acerage dispute between lease and deeds

My mother signed a lease 2 1/2 years ago and the lease covers some 235 acres but the property consiste of 247 acres as per deed. There is a clause in it that states more or less. At todays bonuses this quiet a bit of money. Land is in 10N 11W. You commits will be appreciated.

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?

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…
