Barnett Shale - Tarrant Denton County Texas
Today, 1/28/09, Carrizo Oil & Gas provided an update on the Barnett Shale natural gas field located in Tarrant County, TX and Denton County Texas.
Since January 1st, 2009 the company has brought eleven new Barnett Shale horizontal natural gas wells on production. The combined daily production from these wells amounts to slightly over 31.5 MMcfe/day gross or 22 MMcfe/day net to Carrizo. President and CEO S. P. "Chip" Johnson, commented, "The initial production rates from these wells meet our expectations for core Barnett locations although right of way and permitting complications delayed them from coming on-stream in December as originally anticipated. Included in these new wells is our first 'stagger stacked' lateral well which was drilled on the Cain lease in southeast Tarrant County. This well tests the concept of placing two layers of horizontal wells in thicker parts of the shale. The well came on production and is performing as well as the other five wells on the lease, providing us encouraging early data to use in optimizing our future Barnett exploitation program. We currently have four rigs drilling in the core of the Barnett, three in southeast Tarrant County and one in Denton County."

Bakken Shale: Hess ( HES ) January 29, 2009
Hess ( HES ) released earnings 1/28/09 and commented a little bit on the Bakken Shale.
( From Seeking Alpha ) - The Bakken contributed about 13% of the total net reserve adds at the end of the year and that’s both a consequence of performance as well as drilling so we’ve been very pleased with our experience in the Bakken. We’ve obviously shifted downwards in the Bakken in terms of drilling activity at this time because we were really ramped up and growing and going during 2008. So, we actually welcome the opportunity to take a more studied approach to the Bakken.
With respect to profitability and the Bakken is profitable right now and I expect that in this environment as we see as John Rielly mentioned pressures on contractors and suppliers to reduce costs, that we will continue to be profitable even should crude prices continue downwards.
