Both noteworthy and recent, the extension of the Austin chalk horizontal drilling play into Louisiana has been as closely watched as it has been controversial. The play has been controversial for the critics who claim the Louisiana chalk boom is simply the latest chapter in the chalk`s boom and bust history. The play is closely watched by chalk enthusiasts who have seen Louisiana horizontal wells yield as much as 80,000 bbl of oil and 250 MMcf of gas in a single month. Who is right? How will the play develop? This article presents a geological assessment of the play and offers some insights into the future of horizontal drilling in Louisiana.
