What's Going on Inside the Lignite Mine Area?

Does anyone have any insights about plans to drill within the perimeter of the Dolet Hills Lignite Mine?  So far, I think (?) that only the sections on its perimeter have been getting drilling permits.  I am wondering if anyone knows when (if?) gas drilling might occur inside the permit area of the lignite mine.  Or will drilling wait until the mining is complete?  If so, when might that be?  Does anyone know?

Not sure if this helps Henry but activity very near the mine is certainly ramped up lately. Our land in S2 & S11 (double churches) of T11N R12W is currently drilling with Chesapeake. That property in Section 2 is an 1/8 of a mile from the mine and looks to be next to be drilled from the same pad site where S 11 is underway. Many other pad sites ready as well.

It was great to be in Pelican this last week. Had a nice visit with the ladies at the library. I have a call into DHMV

The History of GoHaynesvilleShale.com

GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention.
