Welcome to GHS! The site has grown a little to nearly 17,000 members, but the same mission of educating and networking mineral owners and professionals continues today. Our areas of discussion have also expanded to include the Haynesville, Tuscaloosa, Brown Dense and Austin Chalk plays. In addition we also have many helpful regional / county / parish / themed groups.

So, the lay of the site is like this.

- Our General Forum (displayed on our homepage). This is the place you post if you have a general question or if you are not sure where to post.

- Additional Groups. Search these for the location or play that is the most specific to your question. For example, if have information, or a question, pertinent to Desoto Parish, then join and post in the Desoto Parish group.

- Blogs. Blogs are where you can post opinions or posts with further insights on a topic. Please do not post questions in the blog section.
