I did some digging and think I found the well that Dave Coleman has referenced.

Attached PDF (Oakwood Area) shows a zoom into the Oakwood area with wells that were drilled between 2014 and 2020.

• Only one well - gas symbol - in this area near Oakwood. 

This is the Bell Metz 1 / drilled in 2014 to 6400' depth and completed in the Woodbine Sands.

• Only produced 56 million cubic feet of gas and 45 BO / abandoned in late 2016.

Interesting well - drilled by Camden O&G but completed by Millenium Exploration. Eventually sold to TC O&G.

Completion report for this well is also attached.

Map also shows two active rigs

• The one that is 7 miles WNW of Oakwood is the Comstock Olajuwon well
• The other rig is a shallow )5500') well being drilled by Southwest Operating

If they were looking for Eagle Ford potential here, they didn't find it. The EF section is here but it is too shallow and thermally immature to have any prospectivity.

Great info. It will be very interesting to see the wellbore direction and lateral section length. Thanks again.

Based on permit plat (below), this lateral is planned to be drilled from NW to SE.

• A toe down, shallow to deeper horizontal (which seems to be common well plans for both Aethon and Comstock in this trend).
• Estimate about 1000'-1200' of structural drop from heel to toe of lateral.

Permitted as a 11,000' lateral

No TVD listed as part of the permit.

Do you think the 1000' to 1200' of structural drop matches dip in that area, onplane with dip or traversing through the dip plane? Just curious. Perhaps you have access to a structure map of that area and can give a guess. If it's onplane, isn't that rather steep or is that the way it is in that area?

HY, thanks for your note.

I have done a lot of mapping in this area based on the well control. Plus looked at most of the Aethon and Comstock laterals as to how they have been drilled.

• To date, I have yet to see any "cross cutting section" laterals, i.e. wellbores that don't follow structural dip and "stay in zone" along their entire length.

My mapping in this part of Freestone County (and into Leon County) is based on a lot of deep well control (mostly deep verticals that were targeting Bossier Sands 10-15 years ago).

• At the top of the Bosser, there is a significant structural dip from NW to SE in this area.
• And this structural dip becomes more acute at depth (i.e. the top of the Cotton Valley Lime). 

These two formation tops / structural planes form a "wedge" of thickening Bossier / Haynesville section as one move from NW to SE in this area.

• Thickness of this section goes from the 1500' to 2000' range up n the "shelf" to over 4000' to the SE as one moves deep into the basin (or basin that was present during this time of deposition).

With all that being said, I re-looked at my mapping and am restating my structural drop comment to now be 750' to 1000' of structural drop.

• I was shooting from the hip as to my initial structural drop comments. I apologize for that.

I hope this all makes sense - difficult explaining this without using maps to illustrate what is doing on here.

Makes total sense to me and thanks for your correction and clarification. You're always helpful.

Hope it works out for them, love to see success and this stuff is crazy expensive!

This step out should work - the deep vertical wells in this area that were drilled for Bossier Sands reinforce the concept that - although these Bossier Sands were economic failures due to their limited areal extent - this Bossier / Haynesville section is organic rich, over pressured section packed with a lot of Gas in Place.

Landling zone selection will be key - but I am sure that Comstock's technical team has a good handle on optimum landing zone selection based on petrophysical evaluations that pinpoint the best Gas in Place zones tied to porosity and storage capacity.

Both Comstock and Aethon have drilled stacked laterals in the Leon / Robertson Co part of the trend - they just haven't touted these results and different zones in their quarterly reports.

I expect to see more about this in Comstock's year-end report (sometime in 1st Q 2025)
