Even then, some will expire since gas prices are so low. When natural gas prices do rise in the coming years, the deeper EFS will come into it's own. The Eagle Ford in Duval is deep, dry gas.

The Texas Railroad Commission is considering creating rules to implement the Mineral Interest Pooling Act (MIPA). MIPA is the statute that authorizes "forced pooling" in Texas – whereby contiguous mineral rights owners can be forced into "units" and have their minerals extracted… even against their will. Despite the statute's enactment over 30 years ago, administrative rules have never been adopted for MIPA. The reason the TRC is considering the rules now? Among other things, they want to legitimize railroading (hah!) small landowners -- who want no part of production/leasing -- into not just drilling, but PAYING for the drilling they don't want. If the well isn't profitable, new rules could wind up losing landowners money. MIPA is objectionable as written and currently enforced, even with no rules. That the Commission is considering regulations that would further disadvantage landowners to the benefit of big oil and gas is obscene. TAKE ACTION: Speak up for Texans' property rights and send a letter to the Railroad Commission. Tell them any new rules must better protect our property rights from the oil and gas industry.

There are lots of men and activity in the northern areas of Gonzales County from FM 1680, FM 95, in Fayette County FM 2762 and with other operatives in both Cuero, Moulton, Schiner, and even Muldoon, TX. However, conversating with those operatives and they dine in Flatonia, TX; gave me information of a northwards trend to Burleson County and other towns of speculation to include oil companies like Chasapeake, EOG, and others! In addition, there is a lot of landman activity too, along with the recent Texas A&M Extention Seminar in Gonzales County last week. I've posed the question on this blog for Brendan or others for research and clarity on truth to speculation, but no takers. Thanks! Charles is my name, Joe if this question is meant for me.

In the Northern Gonzales County and Northwest and Southwest of Flatonia, Texas in Fayette County activity has increased with Southern Bay, Sharon Hunter, ZaZa and Nabors who is doing a lot of vertical drilling. Tonight I heard that Chasapeake Energy and others are late to the Oil Window, but highly interested in this areas since another formation is being explored (Edwards)in addition to EF. In and around Lavaca County and Gonzales County wells, I understand that the Buda is the formation above the Edwards but below the EF, and Magnum Hunter has sold 35% of is leased inventory to Southern Bay and that the Edwards is being explored! So, can you shed light on this issue? And, is it true that that in and around the areas mentioned that the thickness is 11,000 to 8,000 and not fringed? Last, I heard that there is a “coal” trend running through the region too! Brendan, let us know, and thanks. Brendan,

Global Frac LLC's claims to exploit "Megawatersheds", according to their website. The concept has never been proven in the U.S. Have an attorney review their contract. Chances are, it gives them all your water zones, from surface to infinity, to be held by production, forever... I agree.
