Chesapeake et al drilling for the HS have a real conundrum on their hands. They keep drilling at these low gas prices where they are losing $ for every well they spud. They keep drilling and increasing US gas production. This keeps the surplus growing, thus supressing prices. They think they must keep drilling to maintain production because of steep decline rates, and to prop up their stock price. What they are doing is giving the gas away at these ridiculously low prices , and going deeper in…

Did you know the Haynesville Shale was an unconventional gas source (unconventional meaning a gas that is more difficult to extract)? You had better know this by now. lol. In fact the Haynesville is 1 of 10 shale plays predicted to become mega-fields with ultimate production of at least 30 Tcf each. This is the subject of the DUG 2009 Conference and GHS Site member Austin Eudaly will be covering this conference for GHS. Be sure to touch base…

Does anyone know anything about the well they are preparing to put in RRP, T 14N-R9W-SEC30 ?
I see it looks like they have the pad built ?, not sure about all the terminology used----just wondering if anyone knows if they are planning on completing the well while onsite or if they will come back later to drill?
Thanks,
Trisha

I think one of the things I miss most about living in the US (other than my family and friends, of course) is the GREAT FOOD I grew up on in the south. Simply nothing like it anywhere!! Though I often eat grilled fish, rice, salad and miso soup (made from soy beans) for breakfast now, I still often dream of grits mixed with scrambled eggs and buttermilk cornbread muffins (no joke). My last trip to Atlanta had me giggling like a kid over the HUGE blackberries I had for breakfast at my hotel. I…

Heron and the Hummingbird
(Hitchiti Tribe)
retold by
S. E. Schlosser
Heron and Hummingbird were very good friends, even though one was tall and gangly and awkward and one was small and sleek and fast. They both loved to eat fish. The Hummingbird preferred small fish like minnows and Heron liked the large ones.
One day, Hummingbird said to his friend: "I am not sure there are enough fish in the world for both of our kind to eat. Why don't we have a race to see which of…

Rallying cry from 1920 (workers of the world unite). Ralling shout for 2009 (haynesville shale unleased mineral owners unite). We cannot use collective bargaining as our greatgrandfathers did in the 1920s or the neighboorhood shale groups in 2008. but we can unite and compile what information we have as individuals into a larger body of knowledge that collectively, perhaps we can piece together enough information to contend with the energy companies that want 75% of our minerals . the bar…

DO YOU TRUST YOUR LANDMAN ENOUGH TO MARRY HIM/HER?
A mineral lease has a longer life than most marriages. Since this document may be longer lasting than a marriage, why would you enter into it lightly?
Some may look at it with the dreaming eyed impetuous hopes or the same mindset as a teenager who would get married in a Las Vegas drive through Chapel. I’ve heard people say “it’s all free money, so why does it even matter?”. Nothing in life is free, so a little…

Shalers,
The EnergyBiz Leadrship Forum was put together well. The focus of the conference tackled the effects of the Obama stimulus package on the power industry, as well as the short- and long-term consequences of the energy and economic crises. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was a little disappointed that CNG was not directly tackled in depth. It seemed that every other energy aspect was covered except CNG. This absence is probably explained when one looks at the current…
