[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1183659, member: 6291"] I suggest any time you are contacted by a land man to consult with a local attorney. They should be able to give you insight to what the going rates and terms are in your area. They will also tell you what your rights are. Land men are the car salesmen of the business. There are some good ones but a lot of them are very aggravating. Just understand going in, its their job to get the land as cheap as possible. They make a deal and move on for the most part unless they want some thing. Mix a drink and have some fun. :) My current job is to meet with land owners before we are about to drill. We (my boss and I) clear the land, survey the well site, build the pads, roads, pipelines and any other facilities needed. We are also in charge of the lease operators that will be going in and out on a daily basis while the well is in production. Some of the land owners have minerals and some don't. I have some land owners that are really nice and I have some that have threaten to burn our offices down. The ones that are usually upset do not understand the process and refuse to let attorneys or any one else help them in any way. They always think they are being cheated... by the world apparently. If you can get to a production foreman or production supervisor... deal with them... you are better off. They tend to bend over back wards for the land owners because they know they will be dealing with them day in and day out for the life of the well... as opposed to a land man. They have direct communication with the person making the calls and have more motivation to keep the land owner happy. Not all companies are like this but its worth a try. The bigger the company the more bs you have to wade through. The majors can be like dealing with the govt. [/QUOTE]
