Recently contacted by land developer in Greene Twp.. Help!!

My wife and I have recently been contacted by a land developer company to sign a gas lease. We own 3 acres of land in Greene Township. Curious, we contacted this developer and a man came  to our home with a contract in hand. It offered $2k/acre and 1/8th royalties as a 7 year lease. We thanked him and said we'd look it over and contact him. We have been trying our best to do as much research as possible before we decide which direction to go in. Can anyone give us some guidance?

$2k/acre and 1/8th is low, even for three acres.  Since CHK is the most active operator in Mahoning County you ought to get on board with them if that are willing to give you better terms.  What was the name of the company that contacted you?

We have talked to one neighbor- they've been contacted by same man and haven't signed yet- don't know about other neighbors yet. We are not near Western reserve well, we are more near Columbiana County.

Best advise I've seen on this forum.
