If you're referring to who I think you are - he's gathered a pretty frosty reputation among lots of people who dealt with him in the past in North Louisiana.

An operator isn’t as likely to carry someone on say…a 50 acre tract. Especially in Louisiana where you need 80% of the mineral servitude owners within your spacing unit leased to legally drill the well.

Depends on prices when you ride it down. I've done it in places, but I'm also in the business not a residential lot owner. APEX is running 12 rigs last I heard (while gas prices have back slid to $3.00). You likely know this but he's gambling on price riding down Haynesville wells - if you get lucky and the well comes in under AFE and prices are good the first few flush months he may make 2.5x. Conversely prices stay south and the well takes 3-4 years to payout, or they lose tools and have to sidetrack, etc. and he was better off leasing.

He went back and touched the plate after it was over but not sure the catcher made any tag and he blocked home plate.

Why are they not calling breaking ball there?

Shows that even with good stuff if a pitcher can't locate it doesn't work on college level hitters.

re: The ducks finally showed up yesterday

Posted by TigerDog83 on 2/3/26 at 9:10 am to Motorboat

Supposedly there may be some data that hunting past January 15 may be hurting the ducks due to pair bonding and the need to prepare for northward migration. Osborne and others have been doing the tracking studies and it shows interesting findings. Most of the ducks in the mid south arrive before the Dec. 21 solstice. Hunter success goes up tremendously during these hard freezes because they get concentrated and get forced off the refuges they find when they make it down. The pressure on the birds is relentless now and the fall flights are much smaller than 10 years ago with the ongoing northern breeding grounds drought.

re: Blowout in Blanchard Oklahoma

Guessing that maybe the hands were having some kind of problem and tried to loosen them as a short cut removing something or replacing a packing or some sort of internal part and forgot to re-tighten them but we will see when official word leaks. Just what rig hands like to do. It's been my experience that once a gland nut leaks you get a wellhead company out to replace it and torque it up/ensure it is a good seal.

Saw a post on X saying the well was blowing out through the gland nuts on the wellhead. Would make sense in that you can see 3 distinct radial plumes coming from the head. Sounds like they took an influx pulling/removing tubing and the BOP was closed but the gland nuts and/or the lock screws on the wellhead failed. Probably some rig hands got caught loosening them to make work easier coming in or out of the hole - anybody who has spent time on a workover rig knows what I'm talking about here.

Guessing the yellow mist is condensate that is entrained in the gas spreading out over the area.

I killed my best buck last year on a day where it took me an extra 30 minutes to get in the saddle, dropped my pull rope, had to re-adjust my platform for 20 minutes, and left half my gear in the truck. Sometimes it's meant to be, and for the effort you've put in I'm rooting for you.

Yeah we got a little freezing rain early then all sleet until the tail end where it sprayed more freezing rain. Lucky so far kind of like 2021. Nasty stuff looks like Sabine/desoto.
