3 D Seismic lease

Hello All, 

I was recently contacted by an energy firm from Lafayette about leasing our acreage, a little over 100 acres, in south Rapides parish for a seismic shoot. We own the minerals only, not the surface. The lease is for 5 years and only payable if/when the shoot is completed. is this normal? I have an issue with singing something with only a probable payout later. Thanks.

If you go into Sonris then GIS, then choose Mineral Resources from Table of Contents, then Non-Exclusive Seismic Permit this will show you outlines of all permit areas on map and if you then choose A then I underneath Non-Exclusive SP it will show you the permit ID under A and some permit details (information) under I. And on the only outlined area west of Glenmora was permitted 2008/2009 by Tideland Geoph Co. and covered Allen, Rapides & Evangeline Parishes. No further info shown. Not sure if this helps.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
