ShreveCentre Coalition article from today's paper<br />
Attending Wednesday's meeting were authorized representatives from associations from across east Shreveport, collectively representing thousands of area homeowners and thousands of acres of land. Those 24 associations were made official members of the coalition. Other recognized associations can join the coalition, as well as unofficial groups of Shreveport property owners who are not members of a chartered association.<br />
Elected president of the organization was Jack McLeod, president of Jackson Square Towne House Homes Association and the Southeast Shreveport Homeowners Alliance. Serving as vice president will be Larry Farley, president of the Captain Shreve Neighborhood Association. Delores Hackler, of Town South Neighborhood Association, was voted the group's secretary.<br />
"The purpose of the coalition is to negotiate the best deal possible for the property owners' gas and mineral leases related to the Haynesville Shale," said McLeod. "The coalition will work without any compensation, and there will be no charge to the individual property owner."<br />
ShreveCentre Coalition is being advised by industry experts, who suggest that there is strength in numbers when negotiating for bonus payments, primary and option lease terms, royalty percentages, and other relevant and necessary lease terms.<br />
The group intends to develop and launch a Web site in the next few weeks to provide detailed instructions on how other groups may join the coalition, answer frequently asked questions, and include other resources. The coalition also has a blog on The Times' Web site, shreveporttimes.com, where individual associations can post updates for their members.<br />
"Over the next few weeks, we are advising all landowners throughout Shreveport not to agree to any mineral lease deal, or sign any document presented by an oil and gas production company," said McLeod. "At this point, the experts have convinced us that it is in everyone's best interests to simply wait."

This is an excellent and reassuring post. I hear so many second or third hand anecdotes that I was wondering if I had missed the boat. Thank you for your post.

Thanks for the input. I reposted part of this in case other's did not pull this discussion up and they may see it again and respond. There is just so much info on this and everyone has different ideas, so I am not sure what to do.

This discovery in LA is just so amazing. The people (even one's that owned a good portion of land) in the most part, have never had a lot of money. LA is finally going to get recognition for things that are not totally negative for once. I am not a greedy person and if I could get a substantial "signing bonus" for one small piece of land, my little property will have paid for itself.<br />
<br />
I guess I read somewhere that these leases are from 1 to 3 years unless they actually drill and hit paydirt and then the lease may extend automatically, without renewal for another span of time. I guess if I were to get signed up and they did not drill on my property that in a few years it may be back up to lease again, depending on what is going on around the other properties close to me. Does anyone actually know the timeframe for the drilling to begin?<br />

Jeanne, I don't know the absolute answer to your questions, but since I joined this website just a few weeks ago I've gotten a better all round sense of what's going on. Here are some answers I know:<br />
<br />
Yes, your one acre counts. I live in a neighborhood in Shreveport and only have a half an acre.<br />
<br />
Whatever you do don't spend any money getting advice. There is plenty of that going round for free. You know some people are more reliable than others so use your best judgment.<br />

Don't sign anything until you compare what similar properties in your area are getting. It's just like selling a car or selling a house.<br />
<br />
There is absolutely NO HURRY to sign anything.<br />

Are you saying that the citizens in the neighborhoods in any parish should first meet with each other and sign up as a group and then meet with the companies and present the properties that are then a part of this group? I only own an acre of land in DeSoto Parish and I live out of town. Would I still be able to join this group to have them represent me in the bidding process, or would I need to be present? I guess that would be up to the "group."<br />

Are you saying that the citizens in the neighborhoods in any parish should first meet with each other and sign up as a group and then meet with the companies and present the properties that are then a part of this group?

I guess that would be up to the "group."<br />
<br />
I am hearing where a certain amount of money is being offered to land owners for each acre of land. I can see where a company would offer me a larger amount of money if I owned a large amount of land. However, do they really need or want my one little acre? There have been neighborhood meetings with different companies in DeSoto but I keep hearing there are some issues with the contracts being offered. My question is, if they really don't want or need my plot, am I better off going with one of these companies at a meeting, than waiting and hoping later on down the line the real players are going to want to offer me bigger bucks for my plot? I don't know if they will ever need my land, so they may never come to me. I have heard from several other's that have large quantities of land that it is better to wait, but I am not sure that waiting is going to benefit me down the road. It may be later they will offer me something for my land, but if it is not a necessary piece of the plot they need, they may just offer me some little something just because I am offering it.<br />
<br />
Any comments on this? I really don't know what I should do at this point, but I really do not see a company contacting me for my small property.<br />
