Les B., I believe that GD thinks this is a new permit or a mistake associated with a new permit application. This is the same permit for the same well. It was simply permitted originally as Non-Unitized and the name was changed when the permit was amended to include the well in the existing CV RA SUD unit for the Ashland Field. The depth definition for Field Order 1262-D already includes the HA. Nothing other than the name has changed.
Was told tonite that the pad in S20 -T13-R7 WAS 7.5 AC. AND THEY WOULD DRILL 4 WELL FROM THAT PAD....also the reason they chose that site was because it was out of the flood plane and did require all the extra paper work ...wanting to get well before cheap lease run out....they like what they was so far in sec 8 well...drill baby drill
BF, that is some great news since Section 20 is 2 sections south of Section 8.
The well must not be too bad if Chesapeake permitted another well adjacent to it yesterday in section 18.

GD, What have you heard?

Any new updates?  I see on Snoris it says waiting on pipeline, waiting on completion, waiting on completion the last time I looked.  Any idea of what kinda of potential the wells will have?

Marc:

 

Good question.  I wish I knew some solid facts.

So, I can only say for sure that we'll know the IP when CHK files the paperwork with the state.

I hope it is soon.  Would put an end to the scuttlebutt as you call it.

Any news?  I was passing by and they were doing I guess flare test the other day.  Do not know if that is good or bad.  Happy Easter to all!

 

 

There's hearsay that CHK might be clearing a pad in sec 5 13N 7W.  Unsure if this is true or not.  But if CHK does put a rig in there and start drilling, then that will be the 4th CHK horiz well in the Ashland Field.  Plus, it should be noted that all four of these HA wells, if section 5 is drilled, would be aligned almost in a straight line, north/south, i.e., in sections 5, 8, 17, and 20.

If anyone want's to offer their thinking or this or confirm that CHK is drilling section 5 to hold leases, please feel free to post.  Someone also said that a number of CHK leases have expired in sec 18 13N 7W.  So, if this is, in fact, true . . . then why is CHK doing such, e.g., drilling and bringing in 3 wells (and possibly yet another in sec 5) but then not wrapping up leasing in a section that's butted up in the exact same location, letting those leases in section 18 expire?

Many of the landowners, in and around Ashland, are hoping that CHK will sell out to another operator.  Of course, if there is a flip, then maybe that would explain why CHK is doing what it's doing.  But this is all speculation. 

 

 


Hi GoshDarn

CHK does have a site in Sec. 5.  You can see the survey stuff if you travel down the Foster Arbor road and look on the Nat. parish side of the the road.  Real easy to see where the road to the site is going to be.  I do not know if the site has been cleared off yet.  I can't speak to whether or not CHK is doing this to hold leases.  The survey work is done.  My lease with CHK runs out in Aug.  It is on the Bienville Parish side of the Foster Arbor Road.  Have not heard a word out of CHK.  Seems like a lot of money CHK is spending for a flip.  I have not seen any production figures on any of these wells.  But the flares have been tremendous.  Along  the lines of some I have seen in Red River parish.  That is the only thing I have to compare them to.  

Marc, I will be on the look-out for the well permit and will post once available.
