Thanks, Gerald.  Appears neither Mr. James nor the firm has any experience practicing O&G law.  That's what concerns me as I suspect that case law is on the side of MRD.  In addition to a formal complaint to the Commissioner I think that lessors under MRD wells that are completed for 120 or more days and have not yet received royalty should be building a case for interest on the amounts owed once they are paid.  I also suspect that back payment will be made long before a court date is set for this suit.

MRD/Wildhorse has an excellent reputation in North LA

That's what I have heard also.  That's why this seems somewhat odd.  Especially in light of the transition that is currently taking place with the change of operator.  The suit seems premature and the premise for relief weak.

I maintain silence on GHS due to my lack of intelligent input that I have to offer. I greatly appreciate the enlightening information Skip Peel provides to GHS therefore I read daily the information offered by Skip and others. This topic, on the other hand, I am compelled to speak up on due to the lawsuit filed by Chris Bowman names Hunter Resources in the Suit. I am a land owner in section 1-18-4 and have had frequent dealings with MRD. My (Landman) representative of MRD is Hunter Resources. As a landowner, I have had very favorable business dealings with Hunter Resources and anticipate nothing less in the future. Hunter Resources was forthright in all transactions between MRD and my interest. I have heard frequent reports from neighbors experiencing overdue royalty payments (Beyond 90 days follow production) from MRD but fail to see how Hunter Resources should be held accountable. It has come to my attention that Chris Bowman is seeking support from landowners in the area to support his agenda. Chris will not get my support as long as Hunter Resources’ is named in the suit. I agree with Skip on this issue, if MRD is failing to follow a said agreement in a lease (or rule set by the state) on timely royalty disbursements, I’m glad a royalty owner is speaking out. My objection is, we need not drag a company like Hunter Resources into the suit. Being innocent of allegations levied against Hunter Resources still cost the company in legal representation and, in some peoples mind, a presumption of guilt.

Lucky you have this one figured out.

Lucky for all of us.

I couldn't agree more. Hunter Resources has been nothing but professional. I certainly think Hunter Resources is being dragged through the MRD mud.

I've received some off site contacts from Ruston area associates who corroborate some of the allegations in the suit.  By the way they share the opinion regarding Hunter Temple (Hunter Temple Resources).  I would like to get more input from members who are MRD lessors and I think the way to do that is to start a new discussion in the Lincoln Parish Group.  I'll start one and invite those in this discussion to participate.

Chris can you post a link to the suit in the new discussion?  I can't link it from your discussion reply.

what is Hunter Resources?  The lawsuit says coercion.  Strong statement.

Since our discussion is now focused on a subject other than the one contained in the title, I will close it and request further comments be posted in the Lincoln Parish discussion.
