Comment by howard johnson on September 27, 2011 at 2:43pm: There is a well 5 miles north of Lexington. Drilled around February, now abandoned. Anyone lnow the status?

Comment by DJG on September 16, 2011 at 12:18pm: Enervest's prime emphasis seems to be working the Austin Chalk in this region. That said, in their investor presentations, they do state that much/most of their Austin Chalk acreage should be "prospective" for Eagle Ford production. The lion's share of that acreage is HBP due to the Chalk wells, however, so they don't seem to be in any hurry to begin development of those deeper Eagle Ford prospects.

Comment by Ernest V. Bruchez on September 16, 2011 at 11:38am: I don't think EnerVest currently has plans to attempt any "Eagle Ford" fracs in Lee County. I understand they will be doing conventional fracs as they conduct several per year on existing wells as needed.

Comment by kathy stark schreiber on September 16, 2011 at 9:55am: Thank you for the info. Does anyone know if Enervest is going to be doing any fracking on the Eagle ford shale?

Comment by Ernest V. Bruchez on September 10, 2011 at 6:13pm: Activity in Lee County has been spotty. Some think that if an area has been productive in the Austin Chalk, it may not be a good prospect for shale production. Additionally, a lot of Lee County mineral acreage is HBP. Thus, there is no urgency in being the first or on the cutting edge to attempt to determine the technical requirements to successfully develop the area. Time will tell.

Comment by kathy stark schreiber on September 10, 2011 at 5:26pm: I own some small minerals out Ledbetter way , Enervest and XTO have them. Does anyone know if they are doing anything in that area? One well is Gas and OIl.
