Tigre Lagoon hearing moved to October 27 in Baton Rouge

A state conservation hearing concerning the Tigre Lagoon Field in Vermilion Parish has been continued to Tuesday, October 27, at 9 a.m., according to the Department of Conservation and Energy's legal notice published October 17, 2026 and its current hearing calendar, checked October 22. The notice places the hearing in the first-floor Hearing Room, LaSalle Building, 617 North Third Street, Baton Rouge.

The agency's October 27 public docket, checked October 22, identifies the Tigre Lagoon matter as 26-309 and marks it continued from October 13. The published notice retains the original October 13 date in its opening paragraph, then expressly moves that hearing to October 27 at the end. The agency calendar confirms the new date and 9 a.m. start.

According to the notice, the application asks the department to redefine the Lower Cris R Zone, Reservoir A, and confirm the existing unit boundary, tract-sharing percentages and operator. The notice identifies the existing governing order as No. 192-EE, effective August 27, 2013. These are requests for state orders; the notice and hearing docket do not establish that the requests have been approved.

The questions concern the zone's definition and the administration of the named unit. The notice seeks confirmation of existing boundaries and sharing percentages, without establishing that a different percentage has been adopted or that new drilling has been authorized. It says a plat is available for inspection at the department in Baton Rouge and Lafayette, but gives no office hours or room number for that inspection.

For interested people planning to attend, the notice describes attendance as an invitation, not a summons. It does not specify a remote-attendance link, general public-comment period or written-comment deadline. Its written assistance-request instruction refers to ten working days of the hearing date; it gives no revised assistance deadline for the continuance. The department's current event page lists its general contact number as 225-342-0510 for checking arrangements directly.

The current agency event and linked docket are the places to check for another continuance before traveling. Any later account of an adopted order requires the department's decision record.
