Randy the people in South Rapides Parish are still waiting for the additional wells to be drilled on the HBP acrage in the Austin Chalk held by Chesapeake since the mid 1990s.

I understand you can always find exceptions and examples. In this case, there is SO much money invested, I don't care if I never hear the words "the investors" ever again. I just don't believe it will sit in the ground, I could be wrong I suppose.

I agree this formation will be drilled but there is going to be problems in holding their interest for the amount of time necessary to do the drilling. Large units are one of the ways the companys will use to get to their goal of holding as much land as they can without going back in and re-leasing or extending at much higher prices than todays.

I heard the Commissioner, Jim Welsh, state that his office had not received any requests or any units larger than 640.

Also, in neogitating with Chesapeake, their first lease draft had the pooling area of up to 1920, but as soon as I asked for the limit to be a 640, they agreed to it and changed it to 640 with no problem.

We are in a 940 acre unit so units can be larger than 640. TCB O

Really? I have seen units smaller with the shallower wells but 940 acres is sure news to me. Thank you for letting me know. Was it on an old well and done some time back? Are the royalties paid out on a 940 basis?

Just make sure in your new lease that you limit the units just to be sure.
