It was just how things were done back then. Now most leases have language that protects against it.

There is a discussion concerning what happened to the neighborhood in Stonewall. The discussion is "Stuck in an Ancient Lease" on gohaynesville.com. Read Kassi's comments on what she found out yesterday while searching the records at the DeSoto Parish Courthouse.
It seems that 2 families owned almost 4,000 acres and the land was in several different sections. They signed a lease in 1955(?) with no pugh clause or language concerning units. There is one well in Sec. 28, 15n 14w that has been in production ever since. That one well is holding 4 or more sections by its production.

If you were injured during the course and scope of your employment, it is w/c. If your boss told you to leave work and deliver a package, you get in an auto accident, that is w/c.
You need to speak to a w/c atty before you file for anything.
If you do have a w/c injury, and then you file for unemployment, you have just ended your w/c claim. The basis for w/c is that you contend you are unable to work. If you file for unemployment, it is acknowledgement that you are willing and FIT for employment and negates any w/c claim you may have.
Also, if you are going to file a w/c claim, you must do so quickly. If you are injured during the course and scope of your employment, you are supposed to file an injury report and immediately inform your employer. Louisiana law favors this rule. Some cases are lost at trial because the injury report was not filed and the judge felt that the injured worker could not prove he was injured at work.

The above that you previously posted is what gave everyone that you probably needed a new attorney.

This CMM then went on to say that "some people prefer to be pooled" -- via feeling that "the State will offer better terms than the company is offering."
The expert's stomping ground is Oklahoma where things are different. In Louisiana, the State does not make any "deal" for any unleased interest. In Louisiana, you will receive 100% of your pro-rata share based upon the acerage that you own and the size of the unit. LESS costs paid by the o/g company.
I would prefer to lease and make the best deal I can, 25% interest is common. If you do not lease, you will be chasing your money for the life of the well. I believe that production costs can be as much as 40% of an unsigned landowner's interests. The unsigned landowner would have to keep an attorney, CPA and a geologist on retainer to examine the costs being withheld from his share. I am sure that there would be VOLUMES of paperwork to sift through and to figure out if the costs assessed can be proven.
If someone only had 1 acre, I could understand why they would roll the dice and go unleased.
Good Luck in your leasing!!

The Office has really been very helpful for us. There are geologists there that will look at your area and tell you some points of interests and which depths may give the most production. Instead of speculating, people that do not understand the unitization process, they could call and go over everything. Everytime I speak with one of the geologists, they tell me "No problem, that is what we are here for to help landowners".

Elm Grove,
I'm no TigerDog but this might help you, I just answered this question on another post. The Louisiana Office of Conservation answers many questions from landowners.This is the office that all the o/g companies have to report their information to and have to answer to. There is an office in Shreveport but I like dealing with the Baton Rouge office much better.
The number in BR is (225) 342-7488. Just ask the person who answers the phone if you could have the department that handles production auditing for landowners. It is important that you get routed to the right dept. It will help, that when you first call and are dealing with the receptionist, to give a concise (brief and to the point) statement as to why you are calling. You might just want to say "I would like to speak to the dept. that handles landowner audits of lease royalty payments received from _________ Oil/Gas Company." If that does not get you to a person, let me know and I will give you the number to a geologist that works there that is ALWAYS more than helpful. He does not do auditing but he will tell you who you need to speak with there. He also answers questions about Unitization.

Stewart,
I may have this incorrect and probably do. But, if your relatives continue to incur medical expenses at the facility where they reside, and then they pass away, does the ownership of the family home go to the state of Louisiana as reimbursement of their care and medical expenses in some way? If that would be the case, then the State would be getting royalties for many years to come and for far more than cost of the medical care. Do I have it screwed up?

Here is another stupid question. If CHK, HK, and XTO are all making offers to lease 30 acres in northern DeSoto, at what point will they just pass on besting each others offers? I have heard of $21,000 in Stonewall but I cannot confirm it. Right now, they are at $18,000 on the 30 acres for me. Each offer, the other company says they want a chance to match or beat the offer. I couldn't be happier that this is taking place, but does anyone have any idea what their max will be?

they are boring this place with their questions about minute acreage in random places. people are coming to tigerdroppings.com to see if their land is ripe for drilling. may want to figure that out on something a little more official, it is starting to get late in the game.
I last time I looked, this particular blog page topic was "Haynesville Shale". There are a lot of absentee landowners who are searching for any bit of information they can to try and help themselves and others. The least thing you can do if you do not wish to help is be gracious about it instead of insulting us. If you do not wish to have to read our "boring" posts, then go to another page and reply to other topics. You are very insulting with your holier than thy attitude.
AND, not all of us have just 1 acre.

Of the leases we did with JPD, Empressa ended up drilling one unit, Camterra another. Don't know if the Camterra one went thru Empressa first.
I looked at the records and I believe that Caruthers, Empressa and JPD Energy assigned their leases in those sections to Camterra and then Camterra unitized the areas and drilled the wells.

Thank you. Yesterday, I mentioned to the landmen some of the statements made by CEO Aubrey McClendon referring to the average amounts paid per acre by CHK ($15,000 - $25,000 per acre)to get the leases, the landman got upset with me. I told them I did not have to be paid the most, but what they were offering me, I would have been paid the lowest amount so I did not lease and CHK withdrew their offer. I have another company that is matching the CHK offer or offering better than the CHK offers so I am not that worried about it, I was just trying to figure out the ballpark range that I should lease for.

Not knowing exactly where the acreage is in proximity to the "Haynesville Fairway", which still hasn't been completely defined, it's even more difficult to put a value on it
What about those of us supposedly in the Haynesville Fairway? I have not leased because I still cannot find a "value" for my 21 acres. Do you have any suggestions as to a value? I am in 15N, 14N, Sec. 12, just about 3 miles south of the Caddo Parish line in North DeSoto Parish.

Once you enter your section, township and range, and you know you entered it correctly, if no well info comes back,then no well has ever been permitted or drilled. To double-check, enter a section that you know has been drilled and you can see that well info.

There is also a Burford near Gloster that received a little over $10,000 per acre for a little over 100 acres. He leased about 3 weeks ago.
