I did hear it was a young family and that he was involved in the Oil and Gas industry. That house looks like it should be in the South of France not in the middle of a hay field.

Yeah. It has to be at least 10,000sqft. I had assumed it was Hal Sutton's new house.

His name is Richard Robert's, the house is about 15,000 square feet. He is the owner of valveworks, they make specialty non-corrosive valves mostly for applications in a certain country in South America. He is a smart businessman as anyone can see and a nice guy, one tip, don't play the guy in pool if there is any money on the line, lol.

I have had dealings with Mark Roberts. He is a geologist and I believe he founded Excel. Excel operated several Tokio wells on our place in Shongaloo. He is son of Robert F. Roberts. Excel wound up in bankruptcy and Crystal did also. I paid a price for that, Thanks to  my attorney. And, yes Robert F. was head of Crystal.

 

I am currently operating one of Excels abandoned wells. At least I was able to get all leases extinguished on our land due to 90 days of no production.Best thing I ever did to cancel 1950's leases.

If he is a geologist then I'm POTUS.  Robert F. started Excel.  Sorry to hear you had to pay a price but send me an email so we might further compare notes. Also be interested to know the name of your attorney.
