"If you have your own lawyer, I very much doubt a land man is necessary. Don’t know if the oil/gas company will deal with the landowner directly. When we did our lease, we used our lawyer and he dealt directly with the oil/gas company with no…"

"Joe, Billl Williams from KWGD is in Canton, Ohio.  Their office phone is (330) 497-0700.  I don't think you would need to actually visit his office - they could probably handle everything over the phone or email.  He is a…"

"Joe, One option you may want to consider is trying to get a 5 year paid up lease under a new lease contract rather than extending the old lease on a year to year basis.  If you agree to a year to year lease and they drill in the first year you…"

"this landman is trying to tell me that the pugh clause allows them to extend the lease that expired in 2021 for 2 years after it expired but then wanted to change the payment terms from what was in said lease "

"This is why a Pugh clause is great to have. Any acreage not in a unit is free and clear for the landowner to make a brand new lease on. It’s true that the companies can set forth terms that benefit them; but you, the landowner, can also set…"
