David-

 

There is always interest and leasing going on in Most of the counties in south AR where production of hydrocarbons occurs. The first thing I would recommend is that you verify ownership of the minerals as well.  I say that because the early years of the industry saw much buying and selling of mineral interests from the land owners by those who weren't actually drilling, but were profiting off surface owners who needed cash by buying the minerals cheaply from them, and then selling to others. Quite a bit done by those representing larger oil & gas companies. Yes, a reprehensible practice IMHO. In the event you do own the minerals as well, post your legal description ( location within a section, township and range) and if there is an interest in that area, perhaps one of the professionals on the sight might contact you. Good Luck!

Cathy, I believe that is something you will need to check with the escrow holder/manager as to the minerals. From what you said, it sounds as if you do not have any minerals through the escrow. But I am just a simple geologist so please check with your escrow handler.
