ShreveCentre Coalition
Regular Meeting
December 2, 2008
A regular meeting of the ShreveCentre Coalition Board of Directors was held December 2, 2008 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Parish Hall. President Jack McLeod called the meeting to order at 6:30. Jack introduced guests, Hershel Downs, Diana and Ron Canady, and Joey Greenwald. There was a majority of members in attendance to conduct business. The November 6, 2008 minutes were approved as distributed to the board of directors.
Directors returned the large maps. It was suggested they start a new spreadsheet of new NBLOI they may receive so Gif Gillen can be contacted at a later date to shade any lots that need to be updated. Jack asked for any neighborhood association representative that has not had an opportunity to shade the neighborhood they represent. Gerry Morton took map 2 and Mary Richter took map 3.
Gif Gillen reported that he needs to transfer the information on our maps to maps he can present to major oil companies. He is working with the MPC who is helping as a community project. It will be very advantageous to present the maps showing the total acreage represented and the locations including section, township, and range.
Hershel Downs will let the negotiation committee use one of his lease requirement agreements as a guide to develop the lease for SCC.
Gif again mentioned that drilling is taking place north of Hwy 1 and Ellerbe Road. It will help us when they start laying pipes to get gas to the refineries because the companies will need more land.
Jack got permission to give Tom Mattox of the Downtown Development Authority who is now working for the city on leases Gif’s email address.
Jack McLeod and Larry Farley attended the Haynesville Shale Expedition to see if they could gather any new information.
The question was asked again about those people who have already signed a lease. It was noted that they would have to deal with the oil company they signed with.
We were reminded to tell our members to beware of letters like the American Royalties, LP letter sent to the Apple Tree neighborhood. They want to buy an interest in your mineral rights. This opportunity is not in your best interest. Jack will scan this letter and send it to the board. At the request of the board, this information will also be placed on our website.
Larry Farley asked if the board of directors is interested in hearing from the representative of a Texas oil company who would like to make a presentation to us regarding mineral leasing. This company will have the capability of buying several sections of land and putting pipelines to the refinery. It was agreed to ask this person to come to our January meeting.
There was no unfinished or new business to be presented at this time.
Letters of Intent delivered to incorrect neighborhoods were distributed to the correct one.
The next SCC meeting will be Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 6:30.
Being no further business to conduct at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 7:25

Regardless of economic circumstances and the price of natural gas at the time, this is the LAST UNLEASED, CONTIGUOUS BLOCK OF HS MINERALS REMAINING IN THE CORE AREA OF THE PLAY.
Easy there fella' ! There's a few more Pirates out here with a whole bunch of booty too. Unless of course you would like to share thattreasure, core map of yours with us all. (chuckle,chuckle)

Snake. I stand by the statement. And can defend it with facts.

KB. I have my own HS treasure map although it contains no "X". And unfortunately, no HS in AR. The research is not complete but I hope to have it finished for a blog post in the new year. To be specific I am referring to the "core" area of the HS. The periphery of the play will change in the very near future. But not substantially in much of NW. LA. E. TX. is a tougher research project as they have no SONRIS and the major players there are more sparing in their public announcements.

KB. I have seen maps depicting the areas that you mention. However what is becoming more clear as development proceeds is that only a portion of that area is "the shale". The rest is "the sand". Where there are wells to sufficient depths, the transition areas have been relative well defined. Some areas of the HA Sand have been produced for many years, so there is hard data to review. Where there are no deep wells, I look at leasing activity to see which operators are active there. A less definitive means but one which provides some measure of intent by those operators who are shale players. The hole in the middle of the core area as currently defined by drilling units constitutes seven townships. Five of those townships are the densely populated areas of urban and suburban Shreveport and Bossier City including Barksdale AFB. The difficult to define current edges of the published boundaries have quite large HBP areas with the Caddo Pine Island Field being a prime example. The ETOCO wells in far north Caddo Parish will go a long way toward determining that edge. The research is one thing. Attempting to make a map that is easily understandable and reasonably accurate is also a challenge.

I have been told that as you go east and get away from the uplift, the shale gets deeper very fast, much like falling off a cliff. As you go north it seems to get shallower, and wells have been drilled sufficiently deep to seem to indicate it's non-presence. As you go south, it also gets deeper, but not as rapidly and is most likely present in some or all of Natchitoches and Sabine parishes, though it probably isn't as thick as in the core. The westerly direction to me is a question mark. For example, does it exsist in all of Rusk, Gregg, Nacogdoches, Cherokee, Upshur??? Also the fact that in, in East Texas, they seem to use Bossier and Haynesville interchangeaby, adds to the confusion IMHO. I guess time and the drill bit will tell the tale, though I think we'll know the extremities of the play in a couple years, max. Development drilling, on the other hand, will continue for many years, especially @ $4 or $5 gas. By the way, am not a geologist, but have been a student of the play as have many of you.

Thanks, SB. It is obvious that you have an interest in, and a grasp of, the extent of the shale in NW. LA. I am also not a geologist but a student of the play. I will post a map as part of a blog post after the first of the year. I would welcome any input you and others would care to provide. I am hoping that the blog will generate additional information and may turn into an on-going depiction of the play as it unfolds.

Petrohawk has changed their map to closely resemble CHK's.

SB/ Can you give to a link to HK's latest map update?

It is on page 10 of their most recent presentation, which has a link on their home page. I'd do it Skip but I'm technologically constrained. By the way, if you have a notion, send me an email with your "non Haynesville Shale" email address on it. You have my email address cuz you sent me one this AM. I have something to discuss with you.
