Help out the Little Guy: Reserve your Shallow Rights!!

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… Continue

Our Site Needs to Unite

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… Continue

Mineral Rights

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.

The Haynesville Shale will Even Help the Elitist Heat their Home

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."…

When Legality And Morality Are No Longer One In The Same

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… Continue

Fracking: The Next Agent of Global Crises

First drinking water, now earthquakes? Truly becoming a "nuisance" for all seasons. Fracking may need an image makeover before this is all done. Maybe a new & younger woman by its side.



"At issue is a drilling practice called "fracking," in which water is injected into the ground at high pressure to fracture the layers of shale and release natural gas trapped in the rock. There is no consensus among scientists about whether the practice is contributing to the quakes. But such… Continue

PARKER, WHERE ARE YOU, AND WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?

I have a confession. Dare I tell it? I may as well bite the bullet and just tell my deep dark secret.
