Goodrich Completes "Super" Well in Angelina County (11/1/10)

Goodrich announced the completion of their first Haynesville/Bossier Shale well in Angelina County.  This may be the first well with a flowing pressure over 10,000 psi in the play.

 

HOUSTON, Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: GDP) today announced its third quarter operational update.

 

SHELBY TROUGH

 

Angelina River Trend. The Company has completed its initial well in the Shelby Trough, the S.W. Henderson No. 1H (100% WI), a 4,100 foot horizontal well targeting the Haynesville Shale in Angelina County, Texas. The well produced into sales at a 24-hour rate of 21,000 Mcf per day on a 22/64 inch choke with 10,250 psi. The Company expects to spud its second well on the Angelina River Trend acreage, the Nelson 1H (100% WI), in November, and currently anticipates keeping one rig running on the acreage during 2011.

Thanks for posting, Les. The Shelby Trough has been extended several miles to the south by this well and there will be some happy shalers in that area today.

LES:
I am curious about how much the production depends on the shale and how much depends on the accuracy of the horizontal leg. I can imagine a leg being "too high" or "too low" in the shale, as opposed to one being in the middle, with equal shale above and below the horizontal leg.

I have seen some wells drilled "side by side" so to speak, where one produces and the other does "squat".

Doesn't some of the initial production depend on the "quality of the drilling"?
Is it possible/likely that a lot of the formation holds the same gas (within the immediate area), but they simply "do something wrong" when drilling?

H1, initial rates are primarily a function of shale quality (permeability, porosity, clay content, depth, etc) and the completion/fracture treatment design and execution. The later is the reason you see the variation between adjacent wells.
