The purpose of this paper is to evaluate well construction cost in the Louisiana Haynesville shale from 2007 to 2012 and present cost statistics and correlations at a regional and operator level. Over half of the wells constructed in Louisiana's Haynesville shale since its discovery cost between $8 and $11million to drill and complete, and the average well cost is $9.95million. EP Energy LLC realized the lowest average drilling and completion cost at $8.4million per well, and the highest average cost among leading operators was Swepi LP at $11.1million per well. We conclude with an empirical analysis of learning effects.
