Wendall M: The legal description, of your minerals, can be found in your lease. Also, you can contact a landman w/ Petrohawk and ask him to send you a copy of the Tobin Plat. The Tobin Plat will show you exactly where your tracts are located. From there, you can go to the TRRC web site and use the GIS maps to locate surveys and wells.
Hope this helps.
reallyoldguy: Thanks for the information...I'm new and am here to learn and with the help of you and people like you I'll get these "should have known myself" questions answered.

Does anyone know anything about sonerra resources Black hawk no.1??
I am new to all this and to be honest with ya it's VERY confusing lol..We have gotten a little off of it maybe 100 dollars in 2 years..is that bad???
danielle---the black hawk is a marginal Travis Peak well only made about 67 mmcf in 2+ years. But there is other formations in area Sonerra has several James Lime wells in area plus who know what maybe deep in the CV sands, shales, or Lime. So don't let some one talk you into selling your minerals.

The Chireno SWD Well No. 1 will be drilled by Chireno Disposal in the Carthage (Haynesville Shale) Field. This well will hit 5,450 feet .7 miles northwest of Chireno in the J.A. Chirino Survey, A-17.
I haven't seen anyone discuss the fact that EOG announced recently that they are selling all of their natural gas holdings including the Haynesville shale plays and going in a different direction.What will that do to values in the area especially since they hit some of the boggest wells. Also what about wells in development like ACLCO Unit well 33153?
My mother has an interest in the Coats #1 well in Nacogdoches. I received a phone call from my brother today saying that Petrohawk was now going to pay for 1/2 the royalty check that had previously been paid 100% by EOG. I went to my mailbox and sure enough there was a "Divison Order" from Petrohawk and a check for what I presume is 1/2 the royalty check. Does anyone know what this means or why they would do this? I sure don't understand what is happening.
Kathy--on the Coats #1 HK and EOG had been 50/50 JV in the well, but why they that double the accounting cost for each to issue check doesnot make lots of sense unless one or the other is planning to sale out their interest. One thing will be very interesting that is look at each check from EOG and HK and see if price for gas, gross sales, deductions, etc all match.
I am really new to this whole leasing thing. Could anyone tell me what the going rate is for leasing acreage and percent for royalties in the Chireno survey. I keep hearing different things everything from $1,000 - $4,000 an acre and from 20% to 25% royalties. Do different companies give different prices? Does it pay to shop around?
The going rate is whatever you decide you are comfortable with. The emphasis should be on the royalty and the closer you can get to 25% the better. If the bonus is more important to you (cash in hand), you may have to give up a few percentage points on royalty to get a bigger bonus. How much you can command depends on the size and location of the tract and whether there is any competition for your lease. That is one reason for not contacting operators. Let them come to you and take all the time you need to make up your mind. And, I would suggest hiring a lawyer to help you. The lease terms you accept may be something you will have to live with for a long time.
I appreciate the advice! I have been afraid of holding out for too long and then they drill around us. Is there any way to find out if there are other companies drilling nearby so we can have a better idea if there will be some competitors who would be likely to contact us in the near future?
You would have to give me the survey name or abstract number. If it is a large survey you need to give some landmarks near the mineral interest to narrow down the search.
You say "other companies" as if there is at least one company drilling near you. If you will tell us who that is (with a well name if you know it) it will be easier to look at your specific area to see what is going on around you.
I knew Encana was drilling in San Augustine County, I had forgot they were drilling in Nacogdoches as well. Julie, you are like a walking, talking Google.
reallyoldguy, i just noticed that you made a friends request and sent me a message. Unfortunately, I can't respond because the social networking portion of the website is down, so this is the only way I know to coorespond with you. The answer to your question about the R. Totin Survey is yes, I am that person. You may email me at: michaelhobrien@bellsouth.net
Woden-- suggest you ask that question on ijjree1 RRC of Texas Help Center group site but I think the map is a on going live daily data added as it is obtained
Woden, The map is updated any time an API # is assigned to a new permit. That happens when the mapping dept. finishes their review of the permit application.
