It seems we have a new entity to know in town, seems very similar to the carpetbaggers we have become familiar with associated in the coal and timber industries.

My sister was approached by a 'land agent' for Gulfland Appalachian Energy

( President Ashley Elizabeth Gremillion:  registered 1 yr 4 mo ago, located beside the US Corps of engineers ofc in Louisa, KY)

Gulfland Appalachian  Energy  is associated with Gulf Land and Seismic / or Gulf Land & Seismic LLC registered 2 yr, 4 mo ago and based at 5859 Vicksburg St New Orleans, LA 70124

The land agent presented a card which also references Cimarex, a Multitude of co named Cimarex are located in TX, OK and CO... Cimarex also registered in Frankfort within the last 2 years... A Cimarex co worked with UK and KY geological survey for a report dated April 24, 2013, which featured Lawrence and Johnson Counties in E KY.

The land agent indicated to my sister that a landowner ( an elderly widow) nearby to our family property had already signed with his co.

I would be most interested in

1) Educating myself and family on the oil/gas/lease/royalty situation and determining quality trustworthy players

2) getting a KY landowner group organized to challenge carpetbagger practices which may arise

Thanks so much
