Not quite in my neighborhood, appreciate the update though.

Hi, Tiger. It's just nice to know that some members are still keeping up with North Caddo. The members I am most concerned about are just across the line in Marion County. It's been so long since they have had anything substantive to discuss, I fear they have all gone AWOL. Much still remains to be revealed in the HS Play. Some of it may be production from zones/formations other than the HS. If it makes mailbox money, we should not complain.

Electro, If there was another well north of this one, I missed it. It has been quite a while (over a year) since I tracked any development activity in Marion County. As you and I have discussed the new Rodessa Field well (probably a Hosston) and the possibility of productive formations other than the HS in north Caddo, I thought this well was worth a mention. One of the most prescient observations ever posted to GHS was by Les B. when he reminded us that the possibility of future production from shallower formations/zones in many cases would be directly related to new knowledge created by the exploration for the HS. Even if this particular well does not prove the Bossier (Haynesville) to be productive north of Karnack, it will produce new knowledge/science of the prospective nature of other plays in that vicinity.

Electro, it looks to me that this well is just across the state line from 21N - 16W. Just so those members reading this thread get a proper understanding, the well being discussed as a Bossier Shale well is, in TX parlance, a Haynesville Shale well. Or at least a Haynesville formation well. Is it sand or is it shale?

It must be between Buzzard Bay and Potters point on the southend of Caddo Lake on Swansons Landing

Coonman, wouldn't three miles north of Karnack place the well on the north shore west of Potter's Point? Swanson's and Buzzard Bay would be due east of Karnack I believe.

Yeah your right..... I know there is a well in that area .... between Buzzard Bay and Potters point on the southend of Caddo Lake on Swansons Landing..

Coonman. Well location reports are purposely vague. I looked at the map and in general I think the well referenced is a little further west than I originally thought. Maybe the west shore of Carter Lake. So it would be on an east-west line with Oil City and across the state line from 20N - 16W.

do you have map of the southside I am talking about maybe I can look up the well I am talking about...I know it was drilled over 10,000 ft

The map I use in my work has much greater detail for LA. Not so much for TX. If the well is in TX., a member who knows the RRC database could help you with a location.

Do you mean 102,000 mcf or do you really mean 102,000 cubic feet of gas which is 102 mcf, which is not a very good well?

Digger. The well report is a cut and paste from the E. TX. Drilling Report and it is "102,000 cubic feet of gas" (102 mcfd). Is it "not a very good well" for a vertical? Who knows? There are no wells in the area to compare it to that I am aware of. And it is impossible to extrapolate a vertical completion to a theoretical horizontal completion. The news is that someone (Forest Oil Corporation) actually drilled to Haynesville Shale (Bossier in TX. parlance) depths in Marion County. The IP of their vertical well is of little consequence. They now have a log of the HA/BA depths in this area. What will come of it? Once again, who knows? But GHS members in Marion and north Caddo haven't had much to talk about lately so I thought it was worth bringing to their attention.
