This has probably been answered before, but I would appreciate it if someone could please give me more information about what this attached letter means. Thanks
CMK, see my post below. Chesapeake just recently permitted a well for one of the sections in question so they may still proceed with drilling the sections.
Chesapeake, Petro-Hunt 8 #H1 Well, Serial #241491, S8-T13N-R7W
Ann, the application was withdrawn in regard to five sections because the Haynesville Shale formation had already been included in existing Cotton Valley Units. The Cotton Valley Units were formed in a previous 2006 unit order (attached). The Cotton Valley Units for the five sections in question include both the Bossier Shale and Haynesville Shale in addition to the Cotton Valley Formation. So Chesapeake can drill and complete wells under those unit designations. They also have the option to define the Cotton Valley Units to exclude the two shale formation and apply for new Haynesville Units. This has been done by some operators (ie Questar) in other parts of the play.

Les, I was a bit confused about why that wasn't considered before the applicatiion order - but I'm still learning - thanks to you and those on this web site. Thank you for the detailed info.
Was at the location of petro-hunt 8-13-7 well site today at noon and they had drilled a starter hole 90 feet deep, the guy I spoke to said they were waiting on concrete then they would be done.There was a small rig still in place.The guy said the drilling rig should follow in just a few days.
