From the Press Release

"The company’s fourth well, the Johnson #21-22-1 #1 located in Union Parish, Louisiana, was drilled to a vertical depth of 10,507 feet in July. Like in the BML well, this well also encountered unusually high pressure within the target formation. The company plans to complete this well vertically in August, but the well will be able to be re-entered as a horizontal well in the future."

SWN has put the Frac tree on the well and setting tanks. Should be getting ready to frac in the near future.

Coil Tubing unit has been on the Johnson#21 well again. Rigged down last night was on location approx. 36 hours. Not sure what they were doing but seen not cement pumpers there just coil unit & 6 frac tanks.

Brenda, the latest SONRIS Scout Report (8/22/2012) for Dean well said they were setting a 5 1/2 inch liner to 10503 feet so it seems that it is still very active:

 8/20/12, RIH WITH 5 1/2" LINER AT 10503'.

Thank you for information Obed.  You know how rumors are, I could not see it being plugged and abandoned.

OFT,

Do you know how many frac stages are in the well??

frac man,

Please explain to a layman what "screened out" means. Thanks.

Basically, it is not good news.

A screen out occurs when a frac's combination of frac sand / proppant plus fluid (water, gel, etc.) reaches a point where the proppant volume becomes too high to be carried by the frac fluid into the perfs and formation.

When this happens, the sand / proppant drops out in the wellbore and prevents the frac from continuing. This clogging up of the wellbore due to sand dropping you is a "screen out".

When this happens, equipment (coiled tubing et al) needs to be brought in to clean out the well of the sand before any new work (e.g. setting plugs, additional frac'ing, etc.) can be done.

Hope this helps.
