ALOV and Northern Trumbull County- Updated Discussion to include BP Lessor's and Bonus money Payment's

Hello all!

 I have been doing a little research and speaking with friends and neighbors about forming a group to address the needs of those of us not yet represented by a landowners group.

This led me to call ALOV after hearing that they had accepted some acreage in Trumbull county.

I paid little attention to ALOV earlier as their website did not list Trumbull county as an area of interest, although the work they were doing was certainly of great interest to me.

 From what i gather there was a cut-off of June 30 for sign-up with ALOV, they extended that and also had a meeting at RD banks Chevy in Champion. This may not be news to some of you, but i had not come across the posting until after. The word i got from an individual at ALOV was that Chesapeake set a northern geographical cut-off in Trumbull county of St.Rt.88, again this may not be a newsworthy flash to some. Many landowners attended, more than expected according again to a source at ALOV, and signed up their acreage.

Now heres the news, ALOV has agreed to start a "Waiting List" of still more interested parties from areas north of St.Rt.88. If you call them with name, address and phone number they will put you on the list, and depending on level of interest, they may choose to represent us as a group in a similiar fashion, with the same or even better terms to Chesapeake, or another interested party.

So call up ALOV, their number is listed on their site www.alov.us , and ask to be included in their next go around. From where i stand why re-invent the wheel, they already have done the groundwork and have the attention of the industry on favorable terms, lets ask them to either start another "Pool" to include us, or come work with us to the same end.

If you have information to share, please join in the discussion, Thanks 

 Hello again to all my fellow Utica Shale Owners. I Just stopped in to ask if there were any who signed with BP from the ALOV Northern Trumbull county group, that resulted from these efforts, still around.

Has anyone had any conversations/correspondence from BP concerning title defects, or other issues that would delay payment or affect your lease, or gotten a check for Bonus money?

Received title defect notice for mortgage that was paid 6 years ago???? Sent copy of the recorded Certificate of Satisfaction of the mortgage that was also recorded 6 years ago back to BP so we'll see what happens, needless to say not happy considering in my opinion we never should've received the defect in the first place

Debby Melvin, I hope you will get it today, think positive.

Thanks....I'm a little worried.  I just can't figure out why I haven't heard anything, good news or bad.

Well, only today and tomorrow left to worry about whether I'm getting a check or a letter.  This has been a nerve wracking time for me.  I don't know what to do if, at the end of the day on Monday, that I haven't heard a word from BP.  Just don't understand it...I only have 28 acres so it isn't like it's a huge amount of money.

Debby, Are you 100 percent sure you are not HBP.  Are there any clinton wells near you ? Have you checked the recorders office. Good luck!!!

Craig, I did check all the various places I could find and to the best of my knowledge there are no wells anyplace near me, and I've lived here for 32 years.  I guess it's always possible that there is something going on that happened way before my time so I will wait and see.

Debby, I think it is safe to say we are pulling for you. My sister is still waiting for an answer also, so don't think that you are alone. I'm sure BP and FedEx have had a massive amount of work to do in a very short period of time. I ended up with a title defect letter, but I am treating it as only a delay. There are other avenues to success available, and a lot of good advice on this board. If you get a negative first response from BP, hit the floor running, get some good advice, and fight the good fight. BP has been writing a lot of checks, and I hope yours is on its way. If you do get a title defect letter, treat it as a problem that needs fixed, and focus on resolving it. The waiting and not knowing is the worst part of all of this, but so far BP has seemed (to me) to be living up to their word. I hope your answer comes soon.

DM...these are exactly my same thoughts.  I will fight the good fight to get any problems cleared up because that's just my personality!  But it's good to know that there are still people out there (besides myself) that are still waiting.

Debby - you might want to search the recorder's site. From what I can see, it looks like you are under lease.

I'm not referring to her BP lease.  I'm referring to Lease Assignment recorded 05/04/12 referencing a 1980 lease for 20 acres

Fang, You may want to get a eye examination.

Fang, Dont know why that was ever recorded(the lease assignment , NO WELL, NO LEASE!!!  I have seen this happen to a few other folks also.
