The attached from the Shreveport Times had quite a number of Haynesville Shale well test results.

Camterra Resources Inc., HA RA SUU; Spruill 26, 001, Sec. 26, T16N, R14W, Caspiana, 16013' MD
11750' TVD, Haynesville RA.

16013 MD??? I'm guessing this means measured depth..
Yes. Minus True Vertical Depth = 4,263', the length of the horizontal lateral portion of the well bore.
Chesapeake Operating Inc., Dixie Farm LLC 18 H, 001, Sec. 018, T16N, R14W, Metcalf, 19500' MD
11550' TVD, Upper Haynesville Non-Unitized.

Chesapeake's lateral appears to be much longer on this well. I've noticed Petrohawk has much longer laterals as well. Could this be one of the wells McClendon was referring to last weeks when talking about wells producing in excess of 20 MMCFD? I guess only time will tell....
It is probably a well where the rig pad and surface penetration are outside the unit, but the perforations are all within the unit. This is done to maximize the lateral and still meet the 660' setback distance from the boundary of the unit. It begins the curve outside the unit.
Scott, Aubrey mentioned three wells with initial rate > 20 MMcfd. One of those was the following well according to Questar:

22000 Mcfd - Chesapeake, Blount Farms 2 #H1 Well, Serial #237716, S2-T14N-R12W
I think the 19,500' MD is a typo.
Les B,
Could you explain why most of Chesapeake's permitted wells in DeSoto Parish are non-unitized? What does this mean? I.e., are they just drilling one well on some small tract, and don't have a section locked up? What does this mean to the landowners in that area? Thanks.
Msfva, it would mean at the time the well permit was granted (applied for?) the section was not covered by an approved Haynesville Unit. The unit may have been still in the approval process. In most cases I believe a unit will be approved and in place before the well is actually completed and put on production.
I was wondering the same thing. Thanks again Les.
I've never heard it mentioned here, excuse me if it has been discussed before, but those large water production figures could be very troubling. Water is expensive to dispose of and when the volume and pressure begin to drop it may have to be mechanically removed from the well bore in order to allow the gas to flow.
Boby, the initial high water rate is related to the flow back (unloading) of water (frac fluid) injected into the formation during the fracturing process. This water rate drops very rapidly during the start-up process and should stabilize at a much lower rate since it is not true formation water.
Its been awhile but whenever I frac'd a well we never potentialled it until the well had cleaned up. If this not the case with Haynesville wells the potential would be even greater after it has cleaned up. Are these wells being potentialled early due to the huge volumes?
