Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on June 29, 2014 at 9:47 Leasing in north Bossier Parish on behalf of SM Energy has been ongoing for about two years. That prior leasing was conducted for SM Energy by JB Land Services. Hopefully others will share information on current leasing in your specific area. You can look through past discussions about leasing in N Bossier here in the group discussion archive or search using the key words, JB Land. SM Energy's original interest was in the Pettit Zone but the wells they drilled did not appear to be sufficiently commercial. It's good to see that they are now interested in drilling a horizontal well in the Haynesville Sand.

Permalink Reply by obed w odom on August 2, 2014 at 1:55 Nabors reports that the Stovall 17 H #1 is "drilling ahead" at 9768' as of 8/1/14, which is 1200' less than reported last week. Possibly they drilled a pilot hole and have now moved back uphole to start the lateral; or they could have had mechanical problems and had to sidetrack.

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires.
