Welcome to the Haynesville Shale Education Center! Designed and monitored by the Louisiana Oil & Gas Association, sponsored by Encana Corporation, HSEC.la is Northwest Louisiana's most comprehensive resource for information relating to the Haynesville Shale natural gas formation.

The Haynesville Shale has been referred to as the largest natural gas formations in the nation and one of the largest in the world. As such, there are many questions concerning what natural gas is, where its located, how its drilled, and surrounding the mineral leasing process. Through our continually updated educational articles and completely interactive forum, we invite you to take a tour, ask questions, and even submit anonymous comments, suggestions, and complaints.

Again, welcome to your Haynesville Shale Education Center - the future of natural gas is here!
