Payment cancelled by Shell

Has anyone else had this happen? The title to my property had no deficits (according to the Cambridge Office). I called Amegy bank today to see when the check would be sent and I was told that it was “cancelled per land department directive”.

I called Shell in Cambridge and they have no idea what is going on. Any thoughts?

thats what i am told. i called bruce dondzilla at holland after i called amegy and he said the process goes from them to somewhere in fort worth for abstract and review, goes back to holland for either fix up or approval and final step is down to shell. i am at the final step with shell. i have gone through the recording, abstract, review, sign off, now the final review and sign off with shell.

Tom,

Was you a part of the Original Shell Landowner group?  If so, how many acres do you have? And what township you live in?

Sean,

I see that your lease expired on April 20th.....  I am not sure why you think this is a bad deal...  I have been told that they have a backlog and that they are waiting until the last day to cut the check.  Have you called Amergy?

I totally agree you should have been paid by now....I would call Amegy bank to see if they paid the draft.  I would contact your landman from shell and ask him to make some calls and find out the status of your lease.   Can you let us know how this process goes?  My draft expires May 15th, and I would like to know what to expect...I know there are a lot of others holding these drafts.  Again, I was told to expect a check to go to my bank via us mail within 10 days of the expiration of the draft.

You could wait 10 days, or get a release & sign with someone else & wait another 5/6 months. I still think if you wait a year,you could sign for much more! The wells that are close & coming online are called "prolific"
