Scotlandville community is bounded to the west by the Illinois Central Railroad (now Canadian National) and the Kansas City Southern Railroad on the east, Central Road to the north and Harding Boulevard to the south. The larger Scotlandville community got its name from Scott Plantation and Scott’s Bluffs. It was these bluffs rising out of the Mississippi River that attracted the first Spanish settlers to what is now Baton Rouge. Southern University, which sits on these bluffs, was established in 1880 in New Orleans and moved to Baton Rouge in 1914. Although the town of Scotlandville was well established long before Southern University moved to the bluffs, you cannot describe one without including the other.
In 1895 the French peacefully negotiated a protectorate over Yatenga; in 1896 they forcefully occupied Ouagadougou; and in 1897 they annexed Gourma and the lands of the Bobo, Lobi, and Gurunsi peoples. An Anglo-French agreement in 1898 established the boundary with the Gold Coast (now Ghana) (Liebhardt 2007, 78-106). The region of present-day Burkina Faso was administered as part of the French colony of Soudan (then called Upper Senegal-Niger and now mostly part of Mali) until 1919, when it was made a separate protectorate as Upper Volta. In 1932, it was divided among Côte d'Ivoire, Soudan, and Niger for administrative convenience. In 1947, Upper Volta was reestablished as a separate territory within the French Union, and in 1958 it became an autonomous republic within the French

The productive limits of the ground have not been determined, but cover more than one million acres, and this could reach two million acres, when more ground is proven. Initial production (IP) rates often exceed 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day with a 90% oil and liquids mix, very styling today. The Wolfcamp is a blanket formation across the Permian Basin and acts as a source rock for much of the areas conventional oil and gas production. The Wolfcamp rock unit generally varies in thickness from 800-1,200 feet, with some areas up to 2,000 feet thick. The depth of the Wolfcamp formation varies from around 5,000 feet on the normally pressured southeastern side of the play to more than 10,000 feet in the over pressured northwest, where the play is generally considered richer in oil.
