Shelley

TY Shelly. I will give them a call and see what kind of info the are putting out about Sabine Co.

Hey Shelley
I have a cousin that has land on 705 just south of our "land" (we have the mineral rights only) that has signed with EnCana for $5000/ac. Do you know of any other companies that are offering leases in that area? I understand that Cabot maybe interested in that area as well. Thanks.

thanks for the info kelly. I wish we had a google earth map on this site with prices, company names and location. that would make it so much easier for us to follow. encanna and coastal are both with shell oil. By the way did you see the link of the interview with the chesapeake guy on one of the other discussions? he said it would power the usa for the next 10 years.

Shelley-- I live near Longview but have land near Timpson.

Shelly, there's an attorney in Center named John Walker
I've sent some people to. He seems to be an honest and forthright man.

No, ours is upper NE Sabine cty.

Jus got back in town. Anything new going on Shelley...hope you had a good weekend...

Glad to hear they are still interested in land around our area. Things seem to be picking up in our area. I doubt I will be at the Timpson meeting but take good notes and let me know what happens....good luck to you...are you about ready to sign? Delete Comment

east texas land owner I believe..

Not sure in San Augustine. Be nice if we had someone to bring all the land together on 705.

Thanks for the phone number. My sister talked to an independent landman contracted by Crimson Exploration, and he (she) said that Crimson is interested leasing in our area. Below is the contact info.

Hey Shelly, any new offers since Encana made theirs? I thought I might try to go to the meeting in Timpson tonight. Are you going?

I don't think Mike Biley has leased. He is waiting. Not sure about Donald Woods..he has the chicken houses down from us. Also the daughters that have the Wolf place (Vennie and Liz)..they haven't leased yet. Also Wayne Hightower has some land before you get to the bridge on 705...not sure about him either. That is all the folks I know in the area. That could probably add up to quite a bit of land.

Have not heard anything...maybe someone will post something soon...

Hey Shelly, the meeting last night was good. Large turnout. Most of us on this site have heard a good portion of what was covered, ie don't sign a standard lease form, get "no cost" royalty, that sort of thing. Chesapeake sent a couple of landmen from Dallas and Shreveport to give a power point presentation on the process of drilling a well. Example used was vertical not horizontal but it gave you an idea of what the process involves. They answered a lot of questions which was helpful. They said they like to go into areas where the landowners are unified and have a lease form already that they all agree on. It makes everything go faster for everyone. They said that l.o. groups need to pick one or two people that they all trust to act as spokesperson for the group.
There was more but too much to go into here at this moment. Hopefully others will start posting some of their impressions from the meeting. It will help eveyone.

Shelley, we will be in San Augustne Saturday. Auddie's place is on CR 3000. Stop by if you get a chance. We normally don't leave until around 4:00 on Saturday afternoon.

Your welcome. No news in the past couple of days. Do you know anything about the Timpson meeting?
Lot's of speculation out there... Do you know of group forming south of SA along 705? Thanks!

We have 227.5 ac in the W.White (A-308) Survey. Thanks for your help.

That name is not familiar to her Shelley.

OK. Encana called me and they are looking into our land. They guy said he would be calling me back after her verifies the mineral rights etc.....not sure what is going on with Encana...

Encana may have more than they can handle right now...they may be trying to tie up some pools

Just said they would be calling me back after they checked out my mineral rights...he said it might take a few days...they did not make me an offer over the phone..

I put 50 ac. on a waiting list with DJ Energy (leasing for Devon) and was told when they got to it they would call. I have been told that they have an offer out there on their areas of interest for 5K and 1/4 royalty. I can't confirm yet...they haven't offered me anything although Mr. Hargrove did say he thought they "might" have some interest in that area... It's all a game with them...they make you wait if you seem anxious to lease hoping you'll settle for less bonus money. What you have to do is make them worry that you will sign with someone else for MORE money. Play their game Shelly. They are not going to run over to the other companies to verify whether a larger offer was made or not.

Shelley,
We've heard from a landman a dry hole was hit southeast of us which has gotten companies nervous about leasing mineral rights in that area. Heard anything about this? :( Thanks.

Hey Shelley,
Anything new? How did your visit with the attorney go? Did you say you were meeting with EnCana this week?
Take care!

