Question about getting a lease released

Thx. For your advice and sharing your experience. I have actually talked to the company and they said they would terminate the lease. They said they just needed a needed a letter requesting termination in writing. I sent a certified one today. I was mainly wondering if it should be filed in the county seat. I am keeping my fingers crossed. We do have an offer for leasing but the company said they would take the company to court to get the lease terminated and only wanted to give us a small percentage of the bonus up front and the rest if they got the court to clear the lease. I just decided to handle it myself. We will see. Plus they said they could not give us more bonus money because they would have court costs in getting the lease cleared. I think that might have been overstated. I am new to all of this but am not afraid to make calls and ask questions. Our well had been non producing since 2010. I just became trustee of the well so I am trying to do the best thing for my family with very little knowledge and experience.
