Aethon Leasing In Bienville
I have received multiple reports of lease offers by Hunter Energy leasing for Aethon in the Jamestown/Castor area. The initial lease offers are low ball looking for mineral owners who don't know what is going on. Please advise family, friends and neighbors in that portion of Bienville.

I have 80 acres in Section 10 15N-8R and received a verbal offer for $1500/acre with 1/5 royalty from Aethon. I'd rather have 1/4. What kind of activity is happening in this area between Jamestown and Castor?

Is something going on in this area, yes. There are now lease offers in section 10, 21, 24 and 28. Besides Willow Creek we have reports of lease offers by Castor Resources - RHR LLC. It is still early but I would suggest that anyone who is on the verge of signing a lease do two things. First check the public record in Bienville Parish to see what companies have recorded O&G leases and where. Then go to a Shreveport law firm that has a track record of representing mineral owners and engage them to find out if they are in the process of negotiating leases for others in your vicinity. Early in a leasing phase it is always good to move slowly and to wait. Landmen will want to rush you and may even use threats but as long as we know active leasing is underway, you should be fine waiting to know more or to get better lease term offers.
