I don't see any content in anything he posts.(Not that I've ever had much content either)but I don't go so far out of my way.
He enjoys this mental masturbation exercise that he presents to us,there again.. no content.Not being mean here just sayin.....Of course,nothing personal EG but it occurs to me as if you just don't get enough attention elsewhere.You should be busy enough to not have time to trifle with any of this .....so why bother?

Why would you bother? Surely a man of your education and employ would have better use of his daily minutes.
Seems to me he's just enjoying a good scotch and a cigar while he plucks a keyboard and lives his quiet life of desperation.

Prove me wrong and write something cohesive, centralized,informative and cut to the freakin chase.

You remind me of a frustrated writer that wonders why he never gets published, all the while it's more than obvious to everyone else.

Your prose is exhausting

150.00 here also, 3yr,3/16ths. TD- we'll know what it's worth when the completion rig gets off the Weyerhouser well-It's got a full 4200 ft lateral, the longest yet.
Yeah but the flopster seems to softening up a bit.. tiger dog is formidable/respectable,and he wants ol flop to cut a good deal... you can see that.

Hell we all want it for the area, for everybody.

I wanna be at the roulette table when the flopster struts up and pegs the house.

Of all the yak I hear goin on at the HS website and the tdroppings- TD83 is as close as your gonna get to the unbiased truth....Does anyone else see that?....Flop?

Just for gingles/giggles

I've been in lease negotiations on and off since my ol' man died in 81. Gas And Oil, many different companies. I've never been without mailbox money it seems. Sometimes more sometimes less.Never enough to quit my day jobs.Invariably, I always hired a top lawyer for my sister and I, we never could afford it but it was always the best money we ever spent.This site is a good resource but when the time comes and the you are ready to sign...bite the bullet and spend your money on a top lawyer.Just my2c.

A play in shale is considered unconventional.As far as what unconventional drilling means,It may be more a question of what constitutes "conventional" drilling and that may be ultimately (and at some point in time I am sure it will be or has been)up to a judge.If you are in lease negotiations get an O/G lawyer,CYA, it's nothing to triffle with.

The fact that the well bore is directly embedded in the shale (source rock) and not a sandstone,limestone,"et al" trap makes it an unconventional play. Because of the composition of shale (porosity, vertical fracturing,permeability,etc),unconventional means have to be used to induce production(stage fraccing,horizontal drilling,etc).It's way more complicated than that(drill speed,balance),goes on and on. Tertiary recovery is unconventional production (co2, thermal,chemical injection)and that stuff is pumped to the surface.I guess anything that you did'nt see in "There will be Blood" is unconventional.I see a lot of mincing going on.

Compared to Haynesville shale everything else is gonna look low and slow especially Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.The main proponent for the TMS is a landman named Dan Collins out of Baton Rouge.

He says that a speculative play like the TMS shoud get at least the price of a barrel of oil per acre and 20% royalty ( 25% if production rates start lookin up)at this point in time.

I signed last year for that amount on a three year lease and I'd be happy if they would just start drilling.The proposal got yanked off the Mississippi docket when the first well came in at 10 milion dollars (so I hear) and some of those would be partners started backing out(which did'nt make sense but so I hear)Compared to the Haynesville play the TMS is going like turtles running uphill through peanut butter(Crunchy)with a pack on their back.

I live and die by the tiny fragments of news coming out of this play and it really sucks.Just too exhausting,gonna get on with my life and quit thinkin about it. Still I must ask, who offered you the lease if you don't mind? I signed with Encore.

These are odd dynamics for a lay person. One day your grateful to see a 45.00 check come in for three months on an old well spudded back in 1985 then you find yourself having to make lease decisions for the next huge oil boom(yepper).I find it quite tiresome just to be pulled into the hype and circumstance but then feel compelled to follow it all through to fruition.

I've got an internet education on it and a realistic urge to forget about it.I'm tryin real hard to go with the latter.




Eloise-

No, not me,things can still go wrong down hole.Would'nt want to be a partner in a 10 million dollar catastrophe.

TD83-

I am wondering what your take is on the difficulties of producing the TMS.How does the porosity,fracturing,composition differ from Bakken shale.Is there one particular difficulty that comes to mind?

Encore will have a 2nd qtr presentation on Aug 7th at 9:30,presumably a live feed.Probably just the same old stuff.Since they are the main player now in the TMS I thought you might be interested.
GoHaynesville has a picture of one of those rolling Meth Labs on the homepage and damn it's a nice one.I'm gonna order three.
