ALOV and Northern Trumbull County- Updated Discussion to include BP Lessor's and Bonus money Payment's

Hello all!

 I have been doing a little research and speaking with friends and neighbors about forming a group to address the needs of those of us not yet represented by a landowners group.

This led me to call ALOV after hearing that they had accepted some acreage in Trumbull county.

I paid little attention to ALOV earlier as their website did not list Trumbull county as an area of interest, although the work they were doing was certainly of great interest to me.

 From what i gather there was a cut-off of June 30 for sign-up with ALOV, they extended that and also had a meeting at RD banks Chevy in Champion. This may not be news to some of you, but i had not come across the posting until after. The word i got from an individual at ALOV was that Chesapeake set a northern geographical cut-off in Trumbull county of St.Rt.88, again this may not be a newsworthy flash to some. Many landowners attended, more than expected according again to a source at ALOV, and signed up their acreage.

Now heres the news, ALOV has agreed to start a "Waiting List" of still more interested parties from areas north of St.Rt.88. If you call them with name, address and phone number they will put you on the list, and depending on level of interest, they may choose to represent us as a group in a similiar fashion, with the same or even better terms to Chesapeake, or another interested party.

So call up ALOV, their number is listed on their site www.alov.us , and ask to be included in their next go around. From where i stand why re-invent the wheel, they already have done the groundwork and have the attention of the industry on favorable terms, lets ask them to either start another "Pool" to include us, or come work with us to the same end.

If you have information to share, please join in the discussion, Thanks 

 Hello again to all my fellow Utica Shale Owners. I Just stopped in to ask if there were any who signed with BP from the ALOV Northern Trumbull county group, that resulted from these efforts, still around.

Has anyone had any conversations/correspondence from BP concerning title defects, or other issues that would delay payment or affect your lease, or gotten a check for Bonus money?

Well, I got my 2 defects cleared and sent the paperwork back to Houston, but when I called yesterday I was told that it will be 2-3 weeks at the earliest before anyone even gets back with me about it!  I tried emailing the address that was on the letter and got a canned response reply back from it.  I also tried looking up Curtis Thomas's phone number and that was also a dead end.  Talk about some bad customer service.

I am still waiting.  I got my defects cleared and sent the packet back to Houston last Monday...still waiting.  I'm told that it's in their legal department who is checking to make sure that the paperwork is actually  legal!

Good for you!  I send my cleared defects back to BP last week and they can't even tell me where they are in the system, only "that I shouldn't look for any kind of an answer before the middle of November".  I signed in the first bunch with ALOV but never got a defect letter until Oct.1.  I would sure like to know who is running the show in Houston.

Debby: You want to do everything you can to get your money this year, because if you don't the tax increases in 2013 are hugh. Keep bugging them. The wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease.
