What is the API #

Do you know which road it is off of? I know some of the locals and might be able to get someone to take a look.

There is a CR just north of south fork cedar cr. Turns to the NE off of FM2501 or Cedar Rd.  You may want to  plug the API in at http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/data/online/gis/index.php#  and get a good visual. Hope that helps.

I've worked with a drilling supervisor who was one a rig in Boggy Slough east of this location in the 1980's that was down around 18000-20000 feet and blew out.  

 

I think there was also a confirmation of gas in a well drilled in Federal Minerals off Forest Road 540-A to the southwest, and gas shows in a well drilled near the school, a few miles south of this well.  Thats the vague recollection of someone who was a wee lad at the time. They also did some pretty significant flaring of a well either near north cedar creek, or in Trevat in the 1980s.

Ok, I've got some folks in the area who will dig a bit and see what they can find out.  I had one friend confirm the flaring of a well a bit north of there, near the Hilltop Bar in the early 1980s.  

 

Locals expressed concern over hydraulic fracturing, 

 

There have been a couple of additional permits filed in Houston County near Lovelady - Burk Royalty with the Broxson #1, and LLOG with the Thompson Brothers A62.  I'll have some check these sites out if anyone is interested.

I am a geologist working this area. The subject well is a direct twin of the Shell  / Temple Industries / 1 drilled in 1970. The well was a dry hole, but later recompleted in the Travis Peak @ + 14,000' as a poorly producing gas well. In my opinion the Travis Peak is a non commercial reservoir in this area. Before abandoning this well, Shell perfed two sands between 18,300 and 19,100' and apparently tested non commercial. Several other sands had shows in this interval. I believe this section may be upper Bossier or perhaps Lower Cotton Valley. This is probably the objective for the new well. My guess is that the play is technology based, hinging on fracking multiple sands in the lower CV / Bossier. The people behind this project are not dummies and a successful well could run acreage prices up quickly. These guys are real contrarians, as gas prices don’t look too good for the near future and these wells must find huge reserves to pay out.

I've got a reliable report of a Haliburton wireline truck in the area within the last few days. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for that one.

Under what circumstances would a wireline truck be employed?
