Thanks for having this site and all who have contributed useful information. And thanks for keeping it simple. I have yet to figure out the "Mineral Rights" web page but everyone advises me to keep at it... eventually you'll understand it.

Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on The focus of GHS, from the beginning, was to attempt to explain the complex and arcane elements of owning and managing mineral interests.

Please consider donating to GHS. Disclaimer: neither I or any other industry member is paid by Keith. We are here because you are here.

Permalink Reply by Hopeful About Natural Gas on GHS is a great site. When it started it was like nothing else on the net. It was great to read the ups and downs of minerals and natural gas. Keith has done a super job running it for over 10 years. How many Internet sites last that long?
Also, I don't know of any other site like that has such a diverse collection of members - from landowners, mineral owers and industry professionals. Plus, the information is almost always good since the pros will dig into it. I don't recall ever seeing a member taken advantage of or belittled on this board.

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…
