It looks like JW is up to its old tricks again. They want to commingle all production including the Haynesville. This time they do mention that they would do this only if the unit ownership interest is the same. Yeah right. Read item number six of the enclosed PDF.

Jay, I know people are sensitive to this topic but commingling has been done in many parts of Louisiana and Texas long before the Haynesville Shale. It can be beneficial as it could allow for accelerated production from any shallow formations by commingling in a deeper Haynesville Shale producing well.
Baron, normally the operator waits until the deeper horizon partially depletes and then then adds the shallower production. This is a very common practice in several states.
Bobi, you are absolutely correct. It may allow an operator to produce a shallower thin sandstone that does not contain sufficient reserves to justify a separate well. That would be what I call lagniappe and would add incremental royalty dollars.
I was under the impression that many of the LCV wells in Elm Grove ARE HS wells in disguise. There is indeed something fishy and I need to investigate when I have the time!
