I dunno, but in 2012-2014 Freeport was actively pursuing the same concept albeit in Acadia Parish. They had the leases set and were preparing to bring in a rig,etc when the price started to dive in October of 2014 that well was going to be at least 25000 feet as well.

A hole to hell was what they were calling it.

Pretty sure it was vertical. I was with XOM when they drilled the original hole to ~30k and know 3 of the guys that were on the rig. MacMoRan took it over and deepened to current depth. For a long time it was a well nobody would mention in certain company.

Companies come in and suck out all the oil and gas. A few people get richer because of connections, and the company make millions. And the state? Poor as ever.


OK, let’s not drill any more O&G wells in LA then. Fair enough.

The state gets royalties on O&G produced from state lands.

The state gets taxes on all O&G produced, including from private lands.

Is leaving O&G underground a better solution?
