Here is the area for questions about leases. Mind you the information you hear should not be considered as legal advise but it will possibly shape a better session with an attorney if you have some basic knowledge about a lease. By all means, in the amount of money one may make in this shale play legal advice is worth its weight providing that attorney is working for you.

What is the royalty percentage?
Better yet Ron what is the whole deal? Length of lease, royalty, pooling limitations, shut in fees, gross or net, depth restrictions, right of ways upon pipe lines ect? Remember in one year Nobel County saw a lease offer of like $50/acre at 12.5% and now it is $5,900 at 20%
10% gross? using the GOMS calculator using 400 acres at 10% on oil alone on your 26 acres with say 800bbl/day at $102 =$193,596 for a year. Now at current offers at 20% royalty it would be $387,192 for the year!
I hear of landowners saying they sure as H will not pay a attorney landowners group any of their royalty, why would you let a flipper take 10%?
My opinion is BAD BAD DEAL!
Lets run the figures like I just did but use a average of what the production releases indicate which will be posted today and see what we might be looking at.
Another way to look at it Ron if they gave you say $5000 per acre x your 26 acres it would cost them $130,000 to get you lease. If they flip the lease even at the same cost to a driller they will still make out like a bandit!
Ron most landsmen tote a lease to a recorders office to record quicker than a fedx driver on a hot run! I do not know what county you are in but I would verify through that country recorders office who had the leases on adjoining property. In Muskingum County in the Engineers Mapping Office they have a plat map that shows pretty accurately who has what parcel leased by the lessees name. I would not sign a lease without verifying all of what I hear.
Same Company? http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot...
Looking at the Muskingum County Recorders Off ice I see no activity to indicate they are kicking butt. Using Patriot as a search name.
Is Muskingum in the "OIL" area on the new Utica Map? Is that better or
worse than the "Wet-Gas" areas? The author of the map seems to feel
the "Wet-Gas" areas are most important. I thought the Utica frenzy was
about oil? Does anyone know?

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
