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…

The History of GoHaynesvilleShale.com

GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention. The website was the brainchild of Keith Mauck, a landowner and entrepreneur who recognized a pressing need: landowners in the region had little access to…

Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets oil and natural gas resources, the techniques and byproducts of shale extraction are increasingly linked to the search for lithium, a crucial element in the production of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems.…

GHS Community,

We launched GoHaynesvilleShale.com in the summer of 2008, to simply get answers to our own questions regarding the leasing and drilling of our family farm. At the time, my oldest was 2, she’s now 14! It was a pretty innocuous beginning, but when the website lit up with activity, I realized just how much of a vital a service the website provided. However, we’ve hit a rough patch with the pandemic and we are seeking donations from those that value GHS.

Shalers,

American Business Conferences has been long time sponsors of this community. Essentially, since the beginning of this website-that's nearly 12 years! With COVID restrictions in place, they are focusing on virtual events as they get things moving again. But, they…

Kris Freeman with 31 Operating just contacted me re: $ owed me. I hope that he did so with those others of you that he owed royalties to. A thought: let's not let something like this get this far out of hand before speaking up. I can assure you I won't wait so long again to bring up the problem! Thanks for all of your input.

Me and my two brothers had a lease that has now expired and no other Landman or Oil Company has approached us for the Mineral Rights we have in Angelina County, Lufkin Texas.

Original lease was in 2015 but expired earlier this Year.

Chandler Johnson A-19 is location.

Foreclose, Commercial property, no bank subrogation (they didn't sign off on the oil and gas lease).  I purchased the minerals from the bank so I am now an unleased mineral owner.  At the time of drilling and for a few years after the minerals were under lease executed by the borrower.  

So am I, as an unleased mineral owner, responsible for the costs of the well?  (aka, do I have to wait for the well to payoff before i start receiving a royalty).  Assuming I shouldn't have to pay for…

Lower Tick Creek Brown Dense sell off by SWN comes after failure to payout Sharp22, 3rd quarter 2016, when Sharp 22 well costs were covered.  $7million of Sharp 22 production directed to SWN, bypassing UMI's.  UMI's were wrongly billed JIB expenses for Benson 27. After 1700 JIB was netted by SWN from one UMI's production, under protest, a collection agent for SWN called to demand $89 dollars to clear the JIB billing expense.  So much corruption...

Now a Velandera Energy…

When Sonris Lite is used to pull up the well information, a click on the serial number on that information page will list associated documents .

We are a novice in trying to understand Sonris. We own approximately 38 acres in both Red River and Bienville Parishes.  14N R7 33,34 outside of Ashland and 12N 8 29 near Grand Bayou Reservoir. Both were leased twice about 8 years ago, but have not had any further leasing opportunities except the occasional generic letter asking if we would like to sell our rights. We can no longer locate the coordinates on the Ashland area on Sonris. Do not know if the land has been removed from Haynesville…

Limited Entry Fracturing

Plug and perf (or limited entry) is the preferred and most common fracturing method for unconventional wells. Often employed in wells with cemented liners, it involves pumping down a bridge plug on wireline with perforating guns. The plug is set at a horizontal location near the well toe and the zone is then perforated. Next, the tools are removed from the well and the fracture stimulation treatment gets pumped in. A ball-activated plug…

I am owner of undivided 200 or so acres in Sabine Parish...along the Many highway, just east of the

bridge to Texas.  Property acquired by my grandfather in early 1930's ... long-term timber lease granted to

large lumber concern in the 1940's ... this lease still in play.  Interested in suggestions as to how to value and

sell my interest.  Thank you for any assistance to this rookie.

With activity in the area picking up, I want to remind you that the …

Shaler,

Now that we are back on the old platform, there are a couple things I'd like to bring to your attention to get back in the groove.

Please note that the LA Haynesville data used only represents the data from the wells in which ShaleCast members claim ownership.…

Any reports on these wells?
