Les, what does logging the well at 2,400' and sidetracked the well mean? Hopefully this does not mean that the well is going to be abandoned from production does it? If the drill has encountered problems how much of a set back can this be to the stage of a well head being set at the drill site. Thanks

Pamela, the problem encountered does not mean the well is being abandoned.  In fact drilling was continued after the well was sidetracked.  It does mean the well is taking a long time to be drilled and it is still too early to know if the well will be productive.

Does logging mean that the well will continue to drill or something else? Thanks

Pamela, logging is the process of lowering a device in the wellbore to measure information about the formations.  They logged the well to 14340 ft before plugging the lower part of the well.

I wonder if this will be similar to what happened in section 28 where the James Formation was encountered.  Is there any information floating around as to what may be happening in this region, or do we have to settle for SONRIS updates?

Nearly 16,000 feet drilling horizontal in the Haynesville.

Does anyone know if the Birdwell H1 well, in Section 22, is still drilling, fracking or if a well head has been placed where the rig used to be. Thanks

Pamela, my information indicates drilling rig is still on location but maybe someone "on the ground" can confirm.

Les B, the the drilling rig is a "bee hive" of activity today. Many workers are visible. Some are breaking the drill stem down and stacking it, some are cleaning portions of the rig with high pressure hoses, and others are active around the pad. It would appear that preparations are being made to move the rig. At what point will fracking take place ?

Thanks for the info Bob. Does anyone know how long it takes for the fracking to be complete? Also, is it common for this rig to drill within the same production unit as it's next targeted drill. Possibly a permit as been issued for the next location for this rig, which belongs to XTO and is in Section 22 T10N R10W. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Pamela, once the equipment is on location and the process started the typical fracture stimulation job should take 7-10 days.  But it is highly uncertain when XTO will schedule the work to be performed.

 

XTO may elect to move the drilling rig to the following well targeted for Section 29 since it is a permited location but that depends on various factors including the term of the rig contract.   

 

XTO, Blankenship 29 #H1 Well, Serial #243540, S32(29)-T10N-R10W

Thanks Les. I will keep checking to see if any fracking equipment for this well is spotted by someone and possibly posted to the site. If infracture has not been established, then it can be months before gas sales are recorded and division orders are sent by XTO to lease holders. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
