craig replied to Lance Nimmo's discussion 'Shell is backing out of leases in eastern Lawrence County'"By your thought process, then the landowner would be able to back out as well since as you state "it is not binding".

craig replied to Dr. Larry A. Maxwell's discussion 'What Happens When Other Company Drills Across Our Land?' in the group Bradford County, PA"Seismic and thermal maps are just that, indicators. Actual drilling could show something completely different. The second sentence proves once again the old adage "Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do."

craig replied to Harold L. Miller II's discussion 'the back and forth of the lease game'"Alan,
I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say this, especially before much drilling was happening in the area. Pretty broad generalization on your part.
In some circumstances it is relatively easy to know what your oil/gas rights…"

craig replied to Jim Shoos's discussion 'How and Why you get left out of a drilling unit'"Jim,
I believe it might actually be easy to prove where the well bore is. The company will have the coordinates on file. Surely those records could be accessed through the courts somehow, but I'm not a lawyer.

- Craig, I need your help again.... Our group offered us from Chesapeake $2,350.00 and 15% gross BUT with a 5 year contract and another 5 YEAR OPTION. The $$ is fine but I do not like the Option. I would much rather they take more $$ off the bonus and forget the option. Another attourney said he could get me $2,015.00 and 15% gross and a straight 5 year contract with no option. I am in Hookstown, PA. 15050. My present lease will be up Sept. 15th of this year with Great Lakes (Range) The group said this would be no problem ? HELP ?

- Hello again Craig, Thank you !! Again....You have answered my question with 100 % understanding ! Now, I also understand what a "unit" is. I am so glad I joined this group and found you with a "fountain of information" ! I feel like a little sponge.... I want to learn more and more. I find this so very interesting. You are truely wonderful ! Thank you, Nancy....from Hookstown.

Hello Craig, This is Nancy in Hookstown. Thank you so very much for the information you have sent. I have signed up with the Mount Jackson group and my 76 acres in Hookstown plus my 3 acres in Clinton are under negotiations. I was told I would know something by the end of May. That is also when my contract is up with the group, but if I don't send a letter to them they will extend me for another 6 months. My question was... let me try to get this right? Is there a difference in the royalties $ if the well is on my property verses on someone elses ? I prefer the well...NOT... be on my property. I have so much to learn ...... Thanks to friends like you.... I am learning much faster !! Again... THANK YOU !! Nancy

Sherry said… - Ah, I should have read your original post a little better, as you did say "newer". Alas, maybe my husband will graduate up to one some day! His friend drills on a 430 model, and that rig was NICE! Like I said, maybe one day. Take care and Good Luck - here's hoping for some nice production numbers for you!
