SNAPSHOT OF THE PLAY: HA UNIT ORDERS/APPLICATIONS BY TOWNSHIP - 04/10/09

There are significant changes since the last post. Of the last 18 unit applications posted to the public hearing schedule, Petrohawk and Chesapeake account for 16. And 41 of the 43 sections represented in those applications. The first HA unit appears for the Sibley Field in Webster Parish (S32 - 17N - 9W). The play continues to expand along the east/central margin into Webster and Bienville parishes. A new Samson Contour unit app is not reflected in the township/section totals as it has not been posted to the public hearing schedule but members are receiving pre-conference notification letters. This app is interesting as it includes units for Hosston, Cotton Valley, Haynesville and Smackover zones. The HA zones are: Sections 33-36 - 20N - 16W, Section 6 - 19N - 15W and Sections 2-4, 9-16 - 19N - 16W. 16 sections in total. The letter is posted on the North Caddo Group Page courtesy of Coonman.

Skip, I don't recall the initial spacing but probably 80 or 160 acres. But there has been a lot of continued downspacing so I suspect it will ultimately be 10 or 20 acres. Some tight sandsone plays in the Rockies are even thicker and are targeted ultimately for 5 acre spacing.

Recognize that every play or subplay has an optimum well spacing and completion technology mix and each play is different. The key is to determine that optimum combination.

Les. Yeah for vertical completions, 10 to 20 acre spacing sounds logical. The industry may be redrilling and refracing the HS for the next 50 years. And the last royalty checks may not arrive in a mail box for 75 years.

Skip, I would not anticipate any refrac's since they are only really feasible or effective in vertical wells. Basically the Haynesville Shale play supports 50+ years of drilling just for the initial development on 80 acre spacing.
