Dry Hole

If this has been discussed previously, I cannot locate it here. I've been reading the site over the past few weeks and this is my first attempt at a discussion. I've heard discussion of a dry hole in certain areas that may lessen the value of leases in and around that area. Does anyone know if a well was previously drilled and determined to be dry if that does affect the surrounding area? Also I'm not good at reading the SONRIS map in LA but it looks like the the Desoto, Sabine, and Red River Parishes all contain numerous dry holes. It appears the ones that I viewed the data for date back to 1960s-1980s. If talk of a dry hole can hurt a particular area, then if I am reading it correctly, are they just talking about a recent dry hole?

Sonris shows the anthony valure 32 or 34 well was drilled to 10500 feet. The anthony valure well is in south east desoto. Sonris is listing this as a dry hole. Was this a haynesville or was it just deep enough to be too shallow?

Question is: Can you call it a dry hole in the HS????

May have to get Jay to comment on this. I will post him a question and see what he has to say. TD for well was reported to only be 8560. Who knows why they did not drill to 10,500. Could have run into numerous problems to abandon well.

Maybe we can contact The Discovery Channel and get the "Monster Hunters" to come down here and look for this mysterious HS "DRY HOLE".

Thanks for the chuckle. I agree with Drwave all the way. Vertical wells except when they need them to raise capital...

Sorry Jim, I know that we are only suppose to talk about fact so maybe you will be willing to share. Heard from a very, very, very reliable source that there was a landman powwow in Lafayette this weekend. Did You attend the smokefilled room with the other landmen and Houston Lawyers coming up with new scemes to use on the land owners. It was brought up in this meeting about a "DRY HOLE". I did not even start this DISCUSSION but several have been told about this mysterious "DRY HOLE" With so many wells with no data on completion reports are you all trying to hide how well all of these wells are actually doing. Many wells reached TD in April but still have not placed a report on sonris. Are the O&G companies trying to delay the facts about what the potential of these wells are. Maybe instead of trying to bash people's comments you could help out a little. What do you know about the "DRY HOLE"? Where is it at Township Range and Section.

OK Jim continue to educate us. How do you determine if a well is a Wildcat or not by looking at a well on Sonris? I know that this is getting way off subject. So let me add once again Do you have any knowledge of a well drilled into the strata refered to as the Haynesville Shale that was or is a "DRY HOLE"
