Cathaus

Cathy,
have you been approached by Goodrich Oil Co.?

Cathy:

Do you belong to a homeowners association? If so, what is the name. I am trying to organize the Northwood Hills, Indian Hills and Northwood Trace subdivisions.

Cathy how many owners are you expecting I just got a offer for $1000 an acre from Goodrich...LOL

I have no idea how many will show up for the meeting on Sunday afternoon. All residents of the Blanchard area are welcome to come. We have been emailing and calling everyone that we know to inform them of this meeting. We have also put up signs. I have not been contacted by Goodrich. We have no homeowner's association name as of now. Visconte, please feel free to join us Sunday afternoon at 4. Maybe we could exchange ideas with your association. There is power in numbers and the more people that band together, the higher the numbers ($$$$$) will be!

We had 18 home owners from the Shreveport-Blanchard Highway area to show up Sunday afternoon. They went home and told their neighbors about the meeting and my phone has been ringing off the wall today! We will meet here again on June 29th and I think that we will easily double last Sunday's attendance. We tallied up the number of acres represented by the attendees as well as those that couldn't be present. As of now, we have approximately 80 acres committed to our coalition. I expect that we will far exceed 120 acres by the end of this week. Look out O & G guys, we have the numbers and are vigorously working on a list of clauses to be incorporated into our contracts. You will find that we are a formidable band of "simple country bumpkins"!

are you meeting on Sunday?

We will meet here at 4. Why don't you join us?

you mentioned about other blogs discussing the forced pooled or 100% royalities, can you direct me to them.

I just received a call from Twin Cities informing me that my contract was ready to sign! To my knowledge, I have no contract. I did go to Primitive Baptist Church one evening and put down our contact information, but certainly made no committment to them. I had heard that July 1st started a new fiscal year for Chesapeake and that more money would be available for leases. Seems that was one rumor that was true! I informed the landman that not only would I not be signing a lease at this time but that our association in this area had committments of nearly 150 acres and we would be taking offers. I asked him if he was interested in our dirt! His response was that he would turn the information over to his SUPERVISOR and would be back in touch with me. Did anyone else in the Blanchard area
get the same call?

I have a question that may sound dumb but here goes anyway!
If there are 8 operating wells in my unit will I receive royalities from all of them?

cathy,
do you know if any test wells have been drilled aywhere near you? Perhaps on the Blanchard-Latex road? Please let me know.
Thanks!

There is a well on Highway 169 but I have no further information on it. There is going to be one on the Bostwick Road, but again, no more information.

I'd like to know everything about collecting 100% royalties. Can you help?

Rocker,
I have very minimal knowledge of collecting 100% royalties. If I am wrong in telling you this I am sure someone will correct me! If you do not sign your mineral rights to a company and are forced pulled, you will be able to supposedly collect 100% of your mineral rights. You will only be paid after the well has been completely paid off. You will be considered a working partner and as such, will have to pay a portion of the operation cost. Some say that as soon as one well is finished the O&G company will start another one, so they can tie your royalty up. You will really never collect 100%. Of course, if the well in your unit is dry, this is all moot.
There are people that can better explain this. I am learning as I go. It is true, you never get too old to learn. Now if you need a recipe for chocolate cookies, I'm your gal!!

Hi Cathy, hope you are having a great day. I was wondering if the antique store would like to become a GoHaynesvilleShale sponsor? Thank you.

hey, this is Philip. I talked to you on the phone a few days ago. Want to let you know my dad and I went to the place on blanchard-shreveport hwy where Castellano was signing people. It was utter chaos. People shouting and moving all over, trying to sign for their $15,250. We decided not to get involved with that mess, so we'll be coming to the meeting tomorrow. Is it still at 5:30 on the hwy with balloons in front? Thanks.

Philip Bradbury

Philip,
Both you and your Dad are wise not to get involved with this slick fellow! Our meeting is still on tomorrow at 5:30. The address is 5851 Shreveport-Blanchard Hwy. You will be more than welcomed. We look forward to seeing you there.
Cathy

Any meetings in our area this weekend? Blanchard /Mooringsport/Longwood

Hey Coonman,
No meetings this weekend that I am aware of. We will be meeting again in about 9 days. I will let you know when the next one is scheduled. We met with an O&G attorney last night. He was very informative and now we know what to expect in our up-coming negotiations. We have all agreed to take it slow and easy. It is a learning process and the more that we learn, the better prepared we will be when it comes time to start earnest negotiations.

I sent you an email

I sent you a reply. Try to attend tonight. It may be another shady Arnie C. deal but it bears listening to for yourself.

Hey Cathy- My husband and I are interested in joining your coalition. We did not sign with Twin Cities for the $8750 an acre. We really wanted to get the lease changed and they wouldn't do it. One of our main concerns is we want 25% royalties before expenses. We have a copy of a lease that was negotiated from Arlington, Texas by SEACTX (South East Arlington Community) www.seactx.org. This is the overview of the deal:
Signing bonus: 26,517 per acre
Royalties:26.5% no expenses
Thank you for heading this up!!!
Please send us info regarding future meetings. We can do this if we all work together!Thanks-Shannon

Shannon,
We would be pleased to welcome you into our fold! Please feel free to email me at cdwhauser@hotmail.com. We can either talk that way or in the email I will give you my telephone number. Feel free to contact me. I will tell you everything that I know and maybe even something that I don't know!!!

Cathy did you happen to get one of those contracts from that agent? it says 180 days for the contract to be dead... if you refuse to take the offer they nego and say you find a better deal elsewhere you still have to pay them on your other deal... I got one at home

I don't have one on hand. Saturday, my phone started ringing off of the wall. The ones that do have a contract called to let me know of everything that was in the contract. I have a call into Ricky Lennard right now. I want some answers. You heard him as well as I. He explicitly said if we want to walk away at anytime, we could and not pay a penny. He also said there was no claim on the royalty. There are a lot of discrepancies. I for one will not sign with anyone that tells me one thing to my face knowing full well that the contract says the opposite. I haven't gotten this old or ugly for nothing!

sent you an e-mail

Thank you very much for your post.

has you meeting started?

has you meeting started?

has you meeting started?

Cat, do u know any results of meeting at Trinity Hgts. BaptisT church Thurs. nite?

Thx for the info whether it is 2nd, 3rd, or 4th...based on comments by others it may be in my section...I totally agree w/ ur remark....doubt they'll have 90%.

Cathy,

I'm Sharon Bryant's brother-in-law (Sterling's brother). I'm tracking this shale from Texas and through Sharon and Sterling. Have you heard anymore from Jeff Williamson of BMNW Resources? Their offices are in Dallas, so I called them. They said that Jeff was the main contact for the HS. Thanks.

Cathy,

Thanks for the info. I've still got the offer on the table from EXCO (deadline is 8/28). I want to be patient and careful how I communicate with the other landmen (and landwomen). I sent an "intro" email to Julie last night, and she replied that she was going to run our township/range/section info by her bosses and get back with me early next week. I believe Sharon had talked to Jeff and was supposed to hear something yesterday, but I haven't heard from Sharon, yet. I guess it's all a game. :-)

Charles
