Thanks for consolidating this. It is interesting to see these all side by side.

Thank you for the map comparison Les. I would like to ask your opinion as to why the huge differences in these maps and the map the DNR put out after the Haynesville shale became known showing it going all the way into Winn. Who has the best map?

Bruce, in general I believe the operators have the best maps. Having said that, there is still a lot of uncertainty to many of the boundaries due to inadequate well control information - particularly in the southern and southeastern areas.

Also, the operators' maps tend to reflect their opinion on economic boundaries of the play rather than geologic boundaries of the total Haynesville Shale area.

Les, Sabine County is the one that jumps out to me the most. A whole lot of leases were taken there yet it seems to be the area of most uncertainty on the operator's maps. What is your take on that....that they are not sure about the economics of it, or the geology, or heaven forbid, both? Seems like the operators would have access to the same data(what little there is in that area).

AL, I think it is really the uncertainty around geology along the southern edge. I am not familiar with Sabine County but there may not be enough well penetrations to adequately map in that area. Some operators such as EnCana, Devon, EOG, etc just seem more bullish on the prospects in the southern portion of the play.

I have two friends from the Sexton, north Sabine that leased their minerals to DSI Dixon services Inc. out Of Tyler. The tel. # 800-283-1696 or 903-579-9300 for 2500 per acre plus 25% royalty. If the Bronco rig #25 brings in a good one maby people will get more but thats been a good rate for this area lately. DSI told my friends that they wanted to lease more in this area.

I replaced the EnCana maps with the newer versions.

Les, thanks for the maps. I'm am a landowner leasee in Shelby County with CHK. I'm a pretty uninformed newbie in all this except what I follow here. On the CHK map what do the red a blue wells designate?

Abbott, the blue wells represent a rig that is drilling a Haynesville Shale well operated by Chesapeake. The red wells represent a rig that is drilling a Haynesville Shale well where Chesapeake has a partial ownership but the well is operated by another gas company.
