...Booths, exhibits, demonstrations and information sessions were the buzz inside the Shreveport Convention Center this past Friday for the first Haynesville Shale Expo that was held from 1:15pm to 7:00pm.

This HUGE event was hosted by the City of Shreveport and presented by The Shreveport Times and the energy companies -- Chesapeake, Devon, EnCana, Petrohawk and XTO. Regional Chambers of Commerce also served as hosts.

Now... for those of you who are not from the local area and would like to know a little bit about what all the fuss is about over this Large Natural Gas Deposit... here’s a little inf0 on the Haynesville Shale just for you.

For one... The Haynesville Shale is one of the richest fields of natural gas ever discovered in this part of the country and some have said it could be the 4th largest natural gas field in the world. Only time and a lot more drilling will tell for sure and as one of the many land owners, I... along with many others... can’t wait to know the final verdict!

Most all of the Natural gas production from the Haynesville Shale occurs within rocks about two miles down... underneath northwestern Louisiana, southwestern Arkansas and eastern Texas. Although the gas field covers about eight parishes in the northwestern part of Louisiana, the most productive areas thus far have been in Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, DeSoto, Red River and Webster Parishes plus a few adjacent areas in southwestern Arkansas and east Texas.
