I know of several good producing wells in Houma. I did some work with one company that drilled one right across from the Popeye's and Burger King. The location had a fence around it on 3 sides from other businesses/property owners and it was a nightmare trying to make everything fit. First time we ever "stacked" mud tanks! Talk about tight squeeze! Hear they been there for years.

this one is new, at the corner of prospect and coteau, right over the bridge.the one's around houma that i think you are talking about are on the west/north side of the parish.do these companies give the parish/city incentives to let them produce? ---as in fixing nearby roads/levees? many of the "other" ones have had connecting roads worked on . Trying to figure is this a coincidence or oil companies looking out for the parish?

When I worked for Riceland Drilling we did plenty of work in Houma.., drilling within city limits is fairly comon, I just came off of two jobs in downtown Laurel, MS., one 2 blocks from the mall and one right behind the Shoney's parking lot, You would have tripped out to see how many they had in Dallas/Fort Worth, all over in the city limits in '07-'09, it was crazy, rigs everywhere.

From my experience on land rigs, for the most part, no the oil companies did not give the parish anything..the only thing that ive seen is they would repair the roads leading to the well if the parish could prove that big truck traffic messed up the roads..and the cops would make a pretty penny off of all the crazy azz roughnecks driving like tards trying to get to the rig..

Do they give anything to the city/parish???????? How about millions of dollars in sales tax revenue?????? No matter where a service company is home based, sales tax is paid at the point of sale. In other words, if a mud company got an order for $100K for drilling mud and their office is in Lafayette, the sales tax revenue goes to Houma/Terrebonne since it was delivered there.

Do you have any idea how much money is spent on a a well, we are talking millions!!!!

PHI is not the biggest tax payer in Terrebonne, its some pipeline company maybe ElPaso.

Had 2 come up in 3 months on Highway 70 on the way to Pierre Part. They abandoned the one in Paincourtville.
