New member - just got an offer from Chesapeake to lease our land

We just got an offer on our 5 acre lot in Logansport for $3500 per acre and 25% royalty. From what I am reading, this seems like a good price to take. Do you all agree? Also, what chance is there that they will drill? Do you all know how frequently good comes out of a lease when a landowner is approached and signs? Thanks.

Baron,
That is an understatement!
Smart move laintexas. Royalties are the prize, keep you eyes on the prize. Has EXCO brought any production for you yet?
Thanks to your all's replies. Do you all have any idea if signing a lease is a fairly good possibility that they will actually drill for us to receive royalties? f.y.i.
Where is your property? If in Shelby County, what part of the county? Please give the contact information for the Chesapeake representative you are working with. I have property in southeast Shelby county.
The future is unknown. The way the business runs is determined by past results. Should a bad well be drilled near your land, the chances go down that a well will be drilled on your unit.

Under the current business environment, most companies are only going to be spending money for leases in areas they intend to drill. Speculative buying of leases is pretty much a think of the past- for the meantime.

Good Luck.

Who can really answer your question? You haven't provided any location information. Location is everything.
I have never put one in a lease.
I haven't either.
So KB, You're telling me there is a Santa Claus?????
Do you think 5 ac would be enough clout to get it? Depends, I guess. And it's true some rare individuals did get favored nations clauses back in the day. But the first response throws out advice to get a favored nations clause on a 5 ac tract that they don't even have a clue about where it's located. Makes me wonder if that was just a stumbling block thrown in the way. Am I being too harsh?
5 acres in a 640 acre unit = 0.78125%

Not enough clout.
KB, how do we check to see if a permit has been applied for in our section?

GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention.
