Is Cheasapeake getting away with not paying bonus on signed Leases? If this is true? Is anyone suing them for breach of contract?

I have been on this site reading how Cheasapeake has not paid on so many leases that were signed. La. law says if there is an offer and accepetence then you have a binding contract.
Is anyone suing them or are they getting away with this? If this is true?

Well it didn't happen, but they are still dreaming, they will get them next time.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
