Skip & Two Dogs, Pirate: "Fault" issues continue to perplex me. They supposedly lost a well in a unit I have acreage in due to a "fault" problem. For years I was told there was a "major fault" running through the area. However, when I view the Petrohawk map referenced above, I find no indication of a fault anywhere around S28-T9N-R11W, Sabine Parish. There is the one starting in 3-10-11, and your comments seem to indicate it might create problems in a couple of sections well to the north and west of me. I was recently presented a map, created by a major lease holding/drilling company in the HS, which indicated a "major fault" running southeast to northwest (S20-T8N-R11W thru sections 16, 7, 6 and on into S36-T9N-R12W and sections 25, 23, 14 and 9) The map I reviewed did not indicate the beginning point, or the termination point; merely these included sections. Yet, the Petrohawk map shows no indication of this "fault line." Is there a single source that will indicate all of the purported "fault lines" in north Sabine Parish? Any explanation why one major company would indicate a particular "fault," while no indication of what is classified as a "major fault line" on another company's map? Thanks for sharing your expertise.
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 |
