My problem is a little different. Back in 2011 when I leased with Chesapeake, they really screwed things up. Chesapeake had me file DMA against a deed that turned out being part of a neighboring parcel. When Eclipse leased me, they found that Consol had reserved 50 acres out of my 110 (can't do anything here since Consol file Notice of Preservation) and another landowner had reserved 50% of another 50 acres. We are in the process of trying to use current DMA to get back the 50% of 50 acres.
One of the things we are going to pursue if an heir responds to the DMA claim is a Marketable Title Action. No mention of the oil and gas reservation is made in any deeds from 1974 going forward.
Is your other acreage still good? Give me a call if you want to discuss this. 440.479.8444.

Have mineral heirs come forward to claim the 70 acres? If not, could you pursue the 2006/2014 DMA?
