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.

It can be something Haynesville Shale related or a blog telling me what kind of tree I am based on my birthday month! Anything, I just eat it up. I have hungered for nearly 2 weeks for anything written by Parker.

Obama: "We have a lot to learn from Brazil" - Ok then, let's learn it.

See video - at least the first minute.





I definitely agree. Let's follow Brazil's 2 prong energy policy. Sounds good to me.



- Neither the Brazilian government nor state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) is willing to stop producing oil and natural gas or to decrease output. Petrobras produces 1.9 million b/d of oil,… Continue

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.



1. Operations must be commenced… Continue

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?
