The rumor mill has it that Chesapeake has just completed a big oil producer from the lower Haynesville or the Smackover....this discovery is said to be somewhere in DeSoto parish....
Yep, and it seems the honest landowners/farmers had no clue as to how many lies the greedy manipulators would tell to make money flipping minerals</<br />
some things never change...

GD, thanks for the color. It sits on my bookcase right next to "The Prize". It has been a few years since I read so maybe I need to have another read of it soon.
If I recall Hunt Oil did the original development of the Black Lake Field. I used to go water skiing there during the time the 1st wells were being drilled.
Highwayman, as I recall that was the situation. And I believe we used to call that specific area Clear Lake. Those were some great times - spending all day hanging out at the lake with friends and family.
