I was advised I should create my own Blog and I guess that is right So Thanks BYW Congrates to the owners of this site for being Here
Hello Haynesville Shalers My name is Gary Hogan and I have been involved with The Barnett Gas Play in North Texas and Fort Worth , Texas> I even had the oppurtunity to be part of a story done by Rick Rowe about a year ago as Gas Drilling moved to Louisiana. I must disclose I am not a big fan of intense close in urban gas drilling such as is done in…

What and who are Cobra Petroleum, as they seem to be trying to buy mineral rights I have already leased to someone else? Anyone heard of them?

i am very interested in any help I may can get concerning some land in DeSoto Parish called
Gay Island. It is now owned by a Bethard as I've been told, but was purchased by my grandmother in 1912. My uncle always told me that Gay Island belonged to our family, but the court house had burned and he wasn't ever able to provide enough proof. His mother was Roxie Gay and she purchased Gay Island around 1912.
Anyone who might could give me some insight on this, I would appreciate…

If Anyone watches FOX news with Glen Beck, I've got an idea. With thousands of members on this site, we all should buy a copyof his book, send the proceeds to our senators to help push for natural gas drilling in our state and neighboring states,push for offshore drilling, and send some of the proceeds to Alaska to push for the vote for the ANWAR Project , so we can get this natural gas rolling in this country which belongs to us! Our new pigme cars are going to need alot of it. And don't…

Well, I hate to admit but I had to tresspass on the Hall#5. I Hope Matador isn't reading this! The peice of equipment they were fighting with the other day was going on top of the well head. They had all the valves turned off this morning (7-02-09). But their was a pretty good gas leak coming from it. Being the concerned O&G citizen I am, I tried to get in touch with my trusty old contact with matador, no luck. But there is some good news. They do have the pipeline set up,flare there,and a…

Orville Welcoming Dennis
Inspiration for me has been challenging to come by over the last 10 days or so. Last Sunday night, we got the midnight call that none of us ever want to receive; my wife’s brother, Dennis, had been shot & killed at his residence. Initially we thought it was an accidental shooting, but police have since concluded that it was intentional and are treating it as a homicide. It is believed that Dennis had gone…

Once upon a time, before the Haynesville Shale introduced Northwest Louisiana to the concept of a resource play, the search for oil and gas was conducted by many smaller companies. These smaller companies would drill the more traditional prospects, looking for that hidden resevoir of oil or gas. Now, with the HA shale, large companies have aquired enormous leaseholds and effectivly push out the small independents.
I have watched as these small independents have had to go elsewhere in…

Joe Dyer here, I have been reading all my messages in my box the last few months. To be honest with everyone I have been rather disapointed. We have seen to have lost site of why we started GoHaynesvilleShale. We all need to remember why this site was started, to share information about the Natural Gas situation that we have been blessed with. We need to share our information on everything we learn and find out. I know we all have our differences, but I think we should not use this site to show…

We signed three years ago for pennies. Today I received a letter stating they had extended our contract until 2011. Included was the same amount for bonus as we originally received( pennies). The contract does read that they can extend the contract. However, I thought they had to re negotiate the bonus amount. Thanks for the help. I'm new @ this blog thing so bare with me

If anyone has any leads let me know.
Thanks

I read the Mineral code back and forth, however I located a deed that my parents had sold a small portion of land in 1985. At the conclusion of the deed I noticed a section that stated ** Seller retains One-Half (1/2) of the Mineral Rights on the property herein conveyed. So is possible the mineral rights could be held since, this was allowed by the Judge to include this caption. All ears for answers.

You see it
inside the beltway and everywhere else; A lack of appreciation for the contributions of rural America. Sometimes it's subtle, but it's there alright. Take this line from a Forbes' article, using a worn and tired theme, by Jesse Bogan on the Haynesville Shale.
"...the stream of shale lurks two miles under the pastures,
trailer homes and piney woods of the region."…

Morality used to be the standard by which law was enacted. The law helped govern and foster what was the morally acceptible actions that were expected from the citizenship under said law. Once upon a time, the two seemed indistinguishable from each other.
Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 and the 13th Ammendment in 1865 , many felt that slavery was immoral. Yet even after its passages, there were factions that felt it was their right to own slaves. But after many years…
