Natural Gas Futures Near $5.90 /Per Million British Thermal Units At Mid-December 2009

A 7 percent jump for natural gas futures occurs during energy trading on Dec. 17 as the Energy Information Administration reports a drop for U. S. natural gas supplies. During Dec. 17 morning trading, natural gas for January delivery was up 40 cents, or 7.3%, at $5.86 per million British thermal units. Cold weather in recent days over the northern part of the U. S. is partially responsible for this drop in natural gas supplies.

COTTON VALLEY AND LOWER COTTON VALLEY UNITS WITH DEPTH DEFINITIONS INCLUDING THE HAYNESVILLE FORMATION

For some time I have been aware that there were Drilling & Production Units formed as other than HA (Haynesville) Units but which none the less included the HA zone in their depth definition. In the Summer of 2008, the Commissioner of the LA. Office of Conservation issued an order forbidding the inclusion of the HA zone in a unit with sandstone formations. Those units already approved were grandfathered. I posed a question to the LOC staff requesting to know how many of those units…

I have heard rumor that they were supposed to drill this month but I have not seen an approved permit to that affect.

Approximately 130+ acres of the section did… Continue

Does state retain mineral rights forever?

We have land purchased in 1952 at a sheriff's sale where the state retained mineral rights. There's been no production until 2009. Usually the mineral rights go to the land owner after 10 years with no production. We found out they still have the mineral rights and have already leased the land according to Chesapeak. Do we have any recourse in the situation?
