And now things are getting interesting! Drake has obtained leases in two large tracts in which Vanna also has leases! Each of them has leases with multiple mineral owners (but not the same people) in an 8,500-acre tract and a 1,500-acre tract. Will be interesting to see how this gets worked out.
Has the battle for acreage between Mitsui and Expand (Chesapeake) begun?
Great info Alan. I really appreciate you sharing on the forum. I have learned several things from your posts. I have some minerals that I have inherited in the area and would like to keep up with activity in the area. Where do you find documentation of these new leases? It would be great to be aware of these new leases.
where could I get information on the Northwest part of Houston county, I used to check things our on TRRc, but its been at least 5 years since I looked at that website and I know there have been changes. Is the an easier way to navigate that site?
I’m not aware of Expand (Chesapeake) having EVER drilled and produced a Western Haynesville or Horizontal deep well in any of these counties like Leon, Freestone or Andersen Counties! I think that is also something to consider when leasing to them.
They leased the back part of our ranch in 2006. They wanted to connect us up with the Porter farm in Houston County. They tried to buy out hilcorp then but hilcorp wouldn’t sell to them. I bet hilcorp kicked themselves in the butt after what they sold this Alabama Ferry Field for in 2016.
