I posted this on the GB but maybe this forum will be more helpful.

Just wondering if anyone here had signed a lease with either of these companies or knew anything about them. Oil interest in my hometown's county has peaked and both of these companies are leasing up land.

We just signed a lease out at our place about 3 months ago. I'll have to ask my dad who it was with, but I do know they are paying a premium right now.

I want to say we got ~$25k for the drilling pad. They also agreed to do some other work for us (like add a pond and expand another) for free.

I'll talk to my parents at some point this weekend to see who and how much.

I know where you're from, and we're just north of ya'll. And our well is for natural gas, not crude oil.

Our family is also the royalties holder for all the land.

The people said that if this well hits big, then they will drill 4 more on our family's property.

In a seperate transaction, they got some more land from my dad to run the pipeline to another main pipeline.
