Hi Zydeco,

From what I've been told, I think the lump sum payment is considered capital gains and therefore taxed at 15% compared to our personal tax bracket/36% taxes we pay on our royalties, which can be a benefit of selling.  No?  Do you have a different impression of the tax implications?

was your offer 300 x what you were getting for EACH ac. For example if you were getting $100 ac. ac in Royalties, would they pay $30000 per ac. Am I understanding this right?

More like if we are receiving $1,000 a month, the offer is more than 300 x that monthly amount, for a total of $400 K.  Just as an example.

@shalegeo, here's the info.  36 - 15N - 16W.  Caddo Parish.  

Anything you can dig up or know about Chesapeake adding anything/subtracting anything from this area would be a huge help.  

But am I thinking about this the right way? The only way we (and/or the company that buys our mineral rights) stands to make any additional money is if new wells are added to OUR property -- that we own.  It doesn't matter if it's added to anyone else's property in the 640 acre unit because my royalty checks don't have anything to do with well producing on other people's properties.  Just like I assume there are landowners in the unit who don't have a well who are not getting royalty checks. Right?  

So "undeveloped potential' is the potential for my property only in terms of this potential sale/investment?

Katie, is this property in south Caddo? Indigo Minerals is also drilling multiple Cotton Valley wells in some areas of southwest Caddo, so that could be another reason you are getting the offers

Listen to Jay!!!!!!!!  Get out your microscope and read fine print in offer. I have been rejecting such notices for at least 20 years. I finally got off Cobras' list. Or, simply place it in garbage can.

Katie, I am not an expert, just someone like you. HOWEVER, the folks on this board are amazingly knowledgeable and helpful.

For example, Shale Geo's word is usually good for whatever he says. If he says to recycle it that to me is a strong vote to toss it. However, there are others here who may have different views. Giving folks like you info is It's what our board does best.

I am sure the pros here also want to hear about any real lease/buy offers. If I could get 300 times my monthly royalties I might consider selling if I were in your position. But, to this uneducated good old boy it sounds a little too good to be true.

but, I will be "hopeful" for you and your good fortune! You have come to the right place to learn a lot of info very quickly to make a good decision.

IMHO....  The Haynesville gas market is likely at its nadir right now.  So one should buy when there is the proverbial "blood in the streets," not sell.  It is not a seller's market.  I cannot imagine prices are good.

Having said that, I have no idea of your financial position or age, so take my comments with that in mind.

Mrs. Waterson:

Nadir means the absolute lowest of the low point.....
