D&L Energy

Has anyone in the northern Mercer County area (Kennard/Osgood) been approached by a land man from Midwest Land Services, representing D&L Energy?  I have an existing 10 year old lease with one well and they left me, on my porch, an amendment to unitize my 23 acres.  It doesn't have any other changes to the lease other than changing the size of the pooling and unitization to 1,280 acres.  I called the guy who left his card and asked him "what's in it for me?"  My question is, do I have any leverage to get a higher royalty percentage or up front money and should I see an O&G attorney before signing anything.  Anybody else have a situation similar to this?

Don't sign anything.  Call an attorney.  Then they'll tell you D&L is a representation of every bad stereotype in the oil and gas industry.  There's nothing in it for you unless you force them to give you something.

I have a D and L lease and have spoken to a guy from Midwest who is requesting the same lease amendment. We do have some leverage.  I have contacted an attorney I know that has some Oil and Gas experience. We have some  leverage but more if we stick together and even more if we can get the other owners in that area to join with us....form a sort of land group. We probably wont get bonus money but I have heard of some success getting a higher royalty and possibly cleaning up some areas where we are exposed in the old D and L leases....there is a way we can communicate privately...think if we send a friend invite to each other

Anytime someone wants you to sign a document except a traffic ticket, perhaps the IRS as a rule you do have the hand as it requires your hand or they wouldn't be asking.

They're back and they are trying to clean up their mess.  Remember the Youngstown earthquakes?, that's right ! D & L Energy.

Their old leases are faulty and they are trying to prepare them for a sale, it is their history IMHO.

I thought I heard one time that Halcon bought all the D&L leases in Mercer county?

The property on both sides of me just signed with Halcon a few months ago.  The guy from D&L mentioned Shell when I talked to him.  He said they're trying to get all the leases unitized so it's ready to drill when Shell (or whoever) is ready to move.

If you sign that modification then you deserve everything you'll get from it.

A guy told me a few months ago he seen the transfer on the mercer county recorders site. I have tried to see it but can't find it, but I'm not very good at finding my way around sites like that, so I don't know?
