DEFINING THE HAYNESVILLE

摘要

In March 2008, word about the vast potential of the Haynesville shale play began to leak out with the announcements by Petrohawk Energy Corp. and Chesapeake Energy Corp. of a large lease play developing in northwestern Louisiana. Some stunning well results followed, and operators have since flocked to the play, which extends about 80 miles from west to east and spans the Texas-Louisiana border.
