Lease Up or Not?

I leased mineral rights back in Sept 2004 for land I own in Red River Parish. Comparing my lease to the sample oil and gas lease at the bottom of the main discussion page shows basically the same lease verbage. Lease term was for 3 years. Lease maintaining beyond the initial term is standard if well drill, production, etc. No options for renewal listed.

Attached is the lease, with the names of the innocent, potentially innocent, and potential idiots removed.

There is a well shown on Sonris (Serial # 230512) that has produced in the past and is part of the Hosston formation, but does not appear to be producing any longer. I never received any royalties on this particular well.

Basic question is I am not sure if the lease is still in force, or am I free to lease again.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

I believe the well is shut in. If this is the case then you are hbp.

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…
