East Texas,

Thank you for the reply. Ours is 12 acres at $12,000. Heirs are all elderly and really could use bonus money as they will probably never see royalty. We are hoping for the best.

Marshall Girl,

Since the broker will not help you, I don't know if this will help, but this is the telephone number to a Chesapeake Office in Oklahoma, (405) 848-8000. It can't hurt to call.

You can call the county courthouse in which the land is located and ask if someone will check the index. You will need to provide the names of the persons who are the Lessors and Lessee.

When you call the courthouse, ask for the mortgage and conveyances desk. It is simple for the clerk to check their computer system so if you get someone who refuses to check their computer index, wait a bit and call back again and hopefully someone more willing to help will answer.

Summer,

Devon is a huge company that is not dependent on Chesapeake for their money. Call them and see what they say.

So far the only company that we have heard that is not honoring their drafts is Chesapeake. We have heard of some being slow to pay, but Chesapeake presently looks to be the only one that is not paying.

GOOD LUCK, and please let us know your outcome. Then you can help alleviate the fears of others.

Summer, As I have stated a few times on here before, Devon paid on time on two leases for us, so did Endeavor, so did Cabot, and so did St Mary. Chesapeake seems to be the worst of the bunch and the rest are dragged down by their behavior and quickly souring reputation. And Jack, you know so little about each individual and their personal situation that I suggest you keep your negativity to yourself. It doesn't serve any purpose and it helps nobody. A number of companies are still paying on drafts, on time.

Thanks ALongview for your rep;y to Summer, above. We are supposed to get a proposal from a landman rep. CHK soon, and now I am wondering why the offer will/would even be made, if CHK is not honoring leases with $$$, so I'll try to follow this thread and post if this actually turns out. Tom
