The question with wide-ranging implications for Louisiana operators and mineral owners in Johnson et al. v. Chesapeake Louisiana LP et al is whether unleased mineral owners in a drilling unit established by the Commissioner of Conservation must bear their proportionate share of post-production costs. The statutory scheme. Under Louisiana’s forced pooling statutes, the Commissioner may form drilling units and appoint an operator to drill and operate wells for all owners in the unit.

For the first time, astronomers have observed a star that has entered a state of low, or flat, activity – analogous to the famous Maunder Minimum that gripped the Sun during the latter half of the seventeenth century. Anna Baum , of Penn State University and Lehigh University, led a survey of 59 approximately Sun-like stars, combining over 50 years’ worth of observations drawn from the likes of the Mount Wilson Observatory HK Project that ran from 1966 until 2003 (though Baum’s team did not have

Waste(d) energy are thoughts about using waste around us to provide us with one of our basic needs…energy. The Space. Though energy from waste looks inspiring, it takes more than just ideas to make it work. Perhaps the best place to start is understanding what benefit each type of waste brings to the table. ROTTING MATTER. Though organic or rotting matter constitutes a huge chunk of domestic and agricultural waste, diverse methods could be applied in drawing energy out of it.

A massive and exotic type of neutron star could be formed by the merger of two neutron stars and avoid becoming a black hole – at least temporarily. That is the conclusion of Arthur Suvorov at Manly Astrophysics in Australia and Kostas Glampedakis at Germany’s University of Tübingen who have calculated that magnetically supramassive neutron stars could stave off gravitational collapse, despite lying above the theoretical mass limit for black hole formation.
