By my estimates, these last 36 units bring SWEPI up to about 100 proposed units in Northern Sabine/Southern DeSoto. Yes, they are the force to be reckoned with in this area. Can we find out how they plan to drill....
Horizontal or vertical? When? With only a few rigs, it would have to take some time to plow through all 100 units. Does anyone have some sense of how long this will take?

how long does it take to drill a horizontal with the expected problems that will arise?

Jack, the harris 19 started around july 15 and is still ongoing. My understanding is shell is safer and goes slower. I would think it will be one drilling per 640 acre's for some time to come..... I guess the french rivera will just have to wait!!

Who is SWEPI ? I'm sorry if I sound ignorant to this, but I don't know this company.

Jo Ann, SWEPI is Shell but they are in a joint venture with EnCana. No apology necessary

I would think Shell Western Exploration & Production Inc.

I really don't understand all the technical jumbo. Would this include Section 15, T 7N, Range 13?

KC, I have not seen any units further south than T8N, Ranges 11W, 12W & 13W.
