re: Landmen?

TD ~ Glad to see you're still posting. . . I noticed the Haynesville thread pretty much died out once the one with the gift of bloviation took over. I definitely understand what you're saying about the greed factor. Our family has been offered $2000 an acre bonus which we thought was a very generous offer, but they're only offering 20% royalty instead of the 25% that seems to have become fairly standard. Everyone keeps warning us that difference of 5% can be a HUGE difference. I would appreciate your thoughts on that. Also, have you heard any credible info regarding the Messenger well ~ we've been told repeatedly that the success of our area depends largely on the success of the Messenger well (although we're also not all that far from the Martin Field in Red River Parish.)

Haynesville Shale
I was in the Natchitoches Parish courthouse. Clerk's office was VERY busy today with landmen. One enployee said they are very secretive. If you go near their papers, they turn them over. All recently filed leases are in north Natch. Parish but they don't have to file leases immediately. Doesn't appear to be over here.



Anyone know of anything that might explain the increased activity in the Natchitoches Parish courthouse as indicated above? Thanks. . .
