Shell has permitted the first Haynesville Shale well to test T7N-R11W. This well is at least four miles south of other Haynesville Shale wells in the area and should provide test of the southern edge of the play when drilled and completed.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…

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 |
