Hello Bosco,

   IMHO ------ the checker-boarded USFS are a PROBLEM as they can STOP/Delay infrastructure (pipelines, roads etc.)  even passing through one of their tracts on an existing dirt road requires a expensive permit plus improvements.

   Also the cheap USFS leases attracted speculator Investors to the area early on and these folks were not players (drillers)

    On the bright side XTO "Penny Lane" at Pennington and Walker Co. activity should finally draw attention to Trinity Co. and the tests on SM "Horizon" at Riverside are rumored to be 300 bopd. and Devon/XTO/Trivium have built  pads SE of Crockett in Houston County.

    After watching activity for a couple of years in Madison Co. "walk" their way towards central HC one well at a time I would say that it has been painfully slow and now that drilling has arrived  information is slow to leak out and the fact that the Verticals are commingled zones that require multiple fracing with delays between fracing each zone is making the FINAL commingled completion results take forever.

Also, at least some of the best "step-out" acreage near Groveton appears to be HBP.  going north in the county, based on the Halcon and ZaZa Maps, is probably less prospective.  Southern half is probably the best bet.

Agreed - ZaZa is presenting at a conference later this month - maybe they can shed some light on it. Can you confirm they are frackign right now?

ZaZa news release on 6 Nov states fracking starting on 11/6 and initial production late Nov. This is an important well ... Look at the last Halcon corporate presentation, p 15-16 - stratigraphic on p16 shows some "massive Woodbine" intervals which correlate to NW Liberty County based on cross section path on the p15 isopach map. So if the ZaZa well comes in it would open up the entire region.

Watch the BBX wells in Polk County - one of their current drills (Ensign) and the permitted Grizzly Bear unit may both test woodbine.
