Natch - Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Unfortunately, the only info I have on the Messenger well is what I've seen online and at sonris lite. In addition, our lawyer in Natchitoches tells me that he hasn't heard any Messenger information that he considers reliable.
Natch, I have been out of pocket for the past few days and I will try to get to Winnfield on Thursday and get the info that we need. I did speak to someone over the weekend and he told me that a land man from Chesapeake contacted him and offered him $400.00 per. ac. His land is around the intersection of hwy 126 and hwy 505, I told him just to sit tight.
Jim
Yes I am getting into the Haynesville Shale excitement. I work for the government in Korea. I hope to be back in the USA next year. Hopefully come home to Louisiana and manage my gas well;-)
No, he never answered my question but I've seen several wells drilled in the national park within the last year so I would assume that gas companies are able to drill.
Hey Natch, Just got my first offer. $400.00 with 1/16. He was bottom fishing and I am sure wanting flip our lease. Sad thing is there are people that will take his offer.
Natch, I passed thru the big city of Goldonna today on my way to Winnfield, I nearly didn't make it thru town for all the traffic on the interstate. I was seven min. late at the Courthouse, I thought it closed at 5:00, not 4:30. I drove on over to the well for a look. There is no sign up to show any info. No Christmas tree either. I spoke to a man down the road, he wasn't much help all he could tell me was he thought it was in sec 19. You may can look at a couple of wells being drilled ENE of Saline in Bienville Parish the first one is Pioneer Drilling Sec 9 Twn 15N Rg 5W the other one is a Nobel rig Sec 19 Twn 16N Rg 4W. Both rigs are bigger than the ones being used south of Bossier, I looked at 6 rigs last night off Hwy 71 on my way home last night.
Thanks for the info Natch. I read the whole report . There is a lot of good dope on it, but it looks like the Canucks are shooting nice low figures out. I like the idea that they think they can still make a buck on the play. Its good for everybody to see the down-side compared the best senario.
I got yaur note and here is what I was told about the well in Winn parish, Sec24 tn13N R4W It was drilled to 6700 ft code 32(dry hole) As of 6-10-08 it was to be plugged and abandened, most wells show completion date and the P&A date however this one does not. I went out to the site a couple a weeks ago to have a look see for my self. There was no signs or any kind of info there, and the well had a simple flange bolted on. The rest of the site was still in tact. This is all that I have found out.
Have you heard anything interesting around our area? As the crow flies its only about 15 miles from my place in Saline to Goldonna. As I go about my work and take different roads around the differant areas and see the differant well sites (most of them new) I have went back to the map and have noticed most of them are about the same general area North to South as our land is, we are just a little more east. There is a new well in Red River parish ,Hall Sumitt the Sneed well Ser #236726 it is a Cotton Vally well but I am very interested in what it will end up doing, they have fracked it and have the stakes down for the pipe line. It too is west of here, and there are several new wells NE of there and in southeren Webester parish. I think it is just a matter of time for the o/g co to work over to us.
Thanks for the info....I'm having enough trouble keeping up with Webster parish. The info changes so quickly. My family signed a seismic contract a few years ago. Glad to see the O&G are proactive in the area. That gives me some faith. Appreciate ya'!!
Natch,
We are proud to have you as a honorary member. Snake told me he sent you shirt and you deserve one, everybody loves you post you put a lot of thought into them and it shows.

This should bode well for at least (and hopefully all of Natchitoches Parish) northern Natchitoches Parish, LA
Yep sure did. What is the deal with Jay and that guy Jim. Where did he come from all of a sudden. I just posted and told him that I did not see where he answered any questions or really told us anything. I asked him about Goldonna it will be interesting to see if he answers.
Thanks....when I took that pic, there was a stiff wind ENE wind, say 25 mph in that open field. I think it's possible the flame or flare maybe bigger but was wind blown and/or the flare was sheared at the top. I would estimate that flare to be about as long as door or a door and 1/2. Again, that pic was taken off I-49 and there's quite a distance from it. Todd can attest to that. Our local paper may run my pic in the days ahead. The editor looked at it today. Again, thanks for the reply back.
Hey Natch,
I hope everything is going good for you today!
I may be missing something but I can't seem to find the Natchitoches parish groop. Last night after I got home it wasn't there, and the same thing today.
I had to go to Shreveport late yesterday evening and just before 7:00 I passed by the Messanger well and took a couple of pic. with my phone. It was too far away so you couldn't see anything, if I would have been about an hour later it would have been better light and may have stood out better. Talk to ya later.
Jim
I just found your comments to me. Sorry about that, not real familiar with this ins & outs of this website. Don't know much about the Messenger well other that what's being said on this website. Most of that is pure speculation and BS. Sounds like it was a test well to determine the thickness of the shale to me. Strictly vertical. Now that they know what's there, they probably will try horizontal. The Messenger well in Red River parish that I mentioned earlier is probably horizontal. I'll have to check and see since it is not on SONRIS yet.
My family and I own property in Goldonna probably not far from yours. We also own even more land in Red River parish where things are starting to get interesting. I'll keep you posted on anything happening in Goldonna. The seismograph people are setting off their explosives now. They started at the RR parish line and are working east. Today they are between Ashland and Readhimer and are supposed to be in the Goldonna area in late Sept. or Oct.
Due to my situation, I'm fairly familiar with the O&G business in this area, though not directly. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try to find answers for you.
Hey Natch, I saw some seimo's in downtown Saline Tuesday, when I went to my place down in Dodson. Mudbuggies sittin'down from the Quik Stop. It was early and I caught a glimpse of one guy doin' a morning equip ck. I would have stopped if I had seen them sooner. I made a slow loop up through Brewtons Mill but didn't see any folks out to ask questions. I guess I need louder pipes on my Harley. Anyway no real news. I been buildin' a new deck out back o' the house an' missin' out on the GHS info. Later , Woody
Yea , how about you and yours ? I am having to nip some webster stuff in the bud. These guy's are supposed to be my friends/ex-classmates and I have no idea who they are. They keep saying nice stuff on one hand and cutting my legs out from under me on the other. I think the kind words are to make me look like a jerk if I junp them for underhanded crap.
Things seems to have gotten quite in our area with landmen. Have you heard any thing? Any thing going on in the Goldonna-Black Lake area? Seems like everyone is waiting on the Messenger well update.
Hey Natch. I think the siesmic work will generate a huge amount of interest in Natchitoches Parish. It just may take a while for the economy to pick back up and free up some money for the O & G companies. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see some of the majors show up in the area in the future.
Just dropping by to say hello. Have one "shale" of a day. Also, there some new profile questions. Check those out by clicking HERE. We are also coming up on our 10,000th member. Be sure to celebrate with me. Click HERE for more about that.
