re: Haynesville Shale North of Benton??

Come on guys.

Seriously. These are good threads here. Don't make the admins anchor it because its turning into an IM thread with personal attacks.

And for what its worth, checkmate your entire post count is in this thread and about 90% of them are baiting pitboss. We got your point. Please stop repeating yourself.

I hate being attacked by persons who work for the O/G industry for telling the truth.

I never said you weren't telling the truth numbnuts. I said

I hope you do well with the sand/shale,

The / between sand and shale means that I am not taking either side of the arguement. Where I have issues with you is

1) Posters who actually post pertinent information are being attacked repeatedly.

2) Your overuse of

3) The constant need for you to reply to yourself 3 times in a row, most of which are egging on other posters.

4) You have an aura of douchbagginess that surrounds you that just annoys the shite out of me.

You seem to insinuate that I work for O/G. Wrong. A relative owns land on the fringes of the Haynesville Shale and I was enjoying the threads until they got a bunch of newbie numbnuts who are attacking posters that have been helpful up to now.

Have you actually ever been part of a messageboard community before? You need to crank down your sensitivity meter and not take everything personally.

A big player in the Barnett, one of the largest independents from what I have heard.

I assume that you know other landowners in that area..Would you be kind enough to make them aware of this..I have a good friend who has an interest there as well...thanks for your reply and good luck in the future..

My sources tell me that more good things are going northward this week.

Has anyone else heard about any leases 20N or above? Know of any offers other than what I have posted? east or west?

Well, I am in T20N and had a verbal offer today... not quite what I wanted, but not that bad either.

I should probably add that my acreage in this area is greater than 500 acres, so those with small leases may have to wait just a bit longer. I will also throw out this information: the shale formation is largely speculative (we all know this). The well in T19 that Petrohawk considered to be a "screen out" was only drilled to 9000 feet. However, Samson's well in T19, which is said to be productive, was drilled to 10800. What I have heard (unfortunately second hand) is that Petrohawk left this well incomplete to slow northern Caddo land acquisitions. When this much money is involved, I would not be surprised. Bottom line, though, is to be patient and watch the matador leases in T20N R14W and the others in T20N R15W.

The #1 Rumbaugh was drilled by J-W Operating in 2006. It was also drilled to 10,182' (which encountered the Haynesville at a much shallower depth because it is structurally higher on the Sabine uplift than South Caddo, South Bossier, etc). Also the Rumbaugh well is located in T20N, not 19N as you stated. Check your facts on things like that. Good luck to anybody waiting for lease offers up around 20N or further. If you find a company willing to spend money this far north than it probably would be wise to strongly consider the offer. I don't see who in their right mind would lease land for $10,000 an acre on the 21N/22N border, but people do crazy things all the time. Clayton Williams had an acreage block they were trying to sell about two months ago in 21N/22N after they drilled a dry hole (Wynn well S35-T22N-R15W) for something like $500 per acre, so my opinion is that would help disprove that area further. I remember a couple of years ago when some company bought 200,000 acres in a shale play and missed the shale completely, so things like that do happen. There will probably be some kind of definitive productivity limit established in Middle to North Caddo at some point which will be key to future Haynesville drilling. Matador, Samson, and Goodrich are all good wells to watch.
