Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Houston-based Southern Star Operating has successfully drilled and logged the Cotton Valley interval in a vertical well in Bossier Parish, La. The #2 Atkins-Lincoln 17 is in Section 17-19n-13w and was cased to 9,500 ft. with intermediate 7-in. pipe. Southern Star is drilling to test the deeper Haynesville shale at about 11,000 ft. Wireline and mud logs indicate the well encountered 68 ft. of net effective gas pay in Cotton Valley that the company says are characteristic of each of its seven previously successful Cotton Valley wells.
