Looks to be mainly near Evelyn. Coincidentally, or not, the lease descriptions filed are in undrilled HA units.
Have you any idea why these leases were taken at this time (with the cost of gas below $4.00) and in this general area of little or no previous activity? I do not suppose this to be the "core of the core" of the Haynesville. Chesapeake is busy with permits for Cross Unit Laterals just across the Bayou in DeSoto Parish. Has Long ever drilled a Haynesville well? What do you suppose Long is looking for here?
Are we sure the company name is, Long Petroleum? The Department of Natural Resources/Office of Conservation does not recognize Long Petroleum as a registered operator. Nor does the Secretary of State have a Long Petroleum listed as a corporation registered with the state.
I count 45 leases recorded by Long Petroleum, LLC in the Red River Parish Legal News.
Go by the court house and read one or two. That may tell you something about the intentions of Long or whomever he represents.
Kevin Long and Long Petroleum, LLC have been active leasing in the Cotton Valley for many years. They have participated as non-operators in many wells, but sold most of their Haynesville rights in DeSoto Parish to either EXCO in 2008 or to CEU Kingston, LLC in 2011
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 |
