Is this good or bad for mineral owners

I think it is good. BEUSA drilled its last well over four years ago. I suspect that Indigo will drill CV wells in those BEUSA sections.

Who will do the haynesville wells?

At some point I suspect Indigo would farm out the Haynesville zone. If they establish CV production they can hold the units until natural gas prices rebound in the future. Or they can participate in new HA wells drilled by other operating companies if any have an interest in drilling in this price environment.

You're welcome, ray. The acquisition of the BEUSA acreage may actually make Indigo's NW LA holdings a more attractive acquisition opportunity for a larger E&P company in the future.

Thanks, Robert. Bridas started drilling CV and HOSS wells a few years prior to the advent of the Haynesville Shale. Use this link to see their producing wells:
