If you do not mind the request - what Section, Township and Range?

MA, it can't be 6W and be in the Elm Grove Field.  It is either 16N-13W or 16N-12W if it is near the river.  If you can supply a section number, that would help also.  I wouldn't get in any rush to execute a lease until you get more information.

That's right, sorry.  It is in Section 25, Township 16, Range 13.

Good!  You're negotiating position is determined by the number of acres you own and whether an operator wishes to use any of the surface for operations.  The bonus offer is the least important term.  You want a quarter royalty and basic protective and beneficial lease clauses.  Ask for a copy of the proposed lease for your review.  Then you can decide whether you want to engage the services of an O&G attorney or take advise from strangers on a website.  Good luck.

I too received the same offer, my acreage is very small. Township 17 N Range 11W section 36 Bossier Parish. I have not signed. This is for the Haynesville Shale, as I already leased the Cotton Valley years ago, but have a depth clause in that lease.

Just be happy that somebody is actually making offers in this depressed market.
