I'm also in BDGR. They have properties north,east and west of the Sentell field that may contain the Haynesville Shale. The area of the Haynesville Shale has yet to be determined. Sunday before last The Shreveport Times listed a completion in the East Haynesville Field in Claiborne Parish, that is very near the Arkansas Louisiana state line.
From Last Sunday's Shreveport Times Locations:

Haynesville Shale Evaluation
The Company disclosed that it is actively evaluating the potential for drilling and producing natural gas from the Haynesville Shale, an emerging natural gas play, in its Sentell Field. Numerous vertical and horizontal wells have been drilled, logged and put into production from the Haynesville formation within a 30-mile radius of Southern Star's Sentell Field. Other operators have reported in their public disclosures that certain wells targeting the Haynesville formation have initial production rates of at least 8 million cubic feet per day with flowing casing pressure of 5,000 pounds per square inch. Southern Star's 5,700-acre Sentell Field has the potential for about 35 Haynesville wells positioned on 160-acre spacing. There are no probable or possible reserve estimates for the Haynesville Shale potential in Southern Star's year-end 2008 reserve report.
David Gibbs, Southern Star President and Chief Executive Officer said: "From a valuation perspective, the year-end 2008 reserve report offers a first glimpse into how quickly our drilling and completion work added reserves and established a foundation for our future. We are cash flow positive each month, a true testament to our work. Further, recent transactions by operators, notably EnCana's $457 million purchase of 88,920 acres in northern Louisiana and Chesapeake Energy's leasehold swap for prospective Haynesville acreage in East Texas for approximately $17,000 per acre are clear indicators of how the industry values the vast potential of the Haynesville Shale. We will begin a 10-well drilling program in August, and will start by drilling two Cotton Valley wells before drilling our first vertical Haynesville test well. We have an exciting opportunity to convert our proved undeveloped Cotton Valley inventory into cash flow as part of our 2008/2009 drilling program and we will perform an extensive technical evaluation of the Haynesville potential. We have an exciting 12 months ahead of us."
About Southern Star Energy
Southern Star Energy's strategy is to acquire under-drilled oil and natural gas leases with significant proven development drilling opportunities, and use all available technologies to increase the valuation of the acquired assets. This strategy reduces Southern Star's risk, allowing the Company to build free cash flow for strategic acquisitions. The Company owns a 40% working interest in approximately 5,700 acres in the Sentell Field, located in the heart of the known Cotton Valley trend north of Shreveport, La. To date, the Company has drilled five successful tests of the Cotton Valley sands, all of which are connected to the market, and producing revenues. The Company will embark on a 10-well development program in the third quarter of 2008, drilling for the Cotton Valley sand and Haynesville shale.
