As the Bossier forum has not had any postings for a couple of years, I thought I would post this here on the general forum site. Our family has owned for many years mineral interests in Bossier Parish, Section 12, T16N, R12W. During the early years of the Haynesville Shale play, the many wells in this section (and adjoining ones) were steady royalty payers. That ended about 5 years ago and we were under the impression this field had been played out.
To our surprise, last month we received a very attractive buyout offer for our mineral interests in this section, although we have never heard of VIAJE Oil & Gas. We aren't interested in selling but the offer was surprising. I don't recall receiving any State of Louisiana Office of Conservation letters regarding impending drilling. Any familiar with this operator?

Les, your portion of the Elm Grove Field is hardly played out and mineral buyers know it. Of course they are watching very closely where new wells are coming. It makes sense that mineral buyers wish to get in on first production of new wells because those wells produce something close to 80% of their lifetime production in those first two years. There is plenty of public record evidence on new wells on the way in your township with six wells drilling now and three live permits to drill. If you want to know what buyers know, use SONRIS. Lots of wells there but look for Status Codes 01 and 31. Viaje O&G is not an operator, they are a mineral company. Seller Beware!

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 |
