I would not take less than a "no cost" 25% royalty with Pugh clauses etc. 

 

I have been told that "leasing is a full contact sport".  Everything is negotiable.  Do not sign their lease.  Have an oil and gas attorney draw up the lease and nogotiate from there.  Do not get in a hurry.  What you sign will likely be in place the rest of your life.  The lease language is what is important, the bonus money is just icing on the cake.
