I figured as much...  This just reeks of CHK.  Make one offer, then threaten to rescind it if you don't sign right away....

 

In any event, Mr. Jenkins is very unhappy with the way this landman treated him and his family.  I would think that his first step should be a call directly to Whit Porter, and discuss this.  Maybe by going to the head of the company, Mr. Jenkins can bring this to a reasonable resolution.

just recivied this this morning. from Paul Hesser, Effective today iam rescinding my offer to lease your interest in the Phillp Owens property. it appears you think i am doing unfair and illegal negotiations with you. As i have told you before you are under no obligation to lease with us  and iam under no obligation to continue offering to lease your interest. (This man did not like me questioning concerning family members signing without an attorney

Mr. Jenkins,

 

This man's actions do not appear honorable.  You simply called his bluff.

 

 

 

the landman called Mr. Jenkins bluff
well I am adding that JW Porter is not willing to listen... in 2007  BEFORE he or really anyone knew of this HA play...(my personal experience) of  getting his attention is close to impossible.  Good luck.   As a good  person stated by excellent  members on this GHS , he may be a grand fellow in grade school etc..... to try and do business with this fellow..Good luck again... He even left EASY  money on the table...   dumb move.   
I still suggest Mr. Jenkins call Mr. Porter directly.  For whatever reason, Mr. Jenkins and the landman at JW Porter had a disagreement, and the relationship appears broken beyond repair.  At this point, it doesn't matter who is at fault.  A discussion with Mr. Porter might clear up whatever problems there are, and allow a deal to proceed to everyone's satisfaction.  It's worth a shot.
Same thing LJW suggested a few pages back!!!!
i thank everyone for the advise. Went up the ladder got an  apology from CHK. and will be moving forward. God! is a great God!

Now that's the kind of comments I like to see. .........

Again, good luck to you and your family arthur jenkins.

 

LJW (using my hubby's sign on)

Glad it worked out for you, Mr. Jenkins.  Now just make sure you get an attorney to review the lease.  And I cannot say this strongly enough:  MAKE SURE YOU GET COST-FREE ROYALTIES! An attorney can help ensure you have the proper language.  The cost of several hundred dollars will more than pay for itself many times over.

 

One more time:  MAKE SURE YOU GET COST-FREE ROYALTIES!!

Hey Two Dogs- sorry I have missed you when you came by.  Two more weeks and I will be out of the office, permanently. If you are in Mansfield, come by and see me.
You need to speak to an attorney. You property can be forced pooled. I am in California also. My family here, we the last to be notied. I signed at $5000 an acre. However 7,500 and acre is a good offer with 25 percent royalty.
