Is Harvey #1 in the PW Harvey survey?

I was told by the TX RRC that the "H" after the well number means horizonal and not Haynesville. IS this correct? We are part of a pool in Shelby County in the Quinn Unit(Angie James Lime) and I thought that was a Haynesville shale well but apparently not. TX RRC said a Haynesville Shale well goes 11,000 to 14,000 and the Quinn Unit only went down to 7500. Does anyone know any info on this?

in another discussion i posted two completion reports on wells about 5 or 6 miles apart in s/w shelby. the shale and the cotten valley lime run very close together in this area and for the TRC to say shale is 11k-14k is a little misleading.IMHO. i am still looking over reports but it seems to me operators may be confusing zone names on purpose in order to keep the shale quite. also i am trying to figure out if some operators may be mistakenly calling LIME, shale in order to bolster investor revenue. just a couple of my free flowing ideas and i will try to substaniate with real and accurate information very soon.

Winter, make sure not to confuse the James Lime with the the Cotton Valley/Haynesville Lime. The 7500 ft sounds consistent with the depth of the James Lime.

The Haynesville/Bossier formation is much deeper. In addition, in Texas the name Bossier Shale is generally used for the Haynesville/Bossier Shale by the TRRC. The Cotton Valley/Haynesville Lime is at essentially the same depth as the Haynesville/Bossier Shale. Also, some information indicates that in some parts of the play the shale actually trends into a limestone so it becomes difficult to distinguish between the two.

Yes, "H" after the well number means a horizontal well. In Louisiana the "H" is placed in front ot the number.

Thanks Les and King John for the info. Les thinks for the education.

les, just wondering how operators can confuse shale and lime??? dont the drillers take samples and cuttings so as to not confuse the two? not to mention their logs?

KJ, I was referring to people other than operators (consultants, analysts, etc) trying to determine if a particular part of the play in East Texas was Haynesville/Bossier Shale or Haynesville Limestone.

Approximately, how many miles is the Harvey from the well to be drilled on the John English Survey by Unit Petroleum? I have never seen Unit Petroleum on the Directory. Where is it headquartered?
