I have about 50 acres of land in Louisiana. A person on a neighboring piece of land about 400 yards over is having a well put in place on his land. I'm almost positive that there is oil and gas on my property as well. Testing has shown oil to be throughout the area. It follows a path once called the Tuscaloosa Trend. What is the best route I can take to have a well set up on my property to allow drilling?

Make sure you have the mineral rights to it before contacting ANYONE. You might find someone you never heard of before coming in and drilling on your property if they find out there's oil there.

You can't ask your neighbor what he did? Maybe you should contact local drilling companies and let them know you are willing to lease land for drilling, and see what they offer.

Check the Goelogy records for the area. I know of a case where the well was on one side of the fence and they drilled at an angle to get to the other side of the fencr for the oil.
