Prescription and Mineral Sevitudes (Part 2)

Prescription of non use is the most commonly litigated issue concerning mineral sevitudes.



The mineral code provides that prescription commences from the date when the servitude is created.



According to The Mineral Code, a use of a sevitude suffiecient to interupt prescription consists of good faith operations for the discovery and production of minerals. The code reqires proof of three elements to establish good faith.

Prescription and Mineral Sevitudes (Part 1)

Louisiana follows the non-ownership theory of oil and gas, thus there is no seperate mineral estate. Any attempts to sell or reserve the ownership of oil and gas results in a Mineral Servitude.



The most important legal consequence of the mineral servitude is that unlike a mineral estate that can be created in perpetuity with no obligation on the owner to use its rights is that a mineral servitude is subject to perscription of non-use for ten years.



Article 21 of the… Continue

Elwood Mead, where are you when we need you?

As some of us realized early on in the Haynesville Shale play, environmental issues would soon begin to surface. The environmental group in the back pages of GHS was formed early on even if mostly ignored. Currently at issue seems to be our water supply ... the aquifers, the watersheds, the waterways & lakes.



Recently continuing my search for information, I dug up the Selected Writings of Elwood Mead. And there I got immersed, although not necessarily for baptismal purposes, for… Continue

question between sections and units

does the section # of the well name mean the same thing as the unit? and if so do all owners in a paticular section, such as section 33, split the royalties from that production section?

Caddo Assessors Office for Dummies

I posted this in a disscusion earlier and thought it informative. Please feel free to comment, I will update, add or correct any information as time goes on.



The driving and time aside, I personally believe every landowner should have a copy of the assessors plat for land they own. You can make your trip even more worthwhile by checking to see what they have assesed you for. You can challange your assessment if you feel its too high and many times they will knock a little off just to… Continue

Why this "job" is fun...

Here is what a recent member posted on my comment wall recently.



"What a great site !!!!!! I just moved back to Shreveport, Louisiana from East Texas (Jasper) were things have slowed down. Before I went to Texas for 3 1/2 years, I worked for a broker and leased several thousand acres for Encana in Natchitoches Parish. I had wondered what was going on in that area and the rest of the Hayesville Shale(although I did not know at the time I was leasing that there was any thing called "… Continue

Haynesville Shale—A Primer

Authors: Brian Bohm, P.G., ALL Consulting; Teri S. Holmes, M.S., ALL Consulting





Introduction

Natural gas captured from organic shale formations is not new to the oil and gas industry; shale gas has been produced since the early 1800s (DOE, 2009). Most shale gas formations have historically been deemed economically impractical to drill due to the available technology and relative abundance of domestic conventional natural gas… Continue

A Haynesville Head-Scratcher

Didn't see this coming....





On Friday, Canadian media reported that EnCana (NYSE: ECA) and its partner Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) (NYSE: RDS-B) were looking to farm out over 130,000 acres of their Haynesville shale position to a partner. I don't blame you if you're confused by the move.



Just the other week, EnCana decided to pour more dollars (freed up by sagging service costs) into the Haynesville play. On the conference call, management identified the play as… Continue

State to Review Haynesville Shale Unitization

Many of you have noticed the billboards around Shreveport posted by our "fairdrilling" group. Many are aware of our mission: to influence our state to enforce our state law on drilling units (Title 30:9) and to craft a new unitization system, specifically for the Haynesville Shale, that will protect property rights and be fair to everyone. Progress is being made! For details please visit: www.fairdrilling.com and go to "Letters from State."…
