good morning aubrey, i was looking for your HELP SAVE OUR GULF AND ITS BEACHES discussion. i had a couple of ideas as well as i had read about others having the same trouble as you... getting your ideas considered. i wonder if contacting a news agency to do an expose on BP's unwillingness to consider outside help and ideas would garner any attention. BTW- actor kevin costner went before congress yesterday to pitch some kind of a water cleaning machine he has. i guess if you were a movie star aubrey... just kidding, kind of. let me know where the discussion is and i will post there.

Aubrey,
Look forward to knowing ya too. Thanks for accepting my friendship.

Hi Aubrey,

Looks like King John has the same thoughts on GOM problems. Solutions from unlikely sources. The tragedy of the spill may lead to all sorts of innovations. Glad there are people like you who listen to ideas from people who aren't necessarily knowledgeable in the field. I guess you never know what might spark a great idea.

Hi I would like to know if you could help me? I own land in in Leon county Texas but live in Fl. I pay my taxes etc. I see that they are about 5 miles from centerville TX Drilling can you help me find out more. Any help would be highly appreciated Phil

Thank you for the link to EOG..thats a great start to my experience here on my journey for information!

Hello Aubrey...I live in Prescott and its hard to understand after signing the lease and finding out we could have held out a little longer. After looking around this site it seems like we needed a lawyer before signing. Ive never been to Texas but the mineral rights have been in the family forever. San Augustine......Z Redmond Survey A-36 is what the location is.How does this work? I signed lease...EOG paid 200 or so an acre......only 43.5 ac..then ..nothing....how do i know if they have started any work on the property? ughh, Thanks for understanding. :)

Happy Birthday Mr. Sanders!
Hope you have a great one.

Hi Aubrey,

Thanks for your comments! The Packards are gorgeous cars, I have seen some real beauties at auctions. Do you remember the model of yours?

The Studebakers are interesting cars too. I just saw a 58 Packard Hawk, rare car, only 588 made! Was based on the Studebaker Golden Hawk, but supercharged!

I have not been to the Barrett Jackson auction in AZ, but I am going to the one in Vegas in Oct. I am excited about that!

I agree about hiring an attorney for the gas lease, gads, it was complicated! I never sign anything I don't understand!

Hi Aubrey,

I haven't seen you on-line in a while. Just wanted to drop by and say "hi". I hope everything is going well for you. My son and I ate at Superior the other day and it made me think about your visit. I hadn't ever been there before that even though I've lived here for almost 20 years.

Hey Aubrey! I haven't been on here in months! Have you heard of anything in Columbia Co., Ark? Christopher Smith contacted me the other day, making it sound like I was the only one who have not sent in the lease. I told him I wanted the 25% RI and not the 1/16 RI plus 1/8 OR. He said they couldn't afford to do that and told me good luck.

Hi Aubrey,

Just saw you were on line and wanted to say "hi". I hope things have been going well for you.

Guess you're about to hit La. in a couple of days. Driving or flying? If you get a chance, see if you're interested in Leasing from me. I don't know if there's any activity there, but Hunter says he has about 80% of the leases. I don't know if I believe him or not.
Do you know an Alan Riddle from Atlanta Exploration? I was given his name to see if anything was going on in Columbia Co., Ark.

Just dropping by to say hello. Have one "shale" of a day. Also, there some new profile questions. Check those out by clicking HERE. We are also coming up on our 10,000th member. Be sure to celebrate with me. Click HERE for more about that.

I guess you couldn't help, but get caught up in the Super Bowl excitement there!! I can only imagine since Iived there during the "Suns" big days! We loved all the hype!

Well, Mardi Gras rolls the end of Feb. (the 24th) this year. Ergo, the "blues" probably -- probably -- won't set in until after Fat Tuesday, cher.

I have not been on site for a while, so I have got some catching up to do. I have been remise in not thanking all of you who were at our little get together a few months back. I do appreciate the kind comments and would like meet again sometimes. Thanks to all of you who made this happen last time.

I plan to be in Springhill area for about 2 weeks starting on 2/18.
Perhaps I will see some of you then.

Have I lost my mind coming to LA in Feb?

Thank you for your response. Boy, I have caused a stir posting that "Is it legal but not ethical or what?" http://www.gohaynesvilleshale.com/forum/topics/is-it-legal-but-not-ethical-or?x=1&id=2117179%3ATopic%3A255346&page=2#comments I don't have the rights to sign on behalf of all the royalty interest owners, we are each contacted separately by the landman. I believe it was proposed to him from someone he approached to lease it this way. He (Landman) agreed. When I asked him about it he didn't know after I found out it was illegal in Texas, he didn't know. Either way, I'm not going to sign the Assignment of Override and just deal with him on the Oil and Gas Lease. I'll send you an invite so I can e-mail you the location and landman. Thanks!

Aubrey, if we do not own 100% mineral rights, but are executors to lease, then is this scenario legal: Arkansas/We were offered 1/8th RI and then an Assignment of 1/16 Override. That would give us more revenue, but it would cheat the non-participants out of revenue. Is this practiced in Ark. and is it legal? In Texas, the non-participants can sue the executors of the mineral rights over this. I hope I have explained it correctly, this is how I understood it. Thanks!
