It seems that EnCana is only major player in Haynesville that is not drilling the Cotton Valley or Haynesville. EXCO has flipped or contracted their Cotton Valley CULs to Indigo, BHP to Sklar, Chesapeake to Indigo, EnCana to no one. Can anyone shed any light on this.

Ever counted the ECA wells in Bossier?  Suggest that you do.  Hint: In Caddo ECA has one HA well.  ECA started in DeSoto and leased south.  SWEPI started down in Sabine and leased north.  Their minimal Bossier leasehold may have been acquired outside of the JV with SWEPI.

Skip, I was just looking online at Desoto records and you are absolutely right about SWEPI & EnCana sharing leases; however in the Holly Field where EnCana has lots of leases, I couldn't find any JV's. It seems the JV with SWEPI was in south Desoto and Bossier.

I mean SWEPI!!

kittycatmama,

  Do any of the JV's mention Bossier.  I've looked at the Bossier records and there are none recorded.

I have in the past seen instruments recorded in the wrong Parish.  If any of those JV's mention Bossier Parish, it may have been an oversight that they did not record them in Bossier.

I leased to Encana via petrohawk. Blackstone now owns the lease and xto is producing it. Its confusing. Farming out, buying or trading... Im not sure!

Carla, where are your minerals located?

In the penguins but mostly keydets unit on fm 1277 nwxt to A-43 Blackston, spears suevey... penguines permitted

Thanks.  As I posted previously the Encana Haynesville leasehold was acquired by XTO in E TX, not in NW LA.

There are few ECA wells in Bossier and one in Caddo.  The ECA/SWEPI JV covered DeSoto, Red River and Sabine parishes.  Considering that there are about 3 dozen conveyance instruments from ECA to SWEPI recorded in DeSoto, it would lake many hours to review the lands and leases covered in them all.

Encana only has two wells in Bossier, but when you have an interest in those wells...they are the only wells.  LOL.

I'm just trying to find out if I need to be interested in XTO's happenings.  There sure as heck aren't any ECA happenings.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

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…
