"This may explain why for my relatively modest Bossier Parish acreage, I have recently been inundated with offers of up to 10K/acre for my mineral rights, a rate I was not offered even in the early days of the Haynesville play."

VIAJE Oil & Gas, Bossier Parish Activity
As the Bossier forum has not had any postings for a couple of years, I thought I would post this here on the general forum site. Our family has owned for many years mineral interests in Bossier Parish, Section 12, T16N, R12W. During the early years of the Haynesville Shale play, the many wells in this section (and adjoining ones) were steady royalty payers. That ended about 5 years ago and we were under the impression this field had been played out.To our surprise, last month we received a very…See More

BPX Laterals in Elm Grove Field, Bossier
Received a letter indicating BPX plans a couple of cross unit horizontal wells in Sections 13 and 14 in Bossier Parish. I was under the impression that that shallow field had been played out as my royalties from that area have trickled to practically nothing. Curious if any others with mineral interests in that area know anything about this.I would have posted this question on the Bossier sub-site but the last posting there appears to have been over a year ago.See More

Best way to pass mineral rights to next generation
After reviewing many of the posts regarding mineral rights inheritance in Louisiana, I could not find a reply to one poster's question on the value of forming family LLCs to hold mineral rights. Evidently, many LA attorney's recommend them but I have yet to see anyone list compelling reasons for relatively small mineral rights owners to go to the expense to form one.
In my case, I collect relatively small royalties from some 40 wells scattered on many small lots spread throughout…

Pipeline Easement Lease Rate
I apologize if this issue has been talked about before on this blog but I have not been able to locate any discussion on it. Has anyone been approached by an energy company to sign a pipeline easement contract? If so does anyone know what the going rate is in the Haynesville Shale is? I was offered a "per rod" price for the lease but I have no idea if it is a fair offer. Thanks
