Columbia County Arkansas Drilling Activity

Greetings all,

I don't see any conversations about recent drilling activity in Columbia county. Is the shale formation to tight for fracking to work? Apparently interest in south Arkansas has dwindled. My lease ran out and no one has contacted me for a new lease.

Would like to hear from those in the know.

Thanks,

RB

Am in the same boat as I leased about 1400 ac in Columbia County and the renewal is due in July.  Last contact I had was in Jan with a SWE landperson who  indicated that the company was trying to decide which leases they would renew.  Sounded as if not much would be released.  Have heard nothing since.

There is an on going discussion on the subject of lease renewals in the Lower Smackover Brown Dense Group.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

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 Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
