A J,
If you keep up with things and have a good oil & gas attorney, you can do a pretty good job. I have about 2 to 3 pages of addendum on most of my leases.
I think the judge who was over the Hyder case was probably working for the oil company. But, that is only my thought. Sometimes when you go to court, you draw a bad judge who don't care for mineral owners. But, most of the time they are fair.
