Looks like this guy is a shady character. When I called today to get the name of his landman, his phone is disconnected. Now I cannot find out what company had it before him.
Joe Lynn,
Drilled in 1978, produced 2500 Bo to about 1983 then was a stripper well with last production reported to OCD in 2004 A H & L Operating Inc the only operator. I don't think AH&L scared Calyx off just tried to hold them up and get a carried interest in a new well. This is what happens with passive management of minerals. If the pre 1978 lease says production in paying quantities, the lease could have been terminated in 1983. If the lease says "production" it remains valid until some land owner takes the hangers on to task. This is no game for the meek to play. The meek may inherit the earth but not the mineral rights, my mentors taught me.
do yourselves a favor and petition the OCD to require the well be plugged for non production. Calyx, American and all the owners will be better off.

I do know that Shell Oil was purchasing from them, they said they would investigate foe me. If it gets plugged, can I then contact American Energy and let them know so they can pursue their interst to drill 8k feet?
So, does it loom like there may be some smal royalties out there to pursue?
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help, my family and areg grateful.
Through my due diligence, I have found who has been holding my grandmothers royalties for 2 other rigs. I just need to find a way to get a Quit Deed to present.
Best thing you can do is clean up your title. Forget about tilting at windmills and look ahead. the new oil business is where it is at through the likes of what Calyx and Devon and others risking the cost of the expensive wells. You can't see the future looking through the rear view mirror. Life is short. GLH

Are we due royalties from the other mineral owners as well, do they receive ours as weel? I do not know how all of that works.
Thank you Gary for all of your help. I have finally contacted all of the companies and am getting the Quit deed and all of the supporting documents.
