We’re located in Sec. 12 T11N R12W Desoto Parish. Our 3-year lease is expiring in September with the 2-year option. The company that we are leased with has not drilled, but another company had a hearing for a permit in March 2010, and they haven't drilled either . Encana is drilling a well in the lower southwest corner, but bores into section 13, and we were told they will receive the royalties. Does this mean that we are force pooled or unitized? What affect will this have on the lease renewal? Also, this section falls in the lignite mine area. Could this be the reason no one has drilled yet? If the company renews our lease for another 2 years, will it be at the same amount of money that was paid for the 3-year lease? Can this company allow the lease to expire after 3 years and come back later and lease again for a different amount?

We didn't receive anything on section 12. Just ran across in on sonris. Swepi is drilling. Last well information reported 3/11/11 WAITING ON ANOTHER RIG TO DRILL HORIZONTAL.
I tried to look up your well this morning but Sonris was acting up. When it decides to cooperate, look at the data files and try to pull up the daily files. If any type of operations have begun on the tract - and Ches. can show that these operations continued without any significant interruption then your lease will likely be held by production - assuming they drill and complete a viable well.
If all that doesn't happen during the primary term of the lease, then it sounds like you sit in a nice position. Read the terms of the option - if it states something like - lessee herein is granted the option to extend the primary term of this lease for an additional two year period upon the same terms as found in the original lease - then the lessee will likely have to pay you a bonus equal to the original price per acreage for the original lease. However, more likely, they will approach you with a much lower proposal since the lease boom is over.
Hope that helps - happy to answer any other questions but I think all of yours have been addressed.
Thanks, I don't see it on Sonris yet. Where do I go to look at the data files and daily files?
Nancy,
Today's Shreveport Times lists a permit for your well.Henry, I found the following information:
Chesapeake Operating Inc, ha ra su53; Nabors 12-11-12h, 001, Sec. 12, T11N, R12W, Red River Bull Bayou, 17500' MD 12500' TVD, Haynesville RA
Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks
Nancy,
I'll try. This says that Chesapeake will be drilling the well for this section. Chesapeake always puts the name of the section that is being drained in the name of the well. It is called "Nabors 12-11-12h, 001" because the actual surface location will be on the Nabors' family property -- there is a small tract belonging to them on the southern edge of the section. It will drain 12-11-12, and the 001h means it is the first horizontal well in the Haynesville formation. The field you are in is called "Red River Bull Bayou." This is a very large field, and has been a very good one for the Haynesville Shale.
Your section was originally unitized by Petrohawk. I have no idea why CHK is drilling. But these things happen. The permit is probably good for one year. But I would expect drilling to begin much sooner - probably before your lease expires.
You are in a good area -- CHK and SWEPI have produced several wells with Initial Production Rates over 15 mmcf/day within 5 miles of you. Good luck.
Talked to someone with Chesapeake today. Drilling is scheduled for May 19th.
Your question is far too broad as there is a good bit of variance in all fields. A comparison by section-township-range is more likely to give you a number with some value however there aren't that many completed wells in the field so use the S/N at the beginning of each well listing and look up the completion data on SONRIS Lite.

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 |
