A place for discussion of oil and gas mineral activity in Avoyelles Parish which sits over the Austin Chalk, Tuscaloosa Trend and other formations.
Location: Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana

The earliest record of a permit for an oil well in Avoyelles Parish is June 19, 1920 for the Bordelon well near Goudeau. Only four wells were permitted in Avoyelles in the 1920s, with two near Cocoville and one near Fifth Ward, In 1933 the Haas oil field was discovered south of Bunkie which set off an oil boom in this part of the parish. The Haas field still produces oil today. In the 1960s, there were several wells permitted during a second oil boom for the parish. In the 1970s, much of the parish was leased for the Tuscaloosa Trend which did not fan out. In 2009, drilling began in the deeper Austin Chalk formations, with exploration of the Tuscaloosa Shale coming soon. GEOLOGICAL LAYORS BENEATH AVOYELLES: Frio ~3,000 feet; Sparta at about 6.500 ft.; Wilcox ~12,000 feet; Austin Chalk ~15,300 feet; Eagle Ford ~15,800 feet; TMS below Eagle Ford.

My wifes family signed a 3 yr. lease with Halcon last night 500 a acre and 25% roy. It is 32 acres in Fith Ward off Business Loop rd. They have interst in Sec. 26. at these time Time will tell.
I wonder how far east? Still in Avoyelles? There are some permits to drill in west of Morganza on the Atchaflaya bordering St. Landry Parish.
Thank you Skip. Thats the advice i needed. They are coming . Im in the Zone . Last Landman said to my Mother and Myself. Patience is the Key.
Guys, it's not a good idea to contact Woodland or any other broker/operator. Much better to let them come to you. If you contact them expect to get their lowest offer if they have any interest at all. If your minerals are located where they are leasing they will get around to contacting you.

Does not sound encouraging, Robert. You might try calling the Avoyelles clerk of court's office and they may be able to have a contact for you to Woodland.
Im hearing that Anadarco wells are not any good from TAGCO land leasing head guy. And that Anadarco has not budget any money for new leasing here in Avoyelles for 12. Are the wells here not good as he stated? Is there any other companies i can call to lease my LAnd In Cottonport? The Tagco guy says Woodland Petro is still leasing out of Lafayette. I cant find them on Google to call.
I have been speaking to Severval Minerial buyers for a friend of mines land. Prices have dropt and some are waiting to see what is going to come of the AC a little more solid info. One fellow said that Anadarco is noteven going to go into the TMC. Staying in AC. Dont know why.
David,
Well, end of January has come, and we do not see a report out by Pryme. Hopefully soon we will all know.
Is there any new action associated with the Rabalais 35 with the flow testing?
Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
