Brine Lease Offers?

by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant

Feb 7, 2022

Thanks to Joe Lovelace for bringing this to the members' attention.  Much of the brine leases in south Arkansas were taken years ago when the demand and value of the by products was considerably less than currently.  Although there are other by products of worth, Lithium is the focus of efforts to increase brine extraction.  Help get the word out and provide some details to help members get up to speed.

    Question Rock Man.  Since the Smackover is a thick sequence, might the concentration of brine and lithium vary by depth?

      Cass County Brine Lease Update. 

      East Texas Natural Resources Operating (ETNR) has taken Brine Leases in the northwest corner of Cass County near Bryans Mill and Marietta.

      On August 9th ETNR filed an Application for a Permit to Drill a 40 acre Wildcat well in the George Morris Svy A-679.

      Permit Application and Well Location Plat are attached.

      It may be this is a well to test for lithium content in the zones penetrated.

        Some decent lithium concentrations around Bryans Mill area as per original analyses. But one has to avoid areas there where water injection was used to maintain Smackover reservoir pressure- odds are high this injected water diluted original mineral concentrations.

        Millions of barrels of injected water in this field area.
