Halcon request for I-9, NW Mercer County, PA

We received a letter in the mail yesteday from Halcon requesting vendor information and completion of an I-9.  We live in northwestern Mercer County.  Anyone know what this means?  We are within 5-6 miles of two of the Halcon wells but we have no infrastructure in to get gas out, so I assumed we wouldn't see much more activity until the pipeline is in. So much speculation, but its all pretty much an unknown.

Got the same letter from Halcon and my lease was sold to shell last fall? Can't figure this out either.

Do you have water they would like to purchase or property they would like to rent for lay down yard for working on the pipeline? Near us they seem to have rented various properties along the pipeline ... not always large ones for lay down yards and access road to get to the pipeline from many landowners.  Maybe they got the cart before the horse and sent you the papers before a rep actually spoke to you.

I would give them a call or send an email and ask them what's up with this paperwork you sent.  They ... in our case Chesapeake ... have been very responsive to us with any questions we have.  We have called and sent emails on a couple of occasions about paperwork, our road falling apart, etc.  We call the local office in Canton not Oklahoma.  I am sure Halcon has a local office somewhere around here too!

I-9 form is for employee qualification verification.  Did some one apply for a job?  Could be it was sent to you by mistake. ID theft comes to mind also.  Call them to see what is up.

I agree but if you were to become a vendor as an individual rather then a company or government entity ... by providing them with property or water and they were paying you ... they might need to do I-9's for individuals they are paying.  The average person they are renting property from or buying water from is not in business so their employment eligibility has not verified.  They have no EIN etc.  And if they are paid over $600 then there will be 1099's etc.

If they the oil company hired a company say to drill or do a pipeline or even to provide food then they would pay that company who would pay it's employees and who would have verified their employment eligibility.

I agree it was probably a mistake ... wrong packet to wrong person but if pipeline is coming to the area who knows.

Calls and e-mails to Halcon have not brought a response from the person whose contact information was on the letter.  I am guessing it was sent in error as the individual's mailbox is full and they are no longer taking messages.
