You're welcome, Iris.  I hope the prospect expands south to include your minerals.

Thanks for the link and information. 

I have property in tract 42790 and was recently offered a revised lease agreement by Tacoma.

Maybe drilling activity is in the near future since they are nominating state lands.

The amount and location of the state leases would require a number of wells to HBP.  I expect drilling will start in the next 60 days if not sooner.  These state tracts are not the first taken in this prospect.

Skip,have you had any indication of the target or depth?......I have heard 4 different people say the same thing "big oil play just above the Haynesville" just this week..Tacoma Energy and Strata Acquisitions have been trying to lease, but they won't say for who.

Most of the leases are "all depths" but some reserve specific depths.  I believe this is Anadarko with intentions to drill horizontal wells prospective for "liquids".  Not oil, wet gas with  associated Natural Gas Liquids (NGL).  The target seems to be Haynesville but could include other formations/zones.  There are some existing units in 20N -14W formed by Devon in the early days of the Haynesville Shale.  That Field Order established units for the Cotton Valley, Haynesville and Smackover zones.  Of course that was before the first HA wells were drilled in N Caddo.  We should see the first new unit applications in the coming weeks.  Then we will know for sure.

Hi Skip,

Is there any specific area that is being leased?

Thanks,

Mike, the leasing that I believe is associated with this prospect runs generally from the southern shore of Caddo Lake from Buzzards Bay to just east of the dam and then south along Hwy. 1 to just north of Blanchard and east to and slightly across the river.  I have township grids indicating all the sections where leases have been taken but there is still a lot of area unaccounted for as it is Held By Production (HBP).  Much of that could be included but would not have a lease filed in the Clerk of Court's records.
