Mystery of the Northern wells Solved?

Many have asked why the wells in the northern portion of the play are not as good. It appears that the porosity is the culprit. Note the PDF of the Goldco (Now Matador) E & L Development well.

Which Townships would be considered northern?

"We all know that the Haynesville Shale production will end "somewhere"!

Blasphemy!!! Braveheart LOL, if it was everywhere it wouldn't be worth anything.

What do you think about township 17 in relation to the shale. What is the thickest known level of the shale and where is located?

ShaleGeo & Braveheart. What is the chance that a different completion profile would be more successful in the north Caddo portion of the shale? A different frac fluid or proppent for example. Possibly even a different reservoir. And as to thickness, It would be instructive, IMO, to discuss the difference between gross thickness and net thickness.

We have engineers on this site? LOL! Okay, Mmaarrkk, where ya at? I think that we need to advertise for a few more reservoir engineers and geologists. Not that we don't have some good ones (Thank you, Jay), it's just that a HS site can use a full compliment. I believe that we have a sufficient number of landmen at present? Ha!

Double Ditto.

Jay, Would the lack of porosity in the northern sections have a detrimental effect on the pressure gradient. In other words would it seem to have less porosity and be less overpressured?

landownerPermalink Reply by Spring Branch,mineral owner on March 8, 2009 at 14:35
Thanks, Jay.......But it could easily have lower porosity and lower pressure than the shale further south?

"Not a problem. I like the site when it is about the shale. "

This site is always the best when I get to hear professionals like Jay talk about the Shale, we all appreciate your knowledge.
