Blazin go take a pill, get laid, or both. You said it yourself, you are no land man. Not talking about production specifics, talking about the fact that if you own the land and they do more than just put a well on it then the prices go up, considerably in most cases. You think a person who has a few wells on his land gets the same as the one who has wells and a compressor station? How about those service roads they build?

Where do you frickers come from? Seriously, are all you folk down there that ignorant? I hope like hell you aren't. S'port is solidly LSU country. Not sure if there is anymore but there was a chartered bus trip every home game. Used to go with the wife back in the late 80's and think it was organized by Hunter Huff.
I guess ignorant folk here bullshite and assume its reality.

Look here's the truth from a lifelong resident of NWLA. There are a great number of Tiger fans up here. However there are a great many more than there were before 2003. I have a great many facebook friends that I went to high school with in the 90s who made fun of me for rooting for LSU. Now all of their posts are geaux tigers and how big of fans they are.
There are bandwgon fans everywhere for any team that finds success. Look at the saints for gods sake.
What some of you are saying is true to a certain extent. But it is true everywhere.
And yes to me being an LSU fan was a helluva lot funner pre 2003 simply because of all the new rantards and bandwagonners.

As for the comment about seeing more saints stuff in shreveport than cowboys stuff, you must have never visited the city pre-2009 or maybe even pre-2006.

It has been there for at least 4 years...you will notice the big purple wall which hides the well pad location...it started out small and has grown...lots of money in the Haynesville Shale$$$$$
Posted on 10/22/11 at 7:26 am to Clames
More like 3-5k an acre...lots of royalties though!

$50,000 an acre
Nobody got $50,000. I think one or two got $30,000 at the very peak. Those were few and far between. Keep in mind, though, that you could have bought some of this land for a couple of thousand an acre (at most) before the Haynesville leasing.
If you were drilled early and hit the prices at better than they are now, you might have also gotten a big slug of royalty. Keep in mind that the "leasing" dollars we are talking about are bonus money, paid just to get the lease. The landowner then gets royalty on the production from the unit. But no matter how you slice it, big landowners in the right place made tons of money, and some still are getting some pretty solid royalty checks.

People also made money selling water, which you need for fracing, selling rights of ways for pipelines, and for surface damages at drilling locations. Others probably made money supplying services, such as trucking.

I would take that with a grain of salt. Or maybe a grain of shale. People talk all sorts of crap, and it is in the landowners' interest to bid the prices up. If anybody ever got it, ain't nobody getting it now.

That is true, but . . . I don't think those dollars are that big in the grand scheme of things. Every mineral owner in the unit shares in production proportionate to acreage, whether or not there is a well on the surface of that owner's land. You can also make some dollars letting the operator use your surface for production operations (such as compressors, tankage, flowlines, separators, etc.), although I think (notice I said I think) that is usually covered in the mineral lease.

No. You did pretty damn well. Remember that before the boom, $250 to $500 an acre was good money.

Surface damages are generally either negotiated in a separate deal, although some people will include it in the lease. They are normally between $3,000-$5,000/acre, a 1 time payment like the bonus. I don't think this price ever changed like the bonus did. I've been a landman in this area for 6 years, so I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. It's not very likely at all that, even adding all the different payments up, that he got $50,000/acre. He probably made/is making MILLIONS in royalty payments, making his bonus payment a drop in the bucket, more than likely.

A friend of mine works for a landman co so I'll get her to look it up so we can end all of the back and forth arguing.

" Biggest game for Tech the last quarter century was a loss to LSU"I thought it would be the 2 wins over bama. And yes, LSU and the Saints , dominate the fan base there. Even Tech fans pull for the Tigers. I can remember watching LSU play Rice in Shreveport(1976). Years ago the Tigers played the hogs in s'port for several years
