As of December 31, 2014, Southwestern held approximately 304,371 net acres in the area at an average cost of $831 per acre. Southwestern’s leases have an approximate 81% average net revenue interest and an average primary lease term of approximately three years, which may be extended for approximately three to four additional years. As of December 31, 2014, Southwestern had drilled 14 operated wells in the area, six of which were currently producing. Late in 2014, Southwestern acquired 75 miles of 3-D seismic data and is currently in the process of analyzing that data and the results to date.

However while searching the website and reading the press release and presentation I happened to look at the Brown Dense page. I hadn't looked at it in months because it went so long without an update before the recent one, June, 2015. I was surprised at the number of acres the company claims to still have active leases on. Makes me wonder if there has been a good bit of lease extensions that have not been mentioned here on GHS.

It is good to see that the Brown Dense GHS members are hanging in there. Hopefully there will be something tangible to discuss in the near future.

I guess posts like these keep hope alive for my sister and I that SWN will actually do some drilling while I am still young enough to enjoy the royalties.

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…

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 | Links |
