Kicker: In my "unit", I was informed by the Benton Courthouse that they did not have any record of anyone ever reserving the mineral rights to MY land. I can't remember the name of it, but I then went to the (?Louisiana State Conservation?) office located by Schumpert Hospital and that is where the man looked up our "Unit" (Section,Range, and Township) and informed me that there where either 3 or 4(?) wells in our area, one which never produced and the others are no longer producing and haven't in a while. I was then informed that I do have my mineral rights.
Oh, by the way, PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE ME ON EXACT NAMES OR NUMBERS because I am at work and do not have all the information in front of me. But I can say with 100% accuracy that I, AND I REPEAT, I was told that there are no producing wells in my unit (T20N,R13W,S11)! So if I am incorrect, that means that the State Office informed me incorrectly. I want to make myself very clear since people have been critiquing everything so harshly. (LOL). Hope this helps you out. Sorry it took so long to respond to your question.

Hello folks, my name is Shawn, I'm active duty air force, and I live east of Benton 1 mile on Finley rd. I own 5 acres there and have been working with a good friend of mine who lives in the Haughton area. He and I have been putting a group together in the Haughton, Benton, and Bossier area. We currently have about 5,000 acres put together (around 500 acres in Benton) and are dealing with Chesepeake directly. We turned down our last offer of $17,000 per acre bonus w/30% royalties. We are a very serious group with our own lease that benifits the land owner. We are working on getting $25,000 an acre bonus w/30% royalties. If you are interested in joinin our group here is our contact info. (we are not charging anything for this, and we are NOT land men, we simply know that there is strength in numbers and you are completely free to sign at anytime with your own deal). Here is our contact info.
Shawn Jeardoe 318-965-5551 hm 318-820-9954 cell
Shawn Allen 318-268-1558
Hope to hear from you all. Thanks

It was nice to speak with some of you last night on the phone. I'm going to get the info needed from Shawn Allen so I can do most of the leg work for our group in the Benton area. He is swamped right now with getting things in the Haughton and Bossier City taken care of.
I will need you
Name,
address,
acreage,
and a short statement from you that the group has permission to negotiate your gas rights with the Oil/Gas companies. This is not a binding contract and at any time you can back out or make you own deal. It is mainly for Shawn and I to know how many acres we have to work with.
More to come.

The best time to call is in the even on my home phone and during the day on my cell. Thanks.

I also live in the Benton area- Woodlake South. I'd love to get more details about what section, etc. my property is in. From what I understand, I have to get the info from the Benton Courthouse, or maybe someone out there can tell me.

You should have all the info you need on your property tax notice/reciept. Oh and heads up, the mineral value of you land Will increase your tax appraisal value, We got a notice from the Tax office yesterday-some of our properties tax assessments nearly doubled.
