Do you think 22N 14W is prospective for the dense?

Electro - what is the thickness and depth of the brown dense in Union County, Arkansas? I assume the formation is very tight and low porosity and would require horizontal drilling and a frac job. I believe the Smackover typically is oil with associated sour gas. I would assume the gas from the brown dense would also be sour. It has been my experience that this type of production will create a sour gas smell in the area where the wells are drill. Do you agree with my opinions above are do you see it a different way.

I was told by a man from Shreveport last week with 40 plus years in the oil business that the 2 test wells drilled in the Brown Dense were in a sense successful in that there is an enormous amount of oil there but the problem being the sour gas coming out also. They are working on a way to capture that gas and then move forward with drilling. He expects a huge boom in leasing all along the state line and down into north louisiana when the problem with the gas is figured out. I hope he is right - I have property in Lafayette County on the state line.

Have you been approached for a lease in Union County or Union Parish?

Yes it would be, but it is not a shale. It is an argillaceous dirty, sandy limestone. Porosity is between 0 to 3% and no to very little perm. Most of the shows I have seen in the brown DENSE are from fractures and oily.

Terry,
Why would a company lease thousands of acres for exploration if the prospect is as dismal
as you seem to think?

I don't think he is saying it's dismal, it's just completely unlike a shale gas play, I hope it turns out great.

Checkmateking,
In what way is it different? Does it produce on a much smaller scale or is it less
valuable as a prospect? Should the lease bonus and royalty be substantially less?

Is your property in Columbia County? Pine Belt was leasing in that area/

I am a mineral owner in Union County and Union Parish and have been approached
for leases.

Its not a gas play. It is oil. There is sour gas associated whith it though.

I wouldn't say it's very compareable.
