Natchitoches parish/The quiet before the storm?
New members join and leave no comment? There are now 244 members in the Natchitoches group with no new comments in months. The truth is I have not left comments myself in months. Is this because there is no drilling activity? No interest being shown by "Big O/G companies?" As Sarah would say "you bet ya." Louisiana should be leading the way in the creation of demand for CNG cars and promoting the "Boon Pickens Plan." As Shalers we all need to continue to contact our elected officials and remind them that the tax revenue they can get from our minerals will help fix our roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, and other needed projects in our state. Keep the pressure on, or should I say "show them the money" /that is all politicans understand anyway. I sometimes feel we are not getting our moneys worth out of the politicans and surely not big business. At present the o/g companies want to keep playing down the interest in the Hainesville so they can come in when the time is right and get the leases cheap. I say to the land owners, "don't grow weary or fall asleep." We need to cling to our minerals like we do our guns. Who knows, Natchitoches might some day look like Houston, Texas and be the center or heart of the Hainesville. Good luck and keep promoting Louisiana.

That seems to be exactly what Mud Man said. I and others say different. Then I have been called crazy before. As they say on ufo hunters, "The truth is out there"

Marilynn,
For one thing, as has been stated on here many times, no company is going to give you any true information on the seismic testing that they payed many millions of dollars for. That is just not good business. You will never get any straight info on seismic testing.
Now, lets get to Natchitoches Parish. Do I think a considerable portion of Natchitoches Parish is Haynesville Shale productive? Yes I do.
Do I think Natchitoches Parish landowners are fixing to start getting large lease bonuses? No, I do not.
Why? Because it is more expensive and problamatic to drill the HA in Natchitoches Parish than it is in areas to the north.
Is this a bad thing? No, not necessarily. There is plenty of gas in at least a good part of Natchitoches Parish, but it is just not economically feasable to drill at this time. Also, keep in mind, Natchitoches Parish has parts of it (who knows what parts) that will have "Jurrasic play". Meaning CV, HA, the Bossier and SMK. We are just going to have to sit back and wait for better prices and a better economy before things start to happen.
I wish all in Natchitoches Parish good luck. -