Basically, if you find a new permit pending in a W-1 search, it will be spotted on the map when the API number is posted to the W-1 page, along with the Texas icon. Sometimes, if you are watching a permit closely, the API # will appear first but the location won't be on the map until the Texas icon is there, also. Usually, though, there is not much time separating the two events.
If you are talking about historical well locations, I don't know what they have planned.
Below is the legal description of the land that my relatives have leased to Petrohawk. Can anyone give me directions that I can follow on a map to look at this land?
162 acres, more or less, out of the Jose Antonio Chireno Survey, A-17, Nacogdoches County, Texas being the same land described as "Block No. 2"in that certain Deed dated December 15, 1906, from Geo. W. Eason, Trustee of the Estate of A. Wettermark & Son, in Bankruptcy to The Angelina County Lumber Company, recorded in Volume 64, Page 495, Deed Records, Nacogdoches County, Texas.
Mr. Maloy, I don't want to discourage you but J. A. Chireno Survey is over 40,000 acres. It would be nearly impossible to find that tract just with the description you gave unless someone familiar with that tract happens to see what you posted and realizes that they know where the land its located. If you have access to the Nacogdoches County Clerk's Office they have a wonderful record system. You'd probably have to run the title forward to the present owner and then look them up at the Appraisal District Office to find the location on the ground.
Petrohawk has a JV with EOG, who is drilling the Haynesville.
You might be able to search the Appraisal District computer for a 162 acre tract in J. A. Chireno. You'd then take those search results to the index cards and look back through the documents referenced on each tract that size to find the one that matches that Volume and Page in the description you gave. Who knows, you might get lucky and there would only be one tract described as 162 acres in that survey.
Mr. Maloy---the best way to locate this 162 acre tract is to have your relative who leased the minerals (Grantor) talk very nicely to the landman that they leased with and ask if they would share a copy of their run sheet map and plat with you.
I have approx 53 acres in the James Windsor Survey area of Nacogdoches County (supposedly ontop of the Haynesville Shale) and another 1/6 part share of an 11 acre undivided tract (in same survey area). What do I need to do to get them leased out? Also, can anyone tell me what the going lease offers and royalty percentage offers are at this time?
I just received my first royalty check from EOG and do not understand the production figures. When I compare them with the figures reported to RRC they are not even close. Should they not be the same or is there something else I need to understand about the reporting system? This is my first royalty check ever and I sure have a lot to learn. Help please.
HB100 is a very bad bill for individual property owner rights in Texas. Oppose forced pooling! Contact the House Energy Resources Committee beforectheir vote on Wednesday 3-13 and ask each one to VOTE NO ON HB 100!
Any advice would be appreciated! I am an NPRI owner on Badders Family Unit, which has been producing since June, 2011. I signed a pooling agreement with EOG in May, 2010, but have not received any royalty payments from them despite being in contact with numerous (serial) landmen and EOG personnel over the past >3 years. I'm always told that "yes, it's coming veerryy soon". Should I give up or what? I feel like I'm being a nuisance.........
Mary---recommend you go to EOG web site royalty relation department and email them with all your information to confirm you are a NPRI and request complete data on well then if they reply you got in writing what's going on.
I use to have a lease with Samson and my father took care of it up until he passed away. I called Samson and had everything switched over between my sister and I and his grandchildren after he passed. Since then the lease has expired and have heard nothing from them, and long lost the the name and number of the landman there, was Keith something. Should I call and pursue them for a new lease or contact another company with better chances of drilling? I'm in the far north western tip of Nacogdoches in the Sacul-Cushing area. Should I demand 1/4 or is 1/5 more the norms these days? How much per acre should I expect for just a lease? While we were with Samson another gas company laid a pipe line literally along the outside of our family fence line, I know I (or my father that is) missed an opportunity there. My place is at 31°47'27.30"N 94°52'57.68"W if that helps with which company I should go with.
