I heard a rumor that someone negotiated the testing with the landowners, then did not produce the funds--so, no testing has been carried out as yet. Any truth to that?
Thanks, I haven't heard from them, but know they leased 818 acres some of which adjoins my property in 19-9. They seem to be most active in TR 20 17-9 but once I saw the lease next to me, I wanted to know more about them.
It never ceases to amaze me that people still are not labeling their acreage they are talking about properly. In order for some on this site to understand you have to call out three distincly different geographic call signs; they are:
1) The section you are in
2) The Township and direction you are in; example: T 4 N (Township 4 North)
3) The Range you are in; example R 3 E (Range 3 East)
By all means cite the Parish you are in also as a quick reference
If I say I am in Sec. 3 T4 this means absolutely nothing to most everybody;
Sec. 3, T16N, R10W; Bienville Parish (Man this is impecable)
If you are talking to me this is the Webster Parish Network and the thread is T 19 Therefore 9 would likely be 9W. BUT if it needs to be spelled out 19N-9W. and in several sections they are leasing.
Some of the land has been leased I believe around horseshoe but I will have to double check my source again. He may have said that it was coming up in a sealed bid due out shortly.
We do know some land was leased across from the old Barbara's Backporch. It leased for $4000 an acre. My husband talked directly to the landowner, so I know this is correct. I believe they had either already gotten their money or would in the next week or so. They had health issues and medical bills and I think this was an acceptable offer to them in their time of need.
