It seems that all of the conversation about lower brown dense takes place on one thread. It also seems
that all of the interest and activity is in Union Parish. I am curious if any mineral owner in lower southeastern Union County has had their lease options renewed or released. Do the experts
or the ones who have watched this brown dense play feel that Union County will never be tested and
that SWN will simply walk away from several thousand acres of leases. I have been "out of touch" lately
and would greatly appreciate any input....Thanks...Jim Burgess

Jim, my lease does not come up for renewal until next year and I don't know anyone that has reached the renewal point. I am actually leased to Cabot and they drilled the 1 well in Union and it only IP at 200 bbls. They had about 15K acres in Union Parish and Union Co. ANKOR took their leases in Union Parish but not Union Co..I think you will see SWN drill a well in Union Co. this year. They have the Dick James unit already established but they may want to try another spot.
I meant to say 2014.
Tony,
My leases in Union County come up for renewal in May and Dec. 2014.
I have just recently been 0ffered $300,1/5, 3 yr,.with 4yr. option for same amount for
a 280 acre tract and a 50 ac. tract in Union Parish. One tract near Oakland and the other
near Sadie, La. Also had an offer for 3D seisic on a 30ac. tract near Marion, $5 per acre.
What do you think??? Anybody can respond.....Jim Burgess.
Jim,
I don't know where Oakland and Sadie are, do you have the sec. township and range? I am not surprised at that offer in Union Parish. I think that is the "Hot spot" right now. I hope you get renewed in Union Co. I, like you, can't believe they would let all those options expire in Union Co. without drilling a single well. As far as the 3D, I think the people in the 3D Millerton project in Claiborne received $15 per acre. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!
L.Davis,
My acreage is in the vicinity of Strong Ark, in Union County. I know Dick James and do know that a drill site was established on some of his acreage about 2 years ago. I believe it was in the Junction City area...not sure.....Jim B.
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
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 |
