You are sure putting me on the hot seat, adubu.  I will just say that I don't know of any true horizontal Travis Peak wells in East Texas.  I'm pretty sure that there are probably some directionals, as in offset from vertical, but I would have to go look for them.  It's not a field I look at often.

jffree1 --prudhoe bay posted this after I gave him heads up on permit-- so he has put you on hot seat--LOL -- I ask question few months back if any one had seen a H TP well and all answer it was not required to improve a vertical TP due to formation. The TP is about 7800-9000 in this area then CV top at 9000 then Bossier Shale at 10200 Haynesville at 11000 and Lime at 11250-- so have to see what they drill and later review report--- I would not be surprised if it ends up a Shale well because TP H does not make sense-- now could be H Taylor CV sands well--- so it's wait and see.

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.

Here are all the permits in District 6 with a Travis Peak target (most have multiple targets) and horizontal profile.  You will have to do the homework to find out if any of them have actually been completed hz. in the TP.

jffree1 and PB--- I sent Classic a email(kerensa@classicinc.net) who sign the permit and ask with reply "yes this is planned TP horizontal well, but plans for this well are confidential and can be followed on RRC site as public information is released"

Well duh, LOL!!  You get an A+ for asking, though.  LOL!!

jffree1-- it will be interesting to see if they do spud what formation they drill for sure. My bet is CV or Shale.

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.

That's ok PB.  I was just kidding.

jffree1 --agree to all that-- so maybe they are going to do a H TP-- but the TP very thick and has mutilple sands in it so how would they know best depth and where  to go lateral with the leg--- hope they do go with TP H as stated will be educational and could open up new tech for TP
