I signed in Nacogdoches co in 2007 for $200.00/acre , but I believe that was the going rate at the time. Can't say for sure its in the HS either.

It will probably run Nov. 16 or 17 in a special shale section we are working on.

As long as you are giving the timeline, make sure that you include that the Haynesville Zone was legally defined by Chesapeake by La Dept of Conservation Order 994-D on July, 10, 2007.

FYI: The HS was originally defined in Jan '07. The original drill permit was dated on Aug '06, for the smackover formation, but was amended in Jan '07 to define the HS. The order you are referring to, was the first "reference" to the HS.

Thank you Bob,

With so much mis-information its hard to believe anyone knows the truth anymore.

an exerpt from chesapeakes Aug. 2 2007 news release...

-- Ark-La-Tex Tight Gas Sands (primarily Travis Peak, Cotton
Valley, Pettit and Bossier formations): In this large region
covering most of East Texas and northern Louisiana, Chesapeake
has assembled a strong portfolio of unconventional gas
resource plays. Chesapeake is one of the ten largest producers
of natural gas, the third most active driller and one of the
largest leasehold owners in the area. Chesapeake is producing
approximately 135 mmcfe net per day in the Ark-La-Tex area.
The company is currently using 11 operated rigs to further
develop its 200,000 net acres of leasehold. Chesapeake's
unconventional proved developed reserves in the Ark-La-Tex
region are an estimated 393 bcfe, its proved undeveloped
reserves are an estimated 282 bcfe and its estimated
unconventional risked unproved reserves are approximately 260
bcfe after applying a 70% risk factor and assuming an
additional 750 net wells are drilled in the years ahead. The
company's targeted results for medium-depth vertical
Ark-La-Tex wells are $1.7 million to develop 1.0 bcfe on
approximately 60 acre spacing.

An interesting slant may be information about local large cemeteries leasing their mineral rights. I'm sure it must be legal, but seems a bit strange.

Thanks for that info! I knew that cemetery plot owners do not own the property, only the interment rights.

I've heard of cemeteries being moved to make way for road, I wonder if a mining co. has ever moved one. It would be relativly easy to directionaly drill even a vert. well under a cem. but a lignite mine would be another story.
