what do you think about the area south of shongaloo about midway from minden, i guess about 5-6 miles south of cottan valley field ?
Mr. Sanders....in your expert opinion do you think the shale is present in extreme North Bossier 3 to 4 miles from the ARk. line? Would any past siesmic data show this or only well logs? Or is it gonna take drilling to know for sure? I know we have good CV and even Smackover zones around here! I would appreciate your reply...Thanks
Excited Bossier, don't know if I responded to your inquiry or not, if so this is redundant but perhaps bears repeating. I would not say this is an expert opinion, but I do have good basis for my opinions.

Seismic data, old or new, provides information regarding geologic structure. Therefore it only serves to identify favorable areas to drill based on geologic structure. There must be some structural traps to contain or trap the oil. To determine if oil or gas is present drilling ands testing is required.

If land is HBP why should O&G companies be in hurry to drill it? They can be exploring and developing new areas to protect those leases first before primary lease terms expire. That is situation I am in. Hope this helps a bit.
Yes, lots of activity in Cotton Valley field. XTO is biggest player. But, all wells I know about are Gray Sand or Smackover wells. May be some HAYNESVILLE SAND wells.
I am a landowner, T21 and T20, who has been approached by BroadOak Energy out of Dallas. I was first approached on 10/06 and told of the interest in CV gas play of a depth of 9500. The terms were laughable and they only wanted to lease 40 acres. They reappeared at my doorstep this past March. They told me they now would lease 80 acres. The royalty was up to 25% and they once again refused the opportunity to lease the entire tract. They told me 80 acres were "in a CV field." They told me a well would be drilled "in a few weeks" about one mile west of the southern 80 acres of my tract. My tract is off the Lewisville Rd just south of Leton. I have yet to hear back from them. Anyone know of this activity? They refused to lease my whole tract which I insist on. I have poured money in timber these past few years and will settle for nothing but a full lease.

Yes, I am C2 big time and I would say we are compadres. Maybe we can hook up. I do not live up there but I have often thought of it.
Saw a pick up truck with, if I remember correctly, badgger drilling with Ok. lic. plates, stop in front of me and take a photo of the land west of Louisville at black bayou just nort of Pistol Thomas. This was in the early sping and thought it courious. This was before all the Haynesville hype. They wasted no time in pulling out in front of me and would not let me pass. Passed them in Minden and got the emblem on the side. Looks like it was something after all.
You are the second person to tell me this. This is my tract and I was approached again for a supposed lease on acerage on the west side southern end away from this area. It was touted as Cotton Valley/Smackover. This contact with the landman was in March. BroadOak out of Dallas. Thanks for the info. I am telling you, we just need to wait.
Sunny, I have property very close to you, south of Leton in T21. I leased to BroadOak last year (pre-Haynesville activity). I spoke with a geologist at their office in Dallas this summer. He said, on the one hand, that they don't think there is Haynesville potential this far north. But, he also said that they are trying to work a joint venture with one of the big boys to drill in the area. Time will tell.

DCP Midstream Partners and M2 Midstream Announce Joint Development Agreement For Haynesville Shale Intrastate Pipeline
Tuesday August 5, 5:01 pm ET

DENVER and HOUSTON, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DCP Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: DPM - News), or DCP, and M2 Midstream LLC, or Momentum, today announced they have signed an agreement to pursue development of a new large diameter natural gas pipeline to move gas from the emerging Haynesville Shale play in North Louisiana. As an extension of DCP's Pelico Intrastate Pipeline, the new pipeline, named the Haynesville Connector, would originate in western DeSoto Parish and extend over 150 miles to Delhi, La., providing access to takeaway pipelines in the Delhi area such as the Southeast Supply Header (SESH), Columbia Gulf Transmission, ANR Pipeline, Trunkline Gas Company, Texas Gas Transmission, Tennessee Gas, Centerpoint Energy and Gulf South Pipeline. If built, the Haynesville Connector is expected to commence initial deliveries in the third quarter of 2009 and would offer an estimated 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of takeaway capacity by early 2010 to help meet producers' anticipated needs for pipeline infrastructure in the Haynesville Shale.

"Producers in the Haynesville-Lower Bossier shale area in East Texas and North Louisiana are enthusiastic about results from initial wells which are meeting or exceeding their expectations, and these results are bolstering forecasts for natural gas production in the area," said Mark Borer, president and CEO of DCP. "DCP and Momentum are well positioned to provide critical pipeline infrastructure to serve the near term needs of Haynesville Shale producers by leveraging Pelico's existing infrastructure, located within the core geography of the shale. Importantly, this will ensure early capacity availability to help keep pace with anticipated drilling and allow additional flexibility in the markets available to producers. We are pleased to partner with Momentum who has proven success in building modern infrastructure to support the rapid development of natural gas production in some of North America's fastest growing plays, most recently in the Barnett Shale play of the Fort Worth Basin and in the Piceance Basin."

Currently, DCP's Pelico Intrastate Pipeline serves numerous intrastate and interstate markets, including the Perryville Hub, and is strategically located to facilitate the transportation of Haynesville Shale gas to those markets and to growing markets in the eastern and northeastern areas of the United States. The Pelico assets along with additional gathering assets owned by DCP and Momentum can help provide an interim solution to producers' natural gas delivery needs in advance of the Haynesville Connector construction timeline.

"Momentum and DCP have been working on the Haynesville Connector for several months in order to provide Haynesville Shale producers with access to a long-term takeaway solution on an accelerated timeline," said Frank Tsuru, President and CEO of Momentum. "Our complementary skill sets will ensure a well designed pipeline is built on schedule with a focus on customer service. We look forward to working with DCP on this significant opportunity to be part of this emerging natural gas play."

The DCP and Momentum joint venture remains subject to the execution of definitive agreements.
