"I see what I desire; I see the Shale! But how do I get it?!"

I see what discussion I desire; I read it! But...now where is it? LOL! How do I get it?!

Hey Dion,

Glad to see you back.

Hey Dion - Not hearing from you much lately. Here's 5 points & a vote for "Featured Shaler." LOL
Best - sesport ::0)

Just dropping by to say hello. Have one "shale" of a day. Also, there some new profile questions. Check those out by clicking HERE. We are also coming up on our 10,000th member. Be sure to celebrate with me. Click HERE for more about that.

I enjoyed your post on NAPE. I saw you mentioned the Marcellus Play being an exception to traditional ventures, can you elaborate a little more on the Marcellus. I am very interested in this play. Thanks for the valuable info.

That was a great Blog!!! Very Interested!!! Hope no fighting will be going on!!!

Great blog - for some reason, the feaure button is not on it. This allows me to put it on the homepage. If you can, can you repost and then I'll see if the "feature" link is there?

DW,

I enjoyed reading your informative blog post.

I predict the following questions:

What do you consider the 'core area' referenced in the blog?

What will the O & G companies consider a reasonable lease bonus amount?

I understand that shut-in provisions can vary by lease, but what does the 'standard' shut-in provision allow? (What can mineral owners expect from a shut-in well?)

Thanks for the contribution. I look forward to the responses by landowners and other O&G professionals.

Dion. I approve of your blog post. And agree with the conclusions that you draw. I think those conclusions will disappoint a number of members but hopefully will spawn some substantive discussions as opposed to a rock throwing contest. Good Luck. I'll be watching. Regards, Skip

Dion, My post on Feb.5 you replied and asked for my location so you could better answer my question. I would appreciate your answer to my original question. I live in section 27, T16 No. Range 15 W. Thank you for help. Tommy Munds

Dion - good engaging with you, appreciate everything you bring and hearing from the other perspective. It can't all be one sided, can it?

I did send you an email, thanks

Hi Dion
I have a question not pertaining to HS. You seem to know a good bit about Austin Chalk, I have 160 ac in Avoyelles Parish is currently leased until Dec of this year, but have had a call about leasing it. I said I wanted to wait until lease expires before leasing again. So question is.. Is there new activity in central LA, and have you heard if the chalk can be now produced?
Thanks Wayne

Dion,

You should try to make it to the bowling event. I would like to meet you, as I imagine others would like to as well.

Hey Dion,
Since technically you are a Shale Pro, you cant actually qualify for the term S.P.A.K. You could be the recipient but not the giver.I am going to have to re-visit the terminology chalk board to see if an adjusted definition would be in order. I feel certain that you are in the clear either way. :-)

Well thank you Dion,
I hope the next time I go to BR. I get a chance to meet you.

DW. You are on a shale-roll. And having far too much fun with this. Made me LOL. Thanks, Skip

Hi Dion,

Glad you finally claimed me as your friend. Trying to keep JG in line, but it is tuff, and it's all your fault (HA!).
