Where? Where? Where is Wafer Road? Wafer Road tells me nothing. Everytime, do I have to get and atlas out? What Parish? What Region? What T/R/S?


This kind of info is great but the glass is half empty because I do not know WHERE?


How can we TELL where the action is and FORECAST where it is going to be next?

You will not be forced into a pool unless you have refused every reasonable offer. O/G companies will do everything possible to lease your minerals at fair market value. Forced pooling is a last resort.

I think this is true....they do not want to leave unleased landowners. It's like leaving money on the table for them.

Haynesville, Do I Hear $50,000/Acre?
July 28th, 2008 ndarbonne Posted in Uncategorized |
Think $25,000 an acre is top of the market for the Haynesville play? Don’t stop there.

When looking at Chesapeake Energy Corp.’s deal with Plains Exploration & Production, one may think acreage prices are “topping out,” says Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. research analyst Shannon Nome in her report “From Shale To Shining Shale: A Primer On North American Natural Gas Shale Plays.”

Instead, “we believe Chesapeake’s monetization was simply motivated by a pressing need for cash, and not a statement that $25,000 to $30,000 per acre is a high-water mark for leasehold values; in fact, we see ample room for rising acreage value from here.”

She estimates for the play a base case of $14-million per-well net present value, incorporating an industry-standard 10% discount rate.

“Assuming a drilling density of 80 acres per well, this would imply an amazingly high pretax net present value of $175,000 per acre. On 60-acre spacing, that value theoretically expands to a stunning $233,000 per acre.

“While these values are eye popping, we note that they are pretax and impute a 100% chance of success, and few operators are likely to lease acreage without applying some sort of risk factor.

Nome says Haynesville acreage costs “have risen at a very rapid pace. Lease bonuses in the state of Louisiana were less than $200/acre as of early this year, but quickly jumped to the $5,000 to $10,000 realm shortly following the March play announcements from Petrohawk Energy Corp. and Chesapeake.
posted by L.D. On another forum:


“More recently, bids and land transactions have been risen into the $15,000- to $20,000-per-acre range, with a mid-June transaction between Goodrich Petroleum Corp. and Chesapeake pricing out at about $17,000.

“Royalties have stayed steady on the whole, averaging 25% to date.”

Contributing to the shale report is Patrick Johnston, an associate analyst with Deutsche Bank.
