I believe the whole township is in the interest of the new projects in Arkansas! I know that there alot of information and some plat maps on line that show your property! Good luck

Thank you so much. It’s difficult to tell where my plat lies on this map. My section is on the Wilson Cemetary Location where Weiser & Brown drilled the Gladney #1 well. The Wilson Cemetary is my family’s. I hope this helps in getting a closer look.

Here is where you are in relation to the larger lithium play. I marked the Gladney #1 well with a black dot.

Wow thanks for the map. it covers where our wells are located I need to find the deed to see if we have lithium rights. I was able to take your map and overlay it on the map I have.

Lithium rights are a bit complex in Louisiana. May depend upon whether it was extracted from an oil and gas well as produced water constituent or whether a new well was drilled. You may have to do some online hunting for recent court rulings.

Thank you so much for the detailed map. I have sent my mineral property info to the big extraction companies in the area. They have not said no so I hope that they will consider my location. I did talk to the head operator with Weiser & Brown Oil Co. & he said that they had a meeting with Exxon who is woking about 7 miles to the South of my location. I will just have to be patient & hope for the best. Weiser & Brown have been putting the saltwater back from the wells that they drilled as they feel that the Lithium is there. Thanks again and let me know if you learn anythig elese. Best Wishes, Susan Ransone
