Bryan-- sounds like he was lease flipper. If your cousins adjoining acreage lease expires sounds like your lease will expire also which is OK then next time if get lease offer use all the knowledge from this site and only lease to operator who has the money, knowledge, and skills to drill a deep H well. Do you know what company presently has ownership of your lease?

I signed with them and my lease expired this month, I called and they gave me the number for Playa Oil and Gas in Houston, who told me they would contact the the lease holder to have them file releases for all of the leases in that area. I believe some company like Delta Drilling ended up with the leases. Playa Oil's number is 832-533-9655. Maybe someone else will show some interest now.

Wrong, Anderson worked for Playa, assigned to Playa. Playa kept an override than assigned to Delta, Delta than assigned part to Bison Ranch (subsid of Petrohawk) than Delta went belly up, and assigned all to Bison, Bison assigned all to Petrohawk. Why don't you call Petrohawk and ask them if they planning drilling the western area?

I was on the internet earlier today and found that Bison Ranch is just one of the many Petrohawk subsidaries.

1: Delta Petroleum might be the stupidest publicly traded company (non Pink Sheet) company in the E & P sector.
In 2007-2008 it was on par with KWK, XCO. Now, it barely is a microcap. The company is swole like a tick full of retards; you can see them at NAPE every spring -- usually trying to liquidate bad assets bought at bad prices.

2. Harold J. Anderson is not a lease flipper, but a large and legitimate broker out of the greater New Orleans area.
