Robert,
I totally agree. In Texas not once have I had a problem of any kind. So, when I started dealing with landmen in ND it was a completely different game. Kinda like protecting your credit cards from thieves. Since all previous transactions had gone so well dealing with honest folks, I never suspected what all a lease can do to your share of the profits. I was taken to the cleaners by Blanca Peak because I trusted them. Since dealing with them, I only know of one landman I trust, other than my manager. That man is Tim Greenheck with Copperhead in Minot. In fact I need to introduce my manager to Tim. They are both honest and forthright in their dealings and possibly can help each other. Have a great day, Robert.
