If you study Ms Haines website, you'll read a lot about the HS play...And also notice that they sponsor training/workshop conventions for landmen and Acquisition/Development/Production Companies with a purpose of giving them tips, tricks, and negotiating tactics for gaining mineral leases and/or making contacts with the big fish that they can flip their acquired leases over to for a profit/ or how to locate needy landowners with mineral rights in the upcoming sweet spots for lower contract acquisition costs. In fact, there's a big training event convention for O/G development companies & landmen in Dallas that they sponsor on Sept 3rd and 4th. What do you wanna bet that they have done some mining of landowner opinions or focus info from this website and the forum discussions 'by county/parish' in order to better address the "tips and tricks for closing mineral leases to increase profits" portion of their workshop? Just take a look at the topics http://www.hartenergyconferences.com/presentations.html
...wouldn't we like to be a fly on the wall?

I liked Ms. Haines comment re. "There's a whole lot of learnin' to do." What isn't stated is that we're now up to a 25% royalty from a traditional 1/8 royalty. Whose to say we all won't take our bonus money & royalties, buy stock in these companies, and hold controling shares? If NW La owned the majority of shares, we might get durn close to that 100% royalty.
