The lease I executed with Chesapeake on my small acreage in DeSoto Parish (Sec. 29) expires shortly.  Does anyone have information about whether Chesapeake is renewing outstanding leases (no automatic renewal allowed in my lease) and if so, when they typically contact the lessor?  I know that they are drilling in the section adjacent to my land.  I understand that if they do not contact me about renewal, I should notify them to file a lien release on my acreage so that other companies know my land is available for lease. 

 

I appreciate any information others can provide- this site is so beneficial to those of us who reside far away and don't have "boots on the ground"!

Your lease is not held by production?

 

T. Andrews,

 

Please share your township and range.  There are a hundred "Section 29s" in DeSoto Parish.  Look on your tax bill, and you will find this information.  If you don't have your tax bill, please tell us the specific location of the land.  That way, we can offer better help.

 

CHK is renewing some leases.  It is letting others expire.  That is why we need to know exactly where your land is.  If CHK plans to drill your section, and your lease expired, I suspect they will contact you.  Yes, you should ask them to file a release in the courthouse when your lease expires.  They may file it for you, or they may send it to you and let you file it.  But either way, it is good to file the release.

Thanks to all for the responses.  The location is Section 29, 11N 11W.  I don't believe any wells have yet been permitted in this T/R (based on what I can tell from Sonris).  I have also heard of some lessors who have been contacted about renewal on the very day of lease expiration.  Any knowledge about this T/R is greatly appreciated!

 

I have 25 acres and my cousin has 40 acres that was leased to chk. did not have a two year option and chk did not try to release it.also family has about another 150acres that is unleased at this time . there has not been a unit appilication for  thi sec.29/t11n/11w. so therefore  no permit to drill.
Many thanks for that info, buckmaster.
