Duke 6H Lease Production 9/20/08


A look at Friday's volume shows current production has dropped from the prior week. However, there was no production today as noted by the "final sales" reading below. No clue as to why the well was offline.
Total Volume is quite impressive so far.
The zero flow rate shows that the 6H was offline today.

Country Roads near Aquilla lake

Years ago children waited at this country school bus stop on HCR 2127, or so I was told.

Something NEW for Hill County

I was recently asked by the editor of The Bluff Line Times to write an article on gas drilling in Hill county. The Times, aka the "BLT", is an eclectic periodic publication celebrating and promoting the "Good Folks" Network in Hill and Surrounding counties. Click on the documents below to read my attempt at journalism, and to learn more about this great newsletter.

Duke Unit - SWEET Spot in Hill Co?

The first readings of production from Forest Oil's first frac'd Duke Unit, just east of Peoria. Could this be Hill county's sweet spot?
According to the TX/RRC this is the largest IP volume recorded in the Hill county Barnett so far. (Thanks to my friend William Morrison, aka 'Oilguy' for verifying those stats)

Gathering Meter Station on Hwy 22

These meters record production volume from the Duke lease. One meter is for the lease, the other for 'final sales' shown in photos below.
These meters show a large volume in a relatively short time period.

Pioneer Day's Coming Soon to Whitney Area

Mark this date on your calendar. I hear there is a lot of fun and entertainment in store for this event.

Signs in Johnson and Hill County

New signage on Hwy 174, about 2 miles south of Cleburne, shows the area location of several oil and gas service companies with Barnett Shale operations in Johnson, Hill and surrounding counties.
A bird? A plane? No, it's...I'm not sure. Saw this huge 'object' navigating the streets of Whitney.
It resembles a solid rocket booster from a space shuttle mission.
I assume that an object this large could possibly be headed to a nearby nuclear facilty. Maybe someone could comment on what this might be.
