Thanks for keeping us updated. Great info
SKIP, how does one know what property is in the each unit?
The application for a compulsory drilling unit must include a plat that shows the boundary of the unit and each interior ownership tract. The larger tracts often will include the owners name. The field orders are contained in the Document Access portion of the SONRIS database.
When a company applies to form a drilling unit they are required to send notice letters to all surface and mineral owners of record within the unit boundary and immediately adjacent to a distance of 1000'. The notice letter includes the complete application including the plat.
Doug, you will have to be specific concerning what unit you would like me to post.
Do you need a specific address or just a general area?
If you want a plat, it has to be a specific unit. Addresses and general areas are insufficient. Section-township-range may help but only if there is an existing well. Field orders are organized by field in the database. If you know or can find the field, I can teach you how to search but that can be a time consuming process. If I know specifics I can pull up a field order in about 60 seconds. Without specifics, it could take an hour depending on the size of the field.
Skip, the plat on the BlackBrush well...or unit...
Skip, sorry, what specifics do you need? I can give you that part, hopefully, Thanks..
I think Doug is referring to BBJB Properties LLC #250723, 1N,2E,section 23, and there is an existing well there- the Belco Giant,#220356 that was drilled in 1997, that was plugged and abandoned. hope that is enough info for you, Skip
Field 2592, Cheneyville, Dist Code 2, Area Code 1
The Belco Giant well is not unitized, so their is no unit plat. It was a lease well. Here is the well plat from the historic well file.
The BBJB well plat has not been entered in the database yet, too new.
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 |
