I am sorry to say but it is nearly certain there is no Haynesville Shale in the Rodessa area, a parish a just a county called a parish, it's from our French Heritage.

From the article that Skip posted about Shell/Encana:

according to analysts at Calgary-based Ross Smith Energy Group Ltd. The formation straddles Louisiana, Arkansas and East Texas.

I never said there was not a Haynesville formation there, but it is nothing like the core Haynesville Shale, that has been proven from the very disappointing wells in 19N, I wish it were more than anyone as my family has 1000 acres in 21/22N. That is just a fact, there isn't one expert on here who disagrees with me.

CHK,
Hey I sure ain't no expert, but up in Township 21 and above, it is for sure the Haynesville SAND.
Nothing wrong with that, still some money to be made.
Lets all be glad for what we have, if we have anything.

It seems the area is awash in Natural Gas. There are many "experts" and talking birds who repeat their favorite experts. No person talking knows. The more "conventional wisdom" comes, the greater possibility for disinformation. I expect to make money on Cap and Trade credits before I benefit from any certitudes.
I do know there was interest around the Old Pine Island area of North Caddo last June and it could pick up once more. If it does not, so be it. My trees are young and young growth is more valuable now. That is certain. All of this Shale talk is fun but it remains just talk. Michigan, do not stay up late waiting for your ship of "shale."

JamesCO,
Sorry you aren't in the shale.
But shale, and natural gas prices, will increase in value way before your pine trees do.
And I have trees too, but my shale will make me a lot more money.

Sorry, but you don't acomplish anything on this site trying to talk down the Haynesville Shale.

Good luck with your Cap and Trade credits. Your gonna need it.

JamesCO6, if you think the Haynesville is all talk, you must have missed the 20 wells that have IP'd at over 20 million cu ft/day in the play. I also have trees and with the income from the shale, I can buy more trees, not the other way around. Hopefully they can figure out how to frac the areas in North Caddo to give up more gas. Longwood looks pretty hopeful, possibly even Caddo Pine Island if we're lucky and they're smart.

I think we all would like for our sweetest dreams to come true. If we have trees planted, they are real. Hopes for Natural Gas royalty checks are just that, hopes. Future carbon taxing is in the pike and it will impact all of us. Pointing this out is not talking down this site or the Shale. It is simply saying: do not count on hoped for income. Future carbon credits are hopes. But one does not have to be geologically gifted to benefit.

If I have incited folks, I am sorry. I would hope that I am approached by a landman once more but I will not wait. This is my way of dealing with it.

It is a little hard for me to follow you, JamesCO. Royalty checks from the Haynesville are a reality for a growing number of mineral owners in the heart of the play, right now. Pine beetles and forest fires can be pretty tough on those trees. Low housing starts aren't helping the lumber prices either, much like the recession isn't helping nat gas prices.

It is not hard to follow. I am sure most posters, those who seem to know it all, are not getting royalties or we would hear about it. Some of them simply hold mineral rights through "granny and them." They love to think they are sitting on a motherlode. Guess what? Nobody knows if they really are . As a matter of fact, no one can say when NG will go over $5.00mmcf. Those that have saved and invested in timber are watching a steady increase in acreage value and do have potential for cap and trade. Easy to follow. I fail to see what so many have a hard time following. Means they are relying on "Granny and them." There is no shortage of Hassey Hunt wantabes on this sight. If every loudmouth was in the play there would be no market for all of the gas.

The world does not depend on usa housing starts. As the dollar is replaced, there will be a big market for american timber at any number of markets. Also, timber is used for any number of infrastructure projects. Wise up Hassey!!
