The July 2008 State Mineral auction included 7 tracts in S. Caddo Parish that received winning bids of $30,212.00 per acre bonus and a royalty of 30%. Theophilus Oil, Land & Gas was the successful bidder on behalf of Chesapeake Energy.
Skip I am kind of fuzzy on what I remember but wasn't this a rental lease that the second year rental would have to be 1/2 the bonus?
Yep. A lot of money for a one year lease term. Tract 39963 was the largest at 178.17 acres and the lease bonus was $5,382,872.04 and the rental $2,691,436.02.
If I rember correctly the second year rental was not paid?
It's CHK's core. It got drilled.
