How do I get found by an oil & gas company?

I am one of the few landowners in Stonewall LA that did not sign a lease during the original rush to sign in that area. It was recently announced that the well closest to my house has "hit". I don't live on the property, in fact, I live out of state. My name is also different from what it was when I lived there. Without getting a lawyer involved, how do I get on the Chesapeake radar in case some proceeds are due to me? I have called Chesapeake (a couple of times, but not since the well hit) and I just get referred to land men that seem to have no definitive answers.

Thank you Dion. Yes, my name has changed and yes, I'm sure that the landman could not find a good address and yes I think you are right about the abstract not being progressed enough. It was a difficullt research to ensure the mineral rights belonged to me also, as there was a probate or heir issue way back before I bought the property.

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…
