It's looks like a test well that will drill through the entire CV/LCV interval.  Though permitted to 14,000' there is no guarantee that the well will be drilled that deep.  I think that Nadel and Gussman would like to copy the successful Wildhorse well designs.  That requires finding the right rock.

Thanks, Skip. Also, I see that the top of the Cotton Valley is shown as 10,100 feet in the Waggoner well in Section 9 of T19N R7W, so it is deeper than I had realized.

To drill through the entirety of the Cotton Valley group can take 1600 or more feet in some locations.

Has the cotton valley ever been drilled horozontial in Claiborne Parish?

I don't think so.  Then again the CV/LCV is a conventional reservoir so the only areas where horizontal wells would be economic would have to be very tight. rock.

Not necessarily. I have seen drilling programs recently for drilling laterals in sands. I sure would like to try that and drill one of theses or a TMS.
Thanks

Where you are seeing those horizontal wells are areas of very low permeability in conventional reservoirs.  Those areas are generally limited in size.
