I own about 20 acres in S4 T13N R9W and an existing lease is going to expire in June.  I don't live in LA and I don't know much about mineral leasing, but I'm not going into the next lease blind like I did the last one.  Does anyone have a few words of advice regarding typical lease per acre amounts and options for negotiations with the mineral companies.

Phillip, sorry to break the news but it may be a moot point. EnCana has spud a well in your section that will likely result in all acreage being held by production.

Thank's for your response Les. Obviously not what I wanted to hear.

What is the difference between a lease and a bonus?
Phillip,
A lease is the contract that you and the gas company signed. It spells out the rules by which they may develop your mineral rights and sell the gas.

A bonus is the money the gas company paid you at the time you signed your lease. It is a one-time payment.

Once gas is sold, you will receive a royalty payment. The lease that you signed will stipulate your royalty rate.
Thanks Henry, I guess I should read up...
