In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |

Tammy, are you keeping up with the Olympia Minerals well that was permitted in section 16 of T8N-R8W ? That section joins our section 20 at the Northeast corner. It is about a mile and 1/4 away from us as a crow flys. You need to get ready. Its a coming soon.

Buzz!
Where? section 16 of T8N-R8W. What? A application to drill an oil well. Who? Olimpic minerals holds the lease. Brammer engeneering will be the operator. Tammy, section 16 joins section 20 at the northeast corner and section 20 is where we are located. at the nearest point it could be as close as 1/2 mile and at its most distant point 1 and 1/2 mile from us. I don't know the exact location in section 16 that it will be drilled. I think it might be time to keep your ear to the ground. If they hit oil, the land men will be knocking on your door. From what I have read they are targeting the Eagle Ford formation.
Later, and good luck
