amendment

anyone have an eclipse lease that antero is seeking change I got a letter from turner oil and gas on anteros behalf  a few weeks ago offering us 1000 per acre but it looks like most of the original lease has be deleated and replaced, things I see are changes of royalties now paying on gross and the original is paying on the net, looks like also they want to wait 6 months after production to pay royalties  there are 8 pages of wording changes anyone else receive one of these???

"We ask an lawyer and he was willing to nego for us but he wants 50%.. is that standard?"

Yes, but only if the lawyer is actually a villain from a James Bond movie.  Seriously, 50%?  Post the attorney's name on here.  We need to know who these people are.

To be fair I should say that it was 50% for anything above the original offer of 1000 per acre but we have several plots and would have given him a wind fall I guess the lesson here is ask up front what the charge is don't wait until you get a contract in the mail they want you to sign

Ok, well that's a pretty important distinction.

you can get a fair offer just do some research and ask questions and talk it out! Honestly they have there mind set on a figure and percentage! and there is wiggle room but their not going to give it unless you act professional and know a little about the bisness, meet half way! just my opinion and that's what I did and got awesome deal in the end. remember it takes time and maybe up to six offers or few more.

That's not a lawyer, that's a highway robber, a pirate, a thief. You need to find a good Oil & Gas attorney, not a general practice attorney who also does oil & gas work. He should charge his standard rate per hour for the hours of work he does for you and nothing more.
