Does anyone know of any company actively leasing in Franklin Twp? We are about 1000 ft N of the  proposed entry point. We were offered and accepted $5200.00 per acre plus 18.75% from Hess. When Hess did the deed research they voided the contract saying our parcel was held by production. This was in June 2012. In Oct 2011 the party that did a lease with Atlas in 1972 filed an affidavit of non-compliance as they were not being paid any royalties. I believe this cleared our property from the held by production issue. Hess's landman says we are cleared but says they are no longer leasing in this area. It appears that Hess thinks it will be a productive well; they cancelled the permit for the pilot well

Dear Mr. Opritza,
HESS Ohio Developments, LLC respectfully submits the following request for cancellation of the
approved permit for the above referenced well in Franklin Township, Harrison County. Based on our
cunent offset data, we have a high enough confidence in the geologyto drill the horizontal well in the
Point Pleasant without a pilot hole.

If anyone has any leads it would be very much appreciated. We are a small group of neighbors with only about 8.5 acres...small fish in a big pond.
