Hello everyone. Hope you’re all doing well these days…
Before we get started off with this round of posts on the Haynesville Shale, I just wanted to comment on the news out today on the startup of the first time ever drilling of the Haynesville Shale inside the Shreveport city limits. That’s GREAT NEWS for Shreveport and the residence of. Not to mention all those property owners.
I for one would have to say to all the different Groups out there, in the City Limits that are still sitting on the fence with their mineral rights… ‘IF YOU SNOOZE -- YOU LOSE’.
It’s looking to me like the door is finally closing on the Lets make a Deal on your Mineral Rights. So if one doesn’t want to get in a position of being “Forced Pooled’, it’s probably time to start getting back together and see where you need to go with all of this. Good luck to you all too! I really mean that…
Now… Let’s get started off with this round of posts on the Haynesville Shale.
* Here’s an article I found posted up on the ShreveportTimes.com website this morning touching off on the future drilling within the Shreveport City Limits. It starts off like this... Drilling of Shreveport's first well in the Haynesville Shale natural gas formation will begin this week next to Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway… It's important to know that urban drilling is different," Joan Dunlap, vice president of Petrohawk Energy Corp., said during the company's news conference at the well site Monday afternoon. "I know there are a lot of issues associated with urban drilling… Petrohawk Energy crews have cleared out the pad site for the well at the end of the riverfront parkway near the start of the Jimmie Davis Bridge, she said...The announcement of the site had less to do with any outside factors than it did keeping the lease on the property active — it is the site of the former Hamel's Amusement Park, Dunlap said…

* KSLA.com reports it this way…
Since its discovery back in April of 2008, the Haynesville Shale has already had a massive impact on the ArklaTex, bringing in millions of dollars in lease money and jobs for all the drilling. Now, the nation's hottest natural gas play has hit another milestone: the first urban drilling rig will soon appear within Shreveport city limits. Site work began on Friday with crews clearing out what was once an open field behind Hamel's park between Clyde Fant and 70th Street.

POST UPDATE:

* KSLA.com has this report posted today. It starts off like this…
A major lease-broker in the Haynesville Shale confirms they will not be negotiating with groups anymore. It's not good news for many of the dozens of neighborhood organizations that have formed over the past several months in search of better lease terms… Monday night KSLA News 12 reported that the East 80 Oil and Gas Leasing Coalition has run into a roadblock in their attempts to negotiate with Chesapeake Energy: they've been told the company's leasing broker, Twin Cities Development, will only deal with individuals…
