During a recent presentation Crimson Exploration stated that during some initial testing, the Kardell Well had a flowing pressure of 10,000 psi while producing 22-24 MMcfd on a 26/64" choke. This is by far the highest flowing pressure I have heard for any Haynesville Shale well and is an indication of the high formation pressure in the "Texas Core".

Crimson will be drilling or participating in seven Haynesville Shale wells in 2010.

Crimson stock has been crushed after the IPO. Cheerleader might be onto something - the assets are not nearly as valuable as they have let on publicly. You think?

Just asking, they planned the IPO at $8 a share and it is trading at $4 now. Someone knows something, maybe?

Again just asking.
I believe the IPO was planned around $8 and priced around $5. they raised around $100m. A drop from there is a more of an investor's concern for their debt situation and a recent dilution of shares. I do not believe that Crimson has given any indication that they believe any of their holdings to be less prospective than they thought following the Kardell announcement.

I noticed the number 1 bcf also and thought it was odd considering the reported numbers. I also was caught off guard as to how 1 bcf in 4 months would equate to "we'll have to see if it will work down there." Seems like they would have known that the Haynesville was thinner there back in September or October when they were drilling and completing. They did go ahead and take 244 leases since 10/01/2009(date of first sales numbers) to now in the same area as the Kardell and further East. Why not go further West where you have seen other operators have success? If it is thinner as you go that way why lease in that direction? I don't know what to believe any more......and is it 1 bcf or 500 million?
Alongview--they also previously said lot's of other pay zones..james looked good, etc
I think in yesterday's press release they also repeated 1 bcf produced already. Something does not add up.
Incidently, just notice today that Devon has submitted an application to re-permit the well.

Unit size has now been adjusted up to just a bit over 666.27 acres.

When they make the unit larger, does that dilute Devon's interest? Crimsons?

I assume the mineral owners are not happy, they have to split the pie a bit more?

Again, just asking. It seems once you put a unit together once you start making it larger or changing the size would get some of the owners excited or mad, or both, ha ha.

Big gas draw today from storage, but that has not helped price. I listened to the Crimson presentation and was impressed. Devon usually puts on a good show also, looking forward to it.
Here are the plats:
Kardell as of 6-17-09

Kardell as of 1-07-10
http://webapps.rrc.state.tx.us/dpimages/img/700000-799999//PR000075...

What it looks like to me is they added acreage between the Kardell Unit and the Skillern Unit which now appear to adjoin on the west boundary line. The Kardell Unit is still within normal unit size and will allow for better (and more) horizontal well spacing so everyone should be happy. It was originally very odd shaped and I had wondered how many hz. wells they could fit into it.

Skillern Plat

Yes, pie is getting cut into smaller pieces. Good for addition acreage holders. Bad for the original acreage holders. Good for oil companies since they can tie up the additional acreage by production without having to drill another well.

Don't look for multiple wells per unit until the companies' other lease holdings are drilled and held by production. Even then, it will probably take a considerable increase in NG prices.
5GT, This is not a bad deal for the original unit mineral owners. The extra acreage now makes it possible to position additional horizontal wells in the unit. Yes, it dilutes the royalty on one well but it increases the potential for MORE royalties via a larger number of possible unit horizontal wells in the long run. You have to look beyond the initial well. And the unit shape, the way it was originally configured, was not real conducive to future developement. Hopefully, the unit will eventually see as many wells as Devon can jam into the new acreage configuration.
Just as a follow-up, the information I posted was a verbal statement so I had to paraphrase. You can access the webcast at the following link:
