Hi Parker:

I'm really not trying to make friends, but I would prefer not to make any enemies either. All I'm trying to do is present information that gives another perspective. I have shared some of my own experiences as an independent and company landman and investor. Perhaps my posts will help people weigh all of the options and possible consequences of whatever course the might choose.

I truly believe that what I have posted is honest and correct.

Best,

Jay

No, this suit is active ... I WISH we could drop it because it has become a money disposal project. We have an obligation to our Lessors to pursue the case, so we must.

I sincerely apologize for being a bully....I was, and I regret it.

Mr. Murrell,
Are you the same Jay Murrell that ran for the District 37 State Senate seat ?

You would have fit right in.

Best, . . . Well. . . Have a Good One, anyway.

Thanks for the sentiments. Most landmen do not have access to very 'sensitive' information. Prospects, drilling schedules and such are usually privileged only to senior landmen, the folks whose jobs are secure. Field landmen actually have very little information regarding the dynamics of a project.

I worked on a project for a broker and I could not even tell our field guys who the client was. So, the chances of this happening is rare, in my opinion. It would be 'career suicide' for any landman attempting to divulge privileged information.

A few years ago, a colleague of mine was fired, he then contacted the competing brokerage in the field and offered all of his files and information to the brokerage for a landman position. The client the broker represented called my broker's client and informed him of the deception. Not sure where he is now, he may be reading my post.

There are plenty of landmen being laid-off right now. The numbers continue to climb each week. It is hard to gauge the impact of the current economic condition in our industry because the Haynesville Shale is business as usual. Sometimes I need to step back and look at E&P from other plays in the country to grasp the reality.

BTW, if any landmen are receiving and ORRI for leases they buy, please let me in on the secret.
