Hi, Tigger. Yeah, I have had another report today concerning Twin Cities activity in the Blanchard area. Seems you and some of your fellow landowners are Hold Outs!! And you are keeping your sections from being developed. The preceding comments were contained in letters received yesterday and today. There was no bonus offer or royalty percentage contained in the letters. To find that out I guess you have to be willing to go face-to-face with a TC Landman. Or in your case, be willing to speak with them on the phone. It will be interesting to see how this round plays out. Keep us posted. Regards, Skip

He called 2 more times till he reached me. $1500 an acre & 25% interest good for 10 days then it goes down to $1000 an acre. They are trying to keep Samson from force pooling us...!

Skip:

Just a guess, but they HBP mucho acreage and they might be unitizing all of their HBP'ed acreage in the HA, which would be like them, as it would be a cost savings move to do it all at once??

Also, assuming this is HBP acreage they are unitizing in the HA it is unlikely that they will be drilling anything at current prices.

Jay" It's a fair and reasonable guess. Jim Krow mentioned they had significant legacy leasehold in the Armistead area but it is certainly possible that they have additional HBP acreage. When I get a little time, I will compare the location of their producing wells to sections where they have applied for HA units.

Jay. I finished comparing Samson Contour's producing wells against the sections on which they hold or have applied for unit orders. The only legacy leasehold that appears in their HA Unit apps are in the Sligo Field. That would be 15 out of 73 sections. Any idea where the other 58 sections worth might come from?

Unless you are referring to Haynesville Shale wells, there are hundreds of "active" wells in Webster Parish.  If you are referring to Haynesville Shale wells, there are a handful.  I would suggest you take a look at the tutorials for searching the state oil & gas database in the SONRIS Help Center group.

Skip,
We are in Sec. 14 17N 11W, so I have been anxiously checking Sonris for data on the well they are drilling in Sec. 12. What does "retainer failed" indicate? Also very curious about the well they were drilling in Sec. 4 17n 11w. It seems to have been permitted in Oct, but nothing on Sonris since Nov. 17. Is anyone aware of any additional information there?

JM. In 17N-11W, Sections 1-4,10-14,22,23 are Samson units. J-W Operting has Section 30. I have no information on the wells other than what appears on SONRIS. Have you checked the Bossier Group page? I suggest you post your question there also. Regards, Skip

Tigger Cdo 3. Samson Contour does not want to force pool you!!! And Chesapeake knows it. Chesapeake also knows that the term "force pool" intimidates landowners. And Twin Cities tries to use that to their advantage. Samson Contour has the unit order for Sect. 4-18N-14W. They have 75+% of the section under lease . That's a requirement by the LOC. Before Samson will develop your section or designate an operator, they will make an offer to every single unleased landowner in the section that they can find. And that offer may very well be better than the $1500/acre and 25% that Twin Cities is offering. Why is Twin Cities putting on the press in the Blanchard area? Especially in your section where Samson Contour is already in the driver's seat? Chesapeake does this all over the play. They have done it frequently with Petrohawk units. They do it so that they can be a working interest in the unit wells. And they want to be a working interest , IMO, so that they have access to the proprietary information generated from the drilling of the wells in the unit. It's a way to build a better understanding of the petrophysical characteristics of the HS in a particular area. It's legal. And actually, a good business practice. Although I doubt Petrohawk, Samson Contour, and others like it. My objection is to how CHK/Twin Cities is going about it in this case. By misleading landowners and using scare tactics. Those landowners who are informed are immune to such tactics.

Thanks once again Skip...I wasn't about to sign on dotted line anyway. Your info on this site has been invaluable as well as K B's.
