We own no minerals in Louisiana but I try to keep an eye on wells in Caddo and DeSoto parishes because they are contiguous to Harrison and Panola Counties.

If I am reading the information correctly, there are currently 5 operators (Chesapeake, Covey Park, etc) drilling directional wells to depths of over 20,000 feet in the western portion of these two parishes at present.  The experts will know if I am incorrect on the depth.

You're welcome, Kathy.  All the land owners help us to keep up with the what and where of development activity across our region. A mutual aid society if you will.

I am.  :-)