Shelley,
Thanks for the info. I guess we are also waiting for approval. We have been in Branson so I have not called anyone yet, but I will. I really appreciate your help!! Take care.

Yes Shelly we do own the surface rights. As for the well is old it was here when we purchased the property so no we've never been paid anything. It was capped off years ago, long before we were here. If I'm not mistaken the mineral rights are probated just as any real property is when someone dies. But what if there was no will and what if like other property in Texas if there is no lien it just automatically goes to next of kin or do the mineral rights go back to the state of Texas. I wonder if there is a "found mineral" rights like there is for "found money" maybe through the Texas Comptrollers office. I'm sure we need to just call Ken Muckelroy (Attorney) in Center and ask him. I think the consult call is free. I tried last week but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

W. White, A-308 :)

hi shelley
i see you live in san augustin. i have mineral rights there but i live in kilgore tx. can you give me any helpful info about how things are going in sa?

shelley
i do not know exactly where the land is. but i do know it is in between san augustine and macune. i didnt even know i was the heir to this property until cabot found me.

r.a wood jr, hallie smith

how do i go about contacting encana? do i contact them or do they find me?

MINERALS ONLY. THE LAND USED TO BELONG TO MARTHA BURLESON BUT SHE KEPT THE MINERAL RIGHTS WHEN SHE SOLD IT.

Shelley,
No big deal. I (we) appreciate all the information you have given us. Nothing new on this end. Take care
P.S. please call me Bud :)

Thanks for the kind words, Shelley. We visited Encana's office about a week ago & are patiently waiting for a response. Good luck to you & all mineral owners in the Haynesville play!

I AM JUST WONDERING WHY YOU ARE WANTING TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT MY SITUATION. ARE YOU A LANDMAN?

shelley i really appreciate your help. i just started getting a little suspicious. you never know about people these days. i dont want you to think that i was being rude....i was just curious.

what do you mean when you say encana is running out title?

WELL I AM 25 YRS OLD AND A MOTHER OF 2. I HAVE A 7 YR OLD STEP SON AND A 6 MTH OLD DAUGHTER. I AM REALLY NOT AN OIL TYCOON....I JUST LIKE THE PHRASE! MAYBE ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE TYCOONS!!

5,000.00 THAT IS GREAT!!! I HAVE ONLY BEEN OFFERED $1,000.00 FROM CABOT.DOES ENCANA HAVE AN OFFICE AROUND SAN AUGUSTINE?

HAHA. THATS FUNNY! I WORK FOR A MAJOR OIL COMPANY CALLED BJ SERVICES.

HAHA NO I AM THE DISTRICTS SECRETARY.

THE GUYS AT WORK KEEP TELLING ME TO WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. BUT I AM HEARING THAT THE AREA IS NOT AS GREAT AS THEY ANTICIPATED. $5,000.00/ACRE SOUNDS GREAT TO ME!!! ESPECIALLY SINCE I DIDNT KNOW THAT I WAS THE HEIR TO THE MINERALS UNTIL A MONTH AGO!!

NO I STILL DONT KNOW THE EXACT LOCATION. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WORKS AT THE SAN AUGUSTINE COURT HOUSE. SHE ALSO HAS LAND THAT IS CONTIGIOUS TO OURS. WE ARE ALL WAITING TO SIGN TOGETHER.

I KNOW HER FIRST NAME IS JAMIE BUT NOT SURE HOW TO SPELL HER LAST NAME...JAMIE DAUGHTERY.

DO YOU KNOW HER?

I CALLED THE 936-275-2555 AND NO ONE ANSWERED. A RECORDING PICKED UP THAT SAID "YOUR PARTY IS NOT ANSWERING. YOU CALL IS BEING DISCONNECTED"

YES I CALLED THEM AGAIN. MAYBE THEY ARE VERY BUSY! I AM NOT SURE WHO HER HUSBAND IS...WE ARENT CLOSE.

DO YOU KNOW SCOTT TOMLIN?

I THINK HE WORKED FOR AN EMS SERVICE. HIS PARENTS ARE MY PARENTS NEIGHBORS. HE IS A GOOF BALL. THANKS FOR THE OTHER CONTACT.
