They are documents between the various working interest owners in the well and have nothing whatsoever to do with landowners, nor are they impacted by it.  A JOA (Joint Operating Agreement) governs the relationships between the various working interest owners.  The Financing Statement part of it merely provides that each of the parties own their own rights to their own share of gas and the proceeds attributable to the sale... regardless of whether or not the operator sells the gas on behalf of all parties.  That way a lender to one of the parties cannot encumber the interests or the monies due and owing to one of the other working interest owners.
