How do we reach buyers?

My cousin and I have acreage in Caddo Parish.  We would like to sell it, but I can't get anyone to respond to inquiries.  I've left voice mails, sent emails, filled out website forms with several companies over the last couple of months and NOTHING.  Is this usual?  Is there another way to contact potential buyers?  Help...

SALI, pursuing a sale will bring you low ball offers at best and indicate that you are desperate.  Not a good way to pursue a fair market price.  Here is what I suggest.  Click on my name in blue and it will take you to my personal page.  You will need to send me a friend request and once I approve it you can contact me directly either through a website message on my page or by using my email address that I post on my private page.  If you will give me the basic information on your minerals - acres, location by section-township-range and the royalty fraction in your lease - I will tell you if I see any reason for buyers ignoring your offer to sell.  I will also tell you what I think your minerals may be worth.

Reaching out to a buyer will not get you a good offer.  If you have acreage in a good area they will find you.  My phone rings off of the hook with offers.

Dale, if SALI has been ignored by mineral companies there is something that is a problem.  I've asked for the basic information so that I can look to see what the problem(s) may be. I will not speculate but if there was no problem and the acreage was in a good area, one or more offers would have been forthcoming by now.  Hopefully whatever is causing mineral buyers to shy away can be addressed.

For sure.  It must be something.  Anything in Caddo, unless way way north, should command attention.  Maybe a title issue.

It is in Caddo and way north.  Too far north.

I broke the news to Sali on a private website message.  Section 7 - 20N-14W is four miles north of the nearest Haynesville Shale wells.  Two HA wells with two section laterals were drilled in 33-20N-14W and 4 -19N-14W.  Portions of 19N-14W are shale.  There are only twelve HA wells in that township.  Not many.  Somewhere in 19N-14W the Haynesville formation grades from shale to sandstone and is no longer economic.  That is the northern extent of the shale.

Just wanted to thank everyone, especially Skip, for your insights. We'll move on from here.

You're welcome, Sali.  Good luck.
