[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 548363, member: 6897"] Lammie I'd gladly move the wells off our place and put them on yours. And yes prices for pads are negotiable but you in effect give away the use of 2-3 acres of land with each pad for as long as the gas well is in operation. Covered over 8-10 inches deep with white gravel it's useless for anything else. And the O&G company WILL put the well where they want it. Only a few months ago a man in Cleburne who owned surface rights only to his 12 acre place went to court with EOG to try and keep them from placing the the drill sight on his place. (12 acres out of 640+ acres). The judge ruled in favor of EOG and the man got a paltry $10,000 for the site. Sure you can get a little bit of fencing and a nice cattle guard entrance and maybe a little cosmetic work but fact remains they'll put it thru the roof of your house if that's the best location and then worry about compensation when you end up in court. Mineral rights always take precedence over surface rights in Texas. [/QUOTE]
