signing lease

Maybe someone out there can help me. I am not leased and have not signed up with any lawyers but have gone to a couple meeting.  One of the lawyer goups just called and said they have a contract with Halcon and want me to sign a contract.  I would get 3150 an acre and 18%.    However the lawyers want 150 per acre and 1.5% of the roylaties for 5 years.  The 1.5% would translate to 8.33% of my royalties.   But they said that need to do it by monday.  I hate to rush into something but what if i wait and nothing happens.  I hate to give up some of may royalties.  But i would hate to end up with 18% of nothing.

 

What do you think?

I don't understand how 1.5% translates to 8.33%. According to MSlg it is halcon that put the the time limit on the offer and that is because they want to drill before this winter.

8.33% represents the amount she'll loose after the 1.5% is deducted from her 18%.  In other words she ends up with 16.5% or 8.33% less than she would have gotten with no deductions off her original  royalty of 18%.

Jim,

Yes we have an offer for our members. But I cannot post details here. I will say that we do not take any fraction of any of the landowner's royalties. We will schedule another meeting soon.

why would anyone sign with M&P or CX or whoever they are today and have them take 6 - 8% of your sign on bonus when you can deal directly with a drilling company?

i heard they are taking over 8 million dollars from the group they represented from Mercer when someone in the group ran the numbers?

I talked to Adapt and they said they are not looking to deal with any more attorney groups here, that they deal directly with landowners preferably and are here to invest money into the community not dish out millions to "Attorneys" who round up as much as they can to make money, not get people drilled.

Tibbs told me two weeks ago that he was not leasing any more land in Richland Twp, Venango county at least for now.
