Classic Operating has filed for a permit {USA Courtney 2H} in the NA Middleton Survey {489} in Shelby County for a Travis Peak Horizontal. Stated Target depth 8,700 ft. with total depth of 12,300, this would be a 3600 ft horizontal.
Has any operator every drilled a Travis Peak horizontal in this area and if so what were the results. Jffree maybe you could answer this of the top of you head.

LOL! I guess I didn't even look because that was "your" question. My bad.
If you look through the list of permits below you will see some "odd" permits in 2008 but there were dozens of operators drilling holes in District 6 that year and trying to be... discreet. I know of at least one of those TP permits in Shelby was eventually a HA completion where Newfield named the West Huxley Deep (HA) field. So... you guys probably have cause to be a little bit suspicious. We will just have to watch it and see what they do.
They are not trying to hide their shale wells, adubu. They have two permitted not far from that one now. They have CV hz. wells in the area, also. Either they are really going to try a hz. TP or they are going deeper than the shale. That is my thought on this well... for what it's worth.
adubu and jffree,
My contact on this well location [land owner] is suprised that this is a TP Hor, as he was orininally told the target would be a directional to TP and later that it would probably be a Haynesville or Bossier.
I sure hope it eventually is one of the latter.
The ambiguous statement above, from Classic, and jffrees statement of different targets after permit, give some hope that the target may in fact change. We need a good well in this portion of Shelby County.
Another thought is that a very good TP Hor might open up the market also.
From my limited knowledge, the local information that I have been told is that the TP encounters a lot of saltwater going south .
Regardless, thanks for all the input.
Jffree, sorry to put you on the hot seat but you are definetly the go to person with all the correct info and I for one am very appreciative, as I am somewhat of a technological idiot.
