If you live in Beauregard Parish, all hell could break loose at anytime on the drilling front. The area from Bundick Lake to Dry Creek is in the hot zone for the TMS. This has been over three years in the making, so it is likely to come off now if prices don't crash. Between Halcon, El Paso and Midstates there won't be a good road left in the parish. Best of luck to you all.

i'm told the flash point of synthetic motor oil is much higher than that of conventional.

maybe, this horizon and depth is where exxon has been "finding" their mobil 1 base stock.

naw. there's an old saying about if you keep your mouth shut folks might think you're simple, but if you speak up, you remove any doubt.

Jay:

I second your opinion based on Ron Zimmerman's thermal maturity mapping of the Lower Cretaceous. See attached.

I concur and believe your advice is spot on.

Ms. Conner, the comments of cheap shot and ShaleGeo are concerning a specific formation in the area of the Dry Creek Field.  IMO there are other more likely target formations than the TMS.  There is a good bit of industry activity in Beauregard Parish associated with the Wilcox formation and that may be the reason behind the 3D you mention.

Ms. Conner, your question is too general in nature for an accurate answer.  I don't follow Beauregard Parish regularly so I can't speak to any specifics regarding current leasing or future plans to drill.

Ms Jessye, I don't think that they would have spent all that money shooting seismic down your way if someone didn't  think it was there. Jay is probably correct that the TMS has been cooked in the mid to southern parts of Beauregard Parish. The Wilcox is a good formation when you can find the sweet spots. It takes a while to get all the data digested from the shoot, so it is a waiting game at this point.

ms. conner,

i'm very sorry if my flippant answer to jay's knowledgeable comment, above, caused you or anyone else, offense.

a long time back, i learned the hard way that if the stuff is deposited too deep and even if it migrates to a horizon yet too deep, any oil there will be, over time, converted (cooked into) to gas.

i'm also certain, based on my very minimal knowledge of the depths at which liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons may be found, jay's answer rings true. 

messrs. peel's and, especially, t.d.p's follow on comments are spot on. these companies don't spend all of that money it takes in preliminary exploration efforts without their feeling there will be a reasonable chance they will find payable quantities of oil and/or gas there. 

i wish you and yours the best as to what may be found on your acreage. and, once again, i apologize if my somewhat ill advised "joke" caused you offense; there was none intended,
