Section 7

Some of us remain unleased in section 8 (our property is 8-8-10). What's your advice?

Patience. The spread of the play is inhibited by low gas prices and operators with existing leasehold that must be drilled. There is only one HA drilling unit in township 8N - 10W currently. The first sign of development interest will be unit applications. Then the first well permits. I'd expect to see both of those events later this year probably in the third or fourth quarter.

My information is that drilling is occuring in 8-10-10 where relative owns property. May want to negotiate a lease, but do not live in the area and not familiar with leasing market rates. Any help about going royalty rates and bonus money would be appreciated. Thanks all.

JP, you should be able to get a 25% royalty rate. I will let others comment on bonus levels.
