Can't you imagine in some backroom, probably in DC, a bunch of 20 something policy wonks coming up with this brain child, "Here's an idea, let's become reliant on an energy source based in the desert that is dependent upon the use of H2O!"
Here is to all the beltway politicians taking aim at fracking. I don't think their efforts are aimed at protecting the environment, but rather the elimination of all hydrocarbons to fulfill the wants of the their radical… Continue

The American Natural Gas Alliance is pointing to a recent studythat gives credit for 3 million jobs to the natural gas industry. A quote from their press release, "The influence of the natural gas industry on the economy is spread throughout the continental United States.... In 2008, more than 30 states had at least 10,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs related to natural gas.”
I just heard that there were talks of a new gas pipeline going from Shreveport to Lake Charles. I was informed Shell was behind it. Has anyone heard of this project? Does anyone know the exact route? Where is it going in L.C.?
A site member put this together, so I thought I'd post here to discuss...
The member explains, "I took Skip's figures for 10MCF, $3.71, 25% royalty, and 1 Acre and backed (via division) each of those to 1 -- 1 MCF, $1, 1% royalty, etc. Then once that is done via that table in A1:F11 (which the user doesn't change), the final column for 1 of… Continue

Has anyone seen the Texas Supreme Court's Decision on Brown/Wagner vs. Sheppherd? If so, do you have a legal opinion on how this will affect mineral and landowner with minerals when leasing?

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

In morning trading on Aug. 17, benchmark crude for September delivery… Continue
