Goodrich Petroleum Corp., which is drilling in Texas’ Panola and Rusk counties, said the Billy Harris No. 1H, a horizontal well in a portion of the Haynesville Shale, produced into sales at a 24-hour peak production rate of 12.2 MMcf/d on a 24/64-inch choke with 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. The well, which Goodrich owns and operates, was drilled and completed with a 5,000-foot lateral and 20 hydraulic fracturing stages. A fourth horizontal well also was completed in Goodrich’s Cotton Valley/Taylor Sand holdings. The GT Waldrop 5H, which the company also owns and operates, is in “early stages of flow back,” and to date has a 24-hour peak production rate of 4.1 MMcf/d. The producer in 2009 completed its second operated well in East Texas, the Lutheran Church 5HR in Panola County, which had an initial production rate of 9 MMcf/d on a 26/64-inch choke with 4,375 psi (see NGI, June 8, 2009).
