The north west portion of cross lake was leased 6-11-08 by CHK. These state leases can be found on Sonris (acquired by Manna) and encompass over two thousand acres of the lake at $14,500/ac and over $28 million in lease bonus. These leases are for one year with a rental option for succeeding years of 50% of the lease bonus. I would expect drilling activity within the year to HBP.
The State leases are for a Three year primary term; however it is standard for a state lease to include a "delay rental". If no prodution or drilling activity has occurred then the rental is due to maintain the lease.
