"Did you ever get a contact for Hess or any info on companies leasing in Harrison county. Billy Bob     Did my sister Sue ever get with you?"

"I remember hearing about this accident earlier last year, but I didn't know Ralph McAfee.  Did your sister, Sue, graduate from Cadiz High School in 1968?  If so, she was in my HS graduation class."

"William, from the way you have posed your question, I'm inferring that you are very unfamiliar with the whole gas leasing issue in Harrison County.  Although 1-1/2 ac is not very much land, it does have the potential to provide some income…"

"Our family gave this a lot of thought and finally decided to agree to the testing at the $10/ac rate, but so far, they have not tested (Harrison Co., Archer Twp). Global's base document is, indeed, pretty weak as far as landowner protections,…"

Billy Bob Meeker replied to Frank Nesmith's discussion 'Chesapeake renegotiates leases'
"I guess that I'm not surprised.  Despite Ken and Steves' attempts to put a  positive spin on O&G company attitudes, they remain cut-throat organizations that have no concerns about tramping all over the landowners to get what…"

"I offer this suggestion for anyone being approached by CHK to increase their unit size from, say 640 to 1280: Since others above claim that this request for a contract change reflects improvements in drilling technology, then one can assume that an…"

"ken & Steve, There may be a few O&G folks that have a shred of decency, but I certainly remember how this all began in Harrison County, OH, two years ago.  Kenyon Energy shotgunned mailings to every Harrison Co. landowner offering them…"

"Gary, See my March 23 posting in this thread regarding my suggestion of trying to negotiate a renewable ROW "lease" rather than a one-time payment."

Billy Bob Meeker replied to Marcus Grayson's discussion 'Meditations on CHK's future' in the group Ohio Landowners
"Yes, you are correct, Marcus, it does make a difference ... but, I tend to get very cynical when it comes to the subject of the operator's performance.  Unfortunately, we, the landowners, have no say in who may take over Chesapeake's…"

"This is a good question!!  I've heard others say they have also been approached to increase the allowable unit size.  I don't know the pros and cons, BUT ... bear in mind that if they increase the unit size they can drill fewer…"

Billy Bob Meeker replied to Lisa Johnston's discussion 'Pipeline contract questions' in the group Ohio Landowners
"Again, I suggest that landowners being approached for a pipeline ROW consider demanding a renewable "right-of-way easement" rather than a one-time payment for a "forever" ROW.  See my posting above near the beginning of this…"

"I don't trust any of the drilling companies so it doesn't matter to me whose name is on the lease.  They will do whatever they can to take advantage of the landowner to maximize their profit.  If this were not so, then we would…"

Billy Bob Meeker replied to Lisa Johnston's discussion 'Pipeline contract questions' in the group Ohio Landowners
"As of mid-March 2012, the current easement payment being discussed by the pipeline agents in Harrison Co., OH, is a one-time $15/linear foot.  Using a ROW width of 50', and 43,560 sq.ft./acre, this would be a strip of land 871 ft. long.…"

"Find a lawyer who has dealt with these producers and let them make contact.  It's the easiest way to get a deal done and you don't have to do any of the heavy lifting."
