The last I had heard, the meeting was at the FBC, 8/19. I was asked to bring a copy of purchase by EnCana, March of 2007. Invited folks and they drove up to the FBC. I've been working on a blue line map and there are some sections that are mostly open. Much of the middle of 9/10 is leased. Leasing has slowed down because of need for a pipeline to flow and companys have leased more than they can get drilled in five years.

The companies don't like what the cities are doing. Personally, if I was wearing the shoes of land men, I'd get frustrated at folks sending them to other folks handling their land. I'm for getting legal advice. I feel that when the big company get ready to drill, they'll do whatever they need. My preference is to deal straight with whoever is drilling.

What do you mean "the companies don't like what the cities are doing"?

I'm guessing at this, but the city owns so much land & they won't accept less than $XXXX amount for ALL the land and they want it on ONE lease. From an O/G standpoint, that's a pretty big chunk of money. I read that one of the Parishes is only accepting $27500/acre for parish owned land.
