....and as a result we have an explosion of caribou!..............
Ya know, that myth doesn’t hold any more truth than ones the caribou were going to all die.
That pipeline is well insulated. The snow doesn’t easily melt off of it. It doesn’t feel warm to the touch. It certainly doesn’t radiate enough heat to warm the area around it. If it did do that, the waxes in the oil would plug up long before it got to the second pump station.
Then somebody must have been feeding Viagra to the caribou!....................
They did cut back on the hunting around the newly built oil production facilities. Oil companies frown on rifles used around the piping.
Also gravel roads and facility pads raised several feet above the tundra made movement easier, predators could be seen a a member of the herd from a farther distance away.
And they allowed the very young a chance to get out incredible mosquitoes in the tundra. It is hard to describe just how bad that sometimes was.
good luck on being a lessor.
My wife enjoys well production already.
The property has been in the family since at least the 1840s. I’ve got copies of leases going back to 1930s, over multiple decades.
In the 1960s they drilled 3 wells, none became producers.
South of the Haynesville, In the the Austin Chalk near the TX/LA border.
Claimed they were interested in the James Lime. No wells drilled in the last couple years within miles...
I dream big, but only dreaming...
My wife’s royalty derives from her family’s property that is almost 100 years old.
family had to wait 90 years before royalty came in recently.
Not too far away as well tested the James Lime at 2mmcfd but the liquids in the Edwards caused it to be completed there.
The Eagleford is marching east, sometimes known as the Eaglebine as it is a combo-play with the Woodbine, although it becomes skinny that way. In time, they will have to go after it as it does contain hydrocarbons.
Thanks, it would need to go east quite a bit to reach us in Sabine Parish.

My wife also has family mineral interests in this play.
Good luck to ya. Remember FR if it comes in big...
big is relative.
Big to industry is not the same as to an individual which can use that mailbox paycheck every month, especially a retiree like me in his first month.
If it feels big to you then.
Cheers!
