thanks!!!
A lease does not necessarily reflect record title. It happens all the time where a company will go out and lease an owner and then the Division Order Title Opinion (DOTO) shows that they don't own any minerals. DOTO's are very expensive to have prepared and the majority of companies do not have these prepared prior to a well actually producing. The fact that your well started producing in October is the primary factor, it has now been 8 months, draw up a demand letter and send it to them with a return receipt request. I tell this to my owners as well, we are all at the mercy of the land department, but the land department doesn't have to explain that to the mineral owners.
DO Analyst,
Thank you! I had called again on June 6th and spoke with Ms Costelic(sp) at Petrohawk. She still had no info except that the unit is 565.181 acres instead of 640-had a legal hearing about a year ago that i got a letter about. She gave me the landman's phone number. I called him and he was very nice but did not have any info either. I will not follow the advice you and Skip have provided and try the demand letter. Is there a sample of the format on GHS that you know of I can use?
The DNR shows the last production posted as of March 2011 so I was hoping they will update that soon also.
I have updated my will with regards to the gas lease since at times I fear that as s l o w l y as this is going it may continue to inch along but my daughters will have to deal with it! Funny only if you like irony.
Thanks again
Anne
My fingers were supposed to type, "I will now follow the advice..."
I will have a talk with them

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
