Hello,
My sister, two aunts, and I own 80 acres of undivided property in Claiborne Parish:
Section 3, Township 22 North Range 8 West, Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter and
Section 34 Township 23 North, Range 8 West, Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter.
We have received an offer for $300 per net mineral acre, a 1/5 royalty, and a 4-year paid up term.
I am not sure if this is the going offer. Can anyone advise us about this and also can anyone recommend a good lawyer who would look over the lease for a reasonable fee. None of us live in Louisiana any more.
Thank you,
Sandra

Last year I leased acreage in 22N, 7W for $400/acre bonus, 25% royalty to top of Smackover; 20% below. Term is 3 years basic; 3 years option.
Thank you very much for the information. Really appreciate it...this should help me.
Sandra,
I think you should get terms equivalent to terms which Little Red got.
I sincerely appreciate your reply and your information. I value the opinions of everyone here. My father was very knowledgeable about everything to do with land and leases, etc., and I am totally unaware. My father would be happy to know that you are helping me to make an informed decision. Do you know of another O&G attorney other than the one already recommended by Skip Peel (Randy Davidson, Davidson, Jones, & Summers)? I need to do something tomorrow and would like to have the name of more than one attorney if possible. I also need an estate attorney in Louisiana attorney to get my Louisiana assets into my trust. Thank you, again. Sandra
I researched several oil and gas attorneys in Shreveport. Ultimately, I engaged Randy Davidson of Davidson, Jones and Summers.
For estate issues, I recommend James R. Hatch in Homer.

I really appreciate your sharing the attorneys you use. I will check out both of them this week. Thanks again. Sandra
Little Red,
Can you share with us who leased your land? My guess is Whiting, or their agents [Miller Land Resources].
Miller Land Resources was the leasing agent. I assume that they were acting on behalf of Whiting Petroleum, but I do not know that for sure. They would not disclose the lessee.
I am almost 100% sure it is Whiting. I really like that Company. Perhaps biased because I bought stock in Co. several years ago because of their results in Bakken Shale.
Does anyone know anything about Marlin Exploration LLC? Thanks. Sandra
Not yet.

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
