I disagree with Checkmateking............It definitely is Tuscaloosa Marine Shale according to Mary L. Barrett, Ph.D., Professor Emeriti of Geology, Centenary College of Louisiana who presented at the Ark-La-Tex Association of Professional Landmen on Feb. 12, 2011. "The mapped TMS trend runs east-west across central Louisiana and into Miississippi. The TMS is fractured and over-pressured, and commonly live oil is present in its fractures. Its abrupt resistivity increases in the section of interest (which) is believed due to active petroleum generation, a characteristic common to other source rocks. A few old vertical wells are documented as producing from this shale. Distribution of petroleum fields in this region suggest the peak oil to wet gas window may occur at depths of 12,000-14,000 feet.

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 |
