Clean up?

Yes, most older leases have some restrictions that will need to be waived to form the necessary parcel sizes for drlling.

I wonder if they are going to throw us a bone to amend the old leases?

Yes, if we form a unified group along the lines of ALOV. Definitely no, if we talk to them individually. They will dictate the terms. Our only rights will be equal to or less than our outdated leases allow. Normally no bonus, and 12.5% royalty. They have absolutely no reason to increase our lease terms and conditions for our benefit. I would like to see a reasonable bonus and an increased royalty. Individually we are like a single soldier fighting an entire army. That may be honorable, but the result won’t be good.

You are correct Sage59. I believe that we should get the Lordstown Landowners Group started ASAP. I believe that Halcon paid NCL a premium, with no residual royalties for a reason. They knew that they would probably need to retain some inducements for negotiating waivers with the Lessor's holding these antiquated mineral leases.

I am sure they are monitoring this site so we should limit our discussions, as of now, and  organize a meeting of all the locals.
