Master Minerals has been buying - outright - O & G interests, not leasing...please be careful.  Sale may be a good result for you, just be fully aware if their offer is for a sale or a lease.

Hey, Keith, we recently were contacted by a corp from Denver, CO...offering to buy us out of our Chief lease for several hundred less per acre than r five yr lease with Chief (our lease has 5 yr renewal clause @ Chief when it expires next summer). We turned them down, but wondered if anyone else has heard from this company, AGEIS? Our property is 7+ acres in Overton twp, Bradford Cty and we have forecast thru research - no prospective well/pipeline activity.... anybody have comments????

Hey Tina and anyone else reviewing leases and have not signed one yet....PLS find out what  a Pugh clause is and include one in your contract.   Mine doesn't have one and recently I discovered that the O & G company  has used a few acres to hold all the acreage....what does that mean?...it means they extend the 5 year term beyond without paying a renewal fee...a real cruel way to treat the landowner who was unaware of what 'units' are or what 'pooling' means.   We can only hope that NG is found and is productive in the units they placed some of our acreage in...for unless there is a legal way to get our land free of being encumbered in an extension of the five years without a bonus again paid then we are stuck with the contract as is.   I was even told by the lady with the O & G just yesterday...too bad you didn't negotiate putting a 'pugh clause' in the contract.   heck, I didn't know what that was...and why didn't they just include one since they knew that they were offering an unreasonable situation for the landowner?   so read about the Pugh clause and do look at your gross vs. net on the royalty , etc.   These clauses are very important and many of the O & G companies (if not all) are using old contract styles and addendums have to be drawn up as they have not presented realistic reasonable offers with the old main contract forms.   A regular attorney who hasn't handled O & G or ROW agreements most likely couldn't do as well as one that has a history of doing such..   Learn enough at this forum at gomarcellusshale to be able to identify/discern  if the atty. you select knows what they are doing...for having an atty or a wise counselor in handling of the contract is well recommended.

Thank VG

I would have never gave this a second thought.   I am hearing of course, hearing couselor handling is very costly and finding the right person who is not going to take you in the wrong direction.
