Here's the bottom line: you sign the lease that offers you the best terms, rates and payments.  If those all come from a company that is going to flip your lease do you really care?  Someone will eventually own your lease and will have operational responsibility.  Does that matter to you if you got a great deal?

Who owns your mortgage?  Not the bank that originated it, who owns it today?  Odds are you don't know.  I make my monthly payment, rain or shine and I don't give a damn who ends up with the money because I got what I wanted in the original contract.

John,always check out any company you deal with.  Make sure they have the financial ability to pay and their past history in the area.  Are they going to pay the upfront money or try to flip it first.  Get a 90 day payment deadline or less tomake sure you dont getlock out for too long if the deal dont work.  I personally wouldnt sign with anyone who dont have the ability to drill a well theirself . Go with a known oil company.
