Okay folks, Haynesville has granted permission for me to ask y'all what you would ask the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources Secretary Scott Angelle and Commissioner of the Office of Conservation, Jim Welsh. KSLA will be sitting down with Angelle and Welsh this week, and we'd like to take an interactive approach in posing the questions you would like answers to. It would be best to have all the questions in by Thursday, Noon.
So, fire away by posting them under this discussion, and KSLA will ask as many of them as time allows.
Edited to update: due to Gustav, the the Governor has asked state department heads to stay in town. Our interview will be rescheduled once the threat has passed.

Guvner got his eye on the gulf.
With good reason my friend. The mother ship may be circleing the area again like it did three years ago.
It ain't lookin good for the home team. Even that freaking name sounds bad.
Cillian I do not know if KSLA had plans for a 30 minute show but I will be willing to bet that you will have more that enough topics to fill one. I know that I will be patiently waiting for this to happen and will definitely be watching when it does. Thanks for your efforts on this item of extreme public interest.
Where do we go to find out the status of a well. Is there a web site that will tell us if a well is completed, is dry or how much it is producing?
Sonris lite . Check your comment wall Flairs.
Why do we have to drive to Baton Rouge for hearings? Can't they be scheduled and held in Shreveport so more people in the Haynesville shale area can attend.
What kind of fines do they pay for not releasing information and data on wells? If they are withholding information for long periods of time or giving misinformation why don't they hold off on giving more permits to drill new wells when they are keeping this information so they will benefit from the landowners so they can lease for lower $$'s . If they hold off on permits this could give the landowners a more even playing field.
I think that it would be a great help if the Dept. of Natural Resources and Office of Conservation could briefly outline their basic duties and if they have any responsibility, or not, to protect the interests of the landowners. I believe that if their offices could let us know what they can/or cannot do to be of service concerning leases, enforcement, auditing of o/g company records, etc. Many of us are unhappy with some of the recent decisions made by Mr. Welsh's office because many of the decisions seem to only favor the o/g company. Does his office have any duty at all to protect our interests? The landowners would benefit to know what the 2 offices can or can't do.
Thanks a million to the good folks at KSLA.

It seems that the KSLA people are the only TV media people that recognize just what an enormous economic benefit the Upper Jurassic trend in NW Louisiana and East Texas represents to the entire population within that considerable area of the world.
These benefits should (and will ) flow to everyone, in the form of good and better paying jobs, better schools, better roads, improved county and parish governmental services--virtually an economic renaissance over the 5600 square mile area it's projected to encompass. Truly a blessing and if it develops as it well might, the entire United States could finally have the means to get over our dependence on foreign sources of crude oil for our transportation fuel of necessity rather than CHOICE. If this phenomenon is in fact the largest natural gas discovery in North America and fourth largest in the entire world, Americans have the wherewithal to get that ever tightening economic stranglehold OPEC has on this nation. And what a national blessing that represents--virtually providential for every America citizen.

Now that my editorial is finished, I would like to ask the Commissioner this question.

Why haven't the considerable geological (and geophysical) resources of the states of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas been utilized to produce and PUBLICIZE understandable information--both from an economic and geologic standpoint--that the Upper Jurassic trend represents to citizens of those three states? (I know the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin has vast resources and I feel certain that Louisiana and Arkansas has them as well) Many of us have been left in the dark about the area, its value and its future potential. Thank you.
