Ronnie,
The location has been built, and it has been permitted twice already. I think they can repermit as many times as they like. I think the problem is that there is some property in the unit that is not leased. Keep your fingers crossed.

Missy, I wonder how much acreage is unleased as most operators will "carry" a certain amount of unleased acreage in a unit.

Les,
I don't know exactly how much but I think it is over 200 acres.

To Whom it may concern, (skip, les, etc)
I didn't know where I could ask you this question. I got a preapplication notice today from Petrohawk for T15 S4 R10w in bienville parish. I see where a well was drilled in 2006 by petrochem serial number 233259 McCoy well. My dad owns a 1/8 interest in 3.17 acres in this section and was contacted by petrochem on April 27, 2006 to lease at 150 an acre and 3/16 th royalty. He never signed the lease and I still have a copy of it. One of the landowners that owned 1/4 interest signed a lease with them and I'm not sure if she may have managed to sign a lease on my dad's 1/8 interest and other family members. I have read how to notify the company's on the haynesville shale about being an unleased mineral owner. I was just wondering if I needed to let petrochem know on this well. I know if it is nonunitized it doesn't affect me because the well is not on this property. I know I will have to watch and see if petrohawk drills a well in this section so i can notify them by certified letter. I may need to get a lawyer and see what has been signed and filed back in 2006. If you know of a good lawyer in Bienville Parish, please let me know. Thanks for everyones help on this site and I enjoy reading daily and I am much more informed. Is there any way of telling if this well was unitized or not?

Horseman, the McCoy well appears to be producing from a Cotton Valley Unit (CV RA SUK) that includes all of Section 4. I have attached a copy of the unit order for your information.

Les,
Thanks so much. Now that I know my dad owns a small amount of acreage in that section, I will see what I can do to find out if I need to send petrochem a certified letter as an umi. I guess petrohawk may have leased the deeper haynesville resevior and I will watch that section and keep reading on this site to see if they drill a well in this section.
Thanks again for all you do!!!

Missy, that may be too much for the operator to carry since it would be ~ 33%.
