Not too many places to put wells in a highly populated area.... although I do have a friend who lives not far from "Out Back" who has a well almost in his backyard!
GD,
Even I don't read anything tricky or malicious in this. Let's just take it for what it is -- an estimate of the amount of money pumped into northern Louisiana I don't view it as spin or PR or anything else. I actually found it interesting, even if I cannot explain it. And it gave all of us, who obviously have way too much time on our hands, something to ponder over today.

You've hit the nail on the head, "way too much time on our hands."
About all I can read into such data is that CHK has sent $23,335,257 to residents of zip code 71106. I would guess that 71106 has more fat cats (CHK royalty owners) than the other zip codes listed. I have not researched it, but I don't think CHK has enough producing wells in that one zip code to pay that kind of royalty.

I believe that zip code 71106 would be Cedar Grove field, partly in (T16N-R13W & T16N-R14W).
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
