to a horizontal in terms of output?

Jeff. We need a serial number or s-t-r to review the well file.

Unfortunately I can't find it. It is supposed to be in S31 T16 R15.
I've found it before but for some reason Sonris isn't cooperating!

JNP, I am not sure why you think this a vertical well. The Indigo Minerals 31 #H1 is a horizontal Haynesville Shale well.

Les B,
Oh...well, the lady in the division orders department of Cheasapeake told me that yesterday. Apparently she was wrong. Didn't make sense to me. Sorry for the confusion but I couldn't find it on Sonris and still can't. Do you happen to have the well serial # Les?
Thanks,
JnP

It could be a Cotton Valley well instead of a Haynesville. I think they acquired interest in some Chesapeake Fields where Chesapeake retained the deep rights including the Haynesville.

If it was drilled by Indigo minerals than it is a vertical haynesville. They are drilling and completing the haynesville shale, cotton valley, and hosston sands. they are selling the haynesville up the tubing for chesapeake so they can retain the leases and selling the cotton valley and hosston up the backside for themselves. Its something they worked out with chesapeake. I have perferated several wells for indigo in the longstreet area south of keatchi

Ah....another clue CLEW! Thanks. So will the vertical haynesville be converted to a horizontal by Chesapeake? They can't really get much gas out of a vertical can they?

Clew, the well was drilled by Chesapeake in the Johnson Branch Field as a horizontal Haynesville Shale producer.

Brian, the referenced well is a horizontal Haynesville Shale well rather than Cotton Valley.

Rather than speculate on what the well might be, it would seem that folks would take the time to see what the well actually is before commenting, as Les B. has done
