Mexco Energy Corp. (MXC) announced that they are purchasing 5,120 acres in the Haynesville shale area of DeSoto Parish, LA. Among the operating companies on the land, include Petrohawk Energy Corp. (HK) and Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK). In addition to the 5 horizontal wells already operating on the land, there is an estimate of 59 addition drill sites. Press release below:

Mexco Energy Corporation (MXC) announced the purchase of overriding royalty interests in 5,120 gross acres covering eight sections in the Haynesville trend area of DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, for an approximate purchase price of $1.65 million, prior to closing adjustments. Mexco paid $1.46 million in cash and 26,833 shares of its Common Stock. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase from working capital and primarily from its $5.0 million credit facility. The stock was issued from Mexco's treasury shares.

This acreage currently contains five (5) horizontal wells producing from the Haynesville Shale formation and operated by Petrohawk Operating Company which will operate six of the eight sections. The two remaining sections will be operated by Chesapeake Energy. The Company owns average overriding royalty interests of approximately .28%.

These 5,120 acres contain an additional 59 potential drill sites in the Haynesville Shale. Other wells drilled in the Haynesville area show the presence of at least two (2) other potential producing zones, the Bossier and Cotton Valley, which are held by production and available for development should conditions warrant. Hundreds of Haynesville, hundreds of Cotton Valley and several dozen Bossier Shale wells are currently producing in the Haynesville trend area.

DeWitt County, Texas: Eagle Ford Shale Update

By Andrea: http://oilshalegas.com

Petrohawk Energy Corp. (HK) confirmed its strong belief in the growth potential in their Eagle Ford Shale projects in DeWitt County, TX. In their 2010 2Q earnings call, Floyd Wilson, Chairman and CEO of Petrohawk Energy, stated:

"We expect to see a meaningful oil production component grow, fueled from new areas of our portfolio. Our growing Black Hawk area in the Eagle Ford Shale and our Red Hawk project, also in Eagle Ford Shale, should provide for this growth. This could bring the oil component of production to approximately 5% by year end and possibly much higher in future years. We will look for these higher-margin oil areas to meaningfully support cash flow growth and organic reserve growth."

Petrohawk Energy will have 90-some miles of gas and condensate gathering the line in the ground in the Black Hawk area by year end. In Hawkesville, the company has been putting pipes in the ground there for over a year now, and they are on track with their wells program.

Petrohawk Energy currently operates an approximate 20 wells in the Eagle Ford shale.
