Please look at the DeSoto Parish Griffith 11 well discussion (Desoto Parish Decline Rates, Specifically Griffith 11). I posted a link to two slides from Southern Star that have data on Griffith 11. Can you interpret these slides?
It's Chris (herefordsnshale) I was asking about that because that is an issue with my lease. My wife did not sign the lease in 2006. When we refinanced and communitized the property in both our names the bank did not file a new deed and the landman went by the original deed when I first bought the land, I was single at the time. I didn't know this was an issue until recently. So does it look to you like I could force the company to re-do the lease? I was only planning to play that card if they re-leased my neighbors this fall. My lease still has another year to go. If they re-lease the others then drill before my lease is up I miss out on the bonus money--plus I'm stuck with the low royalty. I was just wondering how much leverage I might have to get them to renew early. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.
Here's how it went: I originally bought a 50 acre tract in 1994. I got married in 2003, in 2004 we decided to build a house so we surveyed off 10 acres of the 50 and used the equity for a down payment and refinanced the balance on the remaining 40 acres, it then went into both our names. The mineral lease was signed in 2006. The only recorded deed is the original one from 1994. If they drill a well or drop the lease I don't plan to say anything. I was only thinking of bringing the issue up if they choose to renew the lease.
Hi Jay, I didn't know the issue was going to be quite as big a can of worms as it is. It looks like the sticking point is whether the property is actyally communitized, I would think it was since both out names are on the mortgage. But like I said it may well we a moot point, I hope it is. I still believe if Petrohawk wants to keep the lease they will drill it before it expires, if that happens I won't say anything.
It looks like there may not be any need to worry about the community property issue. I just found out yesterday Petrohawk has already lost IP's acreage in the section (440 acres). They didn'y pay the delay rentals and IP has already leased to Chesapeake. So it's likely Chesapeake will make a play for the rest of the section once the leases start expiring this fall. Hopefully the NG price will not tank before then!
It's "Four In The Mornin" (with apologies to Faron Young who sang the song) and I have nothing better to do, so I'll throw another "Uncle Earl" truism at ya': ". . . there's more than one way to kill a cat than stufffin' him full of buttermilk! . . ." (whatever that means)
Have you ever read A.J. Liebling's book "Socks on a Rooster"? Funny as all get-out. Or, better yet, get a copy of the old LP "Red-Hot Papa", I believe is the name. It's a classic around B.R.
Jay-
Great to talk to you. New to this site and it is cool. Finished a job last week and looking. Any ideas?
Call me, be great to talk to you. I want to tell you about another site.
