Yancey Test Well Completion Report Filed 5/7/2025

It is a Well Record Only filing, but it does provide some valuable info. The G-1 form shows that the well was drilled to a TVD of 18,551 feet.

Top of Bossier was encountered at 16,259 TVD, and Haynesville at 17,640, so the Bossier interval is 1,381 feet thick at the well location. No other formation was listed down to the completion depth of 18,551, so the presumption is that the Haynesville is at least 911 feet thick. The entire Bossier/Haynesville interval is more than 2,292 feet thick at this location, indicating the possibility of multiple landing zones.

I think the data strongly suggest that whoever is behind this test well (best guess is Expand/Chesapeake) is going after the same target zones as Aethon, Comstock, and Mitsui.

Now we wait for a drilling permit…

The Bossier Formation gets a lot thicker and the top is deeper the further South and South East you go in Houston County. The Richards well is Southwest of Crockett and the Cook is just East of Crockett on Hwy 287.
