Lessor and Jffree,
Are you referring to the Cowboy well in the JJ Hennis survey? What do you know about this well so far??

Lessor,
Do all of the mineral rights owners have to give permission when the mineral rights are undivided, for a seismic company to obtain a seismic permit? OR is one mineral rights owner and or one landowner's signature sufficient for a permit?

Hey Jffree, no I haven't. Been out of the loop with Thanksgiving and all. Do you know of anything new?

Lessor, Did you find out aything new about JJ Hennis Survey?

The person who signs the permit would be the one receiving payment. The surface owner may have to negotiate surface damages eventhough he did not sign a seismic permit; or if he did sign, he may collect on both.

Lessor, Are you saying that mineral owners as well as surface owners(if they are different) both get paid if siesmic crew wants to shoot?

A mineral owner (including undivided interest owners) may sign a seismic permit allowing a company to conduct seismic surveys on their land, eventhough the mineral owner may not own any surface. A surface owner may not prevent a mineral owner from "developing their mineral estate".
Some seismic companys do these seismic surveys either for an oil company or sometimes as a speculative survey or "shoot". The seismic company will then sell the information to the companies piecemeal or also as a whole. Also, the lock is put in the existing link of locks and chain in order to allow the seismic crew access in and across the property. Owners sometimes construe this to mean they are being "locked out", which is not usually the case, just mis-communication.

etx44,
Look on this website under "GEOLOGICALLY SPEAKING"
The topic is "SEISMIC QUESTION". "Alongview" is asking a question about Seismic. He received a letter. Maybe he will share the procedure with you. Lease or not...breaking and entering is not acceptable. Particularly if they are locking you out of your own property. What is the reason for them to change the lock when they could receive access from you if they have the right to be present on your land? Look at your lease and see if they have exploration rights including seismic which they probably do. Call Southwestern and ask them if they sent someone onto your land.
I don't understand how you know it is NOT Southwestern.
Good luck!

FM 354 ends 6 miles north of Denning in NW San Augustine county. The seismic crew cut my chain and put in their own lock, my lock is ok. It can not be South Western Energy as the survey grid covers many square miles.
Do they by law need to give notice ?

etx44,
Do you mean 353 instead of 354? If you mean 353 is this the north end of 353 up by Blandlake?
If you mean 354 could you be more specific where the north end of 354 is located.
Do you think it was Southwestern who cut your lock?
What OG's are doing seismic testing in north San Augustine County?
