The Haynesville Shale: A World-Class Gas Play
The Haynesville Shale in northwestern Louisiana and northeastern Texas is one of the most productive natural gas formations in the United States. First commercially developed in 2008, the Haynesville is known for its exceptional initial production rates and long-duration gas production from high-pressure, high-temperature wells.
Smackover and Haynesville: Understanding the Stacking
The North Louisiana play that supports Dolomite's founding ORRI targets both the Smackover formation and the Haynesville Shale — two distinct productive intervals stacked at different depths. This multi-zone stacking is what makes the play so compelling: shallow zones provide immediate production, while deeper intervals offer longer-term reserve potential.
Louisiana Light: A Premium Pricing Environment
Oil production from North Louisiana typically receives 'Louisiana Light Sweet' pricing — a premium benchmark that tracks closely with international pricing and typically commands a premium over West Texas Intermediate (WTI). For ORRI owners, this pricing context directly affects revenue per barrel.
Dolomite's ORRI: 8 Wells, 2025 Vintage, Full Life Ahead
Dolomite's 1% ORRI is tied to 8 deep wells drilled in 2025 — meaning these wells have their full productive lives ahead of them. Unlike mature assets that are declining, Dolomite's ORRI is on a newly drilled position with peak production years remaining.
The 'Dead Basin' Opportunity
The multi-zone redevelopment in North Louisiana / SE Arkansas that supports Dolomite's ORRI came from identifying productive potential in a basin long considered depleted. This is exactly the kind of technical insight that Dolomite's principals specialize in — seeing value where the market has written something off.
