I'm still holding out hope that something might happen in Union County. I bought 80 acres there and 40 in Union Parish two years ago speculating on the brown dense. The land in union parish is in sec 1 21n 2w and the primary lease runs out mar 9. As of this time SWN has not exercised its option for an additional 4 years, unless they mistakenly sent the check to the guy who owned it at the time of the lease. I may just own timberland, ha.

Hope so Skip. At least I received a little pipeline right of way money from it!

For the first time in more than two years my SWN stock is worth more than I paid for it. I won't get rich on this, but it's better than losing money. Don't know if the recent run-up has anything to do with the Union Parish activity or not.

Congratulations. I share your joy.

day to day. Hope we all come out for the better!

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether you can hold a lease by shut in payments for a well that apparently is being used as a science project without making a good faith effort to hook it up?
Permalink Reply by Doug Boone on March 28, 2014 at 4:13 It allows shut in payments to hold a lease wherein there is a lack of market.
Permalink Reply by landman on March 28, 2014 at 4:14 I think to make any sort of call on this, one would have to see the entire document. What is the lessor's objection to being paid shut ins?
Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on March 28, 2014 at 4:17 Shut in payments hold the lease in force as long as allowed by the specific language in the lease regardless of whether it's a science project or not. The fact that SWN is willing to make shut in payments should be encouraging since the alternative is to plug & abandon the well.

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…

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 |
