Hey Jim! Sorry I am so slow in getting back to you. I just neer noticed that I had a "message section!" Too funny! But anyway, whats the latest on leasing and such in Bienville Parish? I havent heard a word from anybody either way. You can either message me back or email me at DAWNLPN2004 at yahoo. Have a good one! ~d~

Yeah I saw the cables hooked up by the school. Hope they finish up soon and say they want what they found and bring us some offers!!!

Hey Jim! You're from Saline? Well us good ole boys have to be of good stock! Ever hear of Pistol Hill at Saline? That is where I was raised. Mighty good people and pretty country down there.

My wife and I have lived in Bossier City for 52 years but visited often when my mother was living. Don't go as often now but always good to meet anyone from down there! I did not notice the friends option until yesterday. Sorry for not contacting you earlier. Guess we need a class in operating this computer.

Hope to visit with you sometime.

Hey Jim, I know I hate the way the main page is in regards to locating Natchitoches Parish. If you go to the main page where all the parishes/counties are located go to the very bottom and hit the link view all and you'll then be able to find natch parish forum. If you click on the messenger discussion you will read where ms messenger has since posted and if you visit her page you'll see all the pictures from the well. If you check on the main pages pictures link you'll find not only all the pictures ms messenger posted you'll find some aerial shots of the area as well.

When you can post your pics, it's been great to see the well finally. Thanks for always keeping me posted about the area. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.
Talk to you soon,

Jim, my sister-in-law also has 19.09 acres in Bienville Parish, S12, T14N, Range R6W. She stated she would like to be a part of the group if one is formed.

I don't know all I need to know at this time about the oil company activities. I am wondering... I hear the companies will set up the wells close to a section line and do horizontal drilling on that section as well as on the next section, therefore sucking out the oil from the adjoining section with no royalties paid to those landowners. Is there a way to protect ourselves from this type of drilling at the time of signing our lease. Just wondering...

From previous water well drilling on the property the lignite is 650 feet from the top of the ground. The water wells are 850 feet deep. There are 2 wells involved on my 14 acres and my brother's 10 acres which adjoin each other. Both were set out with superior pines in 2005. My brother and I will lease our land but it will be at a fair price and will not be donated to the oil or gas companies. We are well aware of the amount people are being paid for leases and $400.00 will not be enough! I'd rather watch my pine trees grow!

I would be glad to be a part of a Bienville group to meet and discuss the options.

jim i read the following post from you on the site....
I don't have any section #, but I can tell you what I know. Around the cross roads of Hwy 126 and 505 toward Winnfield and toward Dodson up to the Big pipe line west of Dodson. I spoke to a man yesterday just down the road from the well that was drilled by the big pipe line, and he told me that the land man has not made it that far east, he lives just east of the big pipe line on Hwy 126. The well is just west of the pipe line.

have you found out any further info on this well...my land is in the 12-6 area of goldonna la
