CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - November 12, 2015) - Encana Corporation (Encana) (TSX: ECA) (NYSE: ECA) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc., has completed the previously announced sale of its Haynesville natural gas assets, located in northern Louisiana, to GEP Haynesville, LLC (GeoSouthern), a joint venture formed by GeoSouthern Haynesville, LP and funds managed by GSO Capital Partners LP.

Vine O&G now has 4 rigs running in Red River Parish.  It's been a long time since Red River saw that much activity.  Hopefully GeoSouthern will also commence a drilling program in the near future.  It appears likely that members in areas of the original ECA/SWEPI operating areas will see more rigs and get new wells in 2016.

I own minerals in a unit drilled by SWEPI and Encana.  I didn't get royalty checks from Encana the last 2 months, but have continued to receive payments from Vine.   Wondering if  the sale is the basis for Encana not paying me, and wondering if others are in the same situation.

I don't know about others but it is common for there to be a delay in royalty payments when a change of operator is underway.

We are leased with EnCana in 2 areas of Desoto and got checks last month.

The announcement references "the most prolific area of the Haynesville Shale? Is that Desoto Parrish or a field? Will they be looking for recoveries like the EXCO wells in Section 6, 13n, 12w?
