It is a simple matter to determine if a company "operates". Drills wells. Go to SONRIS Lite. Search under "Wells By Organization Name". No wells. No drill. You can also go the the Secretary of State's website, click on "Commercial Division", scroll down and click search and see if a company is registered to do business in LA.

Yeah, I'd like to hear from anyone who knows them also. I know quite a few but Family Tree doesn't ring a bell. But then again it is interesting to see when companies registered with the Secretary of State. It is amazing just how many have done so since the spring of '08. And they just keep coming. You'll see an ad or view a website and then discover that the company didn't exist before the Haynesville Shale. Hummm?

They're active in Shelby County, Texas... at least in leasing. I haven't heard of any drilling activity.

Not in good standing with the Secretary of State Comptroller of Texas

http://ecpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/Index.html

Good site to check entities
(Also I put Family Tree Corp in drillinginfo..their "leases" are recent..it appears they are leasing what they can get in "hot" areas..to then assign to the big guys permitting and drilling
Hope this helps
