Good Lease/Bad Lease

Was wondering if you could help me.  A friend of mine signed a gas lease approximately 2 years ago individually but their property has been in a Partnership for 30 years.  Is this a good lease or a bad lease? Could this be a way for the company to force pool?  Total acreage is about 400 acres.

Not enough information to say. Was the individual a partner who had athority to sign? Were the minerals still with the surface? What State?

Also would need to see the lease.

If he had the ability to sign on behalf of the partnership, There is a good chance the lease is valid. If I was the one who bought the lease, I would want a ratification by the partnership.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
