The exact thing happened to us. If the companies can make a few acreage off of each lease, they are really far ahead. I blame myself for not talking to a lawyer and we leased five years ago. We have leased in the past and had no ideal all of this was coming about. A shallow well was produced, so now we are held by production. This company sold our lease to CHK. These companies have lawyers draw up these contracts. I bet they know we would not even question the more or less clause. I think it is a binding contract. Sorry

I have called to discuss this with a lawyer and see what can be done. I was there when the lease was signed and she complained at that time about her acerage. She was told tnot to worry because prior to drilling it would have to be right. I guess one question is if 12 acres not accounted for in the production area how and to who is this money paid? is that production area only 628 acres instead of 640?
