Same sort of problem. A legal that is Block 10 of Raymond Daily Survey, but I cannot find any Raymond Daily Survey on the plat map that is online ([DAM](http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth231924/m1/1/zoom/))

Try spelling it “Raymond Dayly.” I found it on 1869 survey map spelled that way. All current leases I have seen do use the spelling you used.

Need input concerning current lease signing bonuses and royalty rates in Clay. Considering a lease now in the Wood County Land Survey and the Raymond Dayly survey. Offered a lot less than recently signed for those in Montague. Probably related to the large difference in activity of the two counties. Could anyone help with relevant data? Thanks.

The Barnett is not a likely candidate in the Clay County region. This is more likely a “conventional” oil play with a vertical hole. The play is more likely to be the sort of conventional reservoir in a geological trap/stratigraphic-structural whatever, not a blanket deposit like the Barnett. Thus the reward is different and the lease offer relates to that company’s idea of its potential and risk.

T.L. see attachment for block 10
There is one gas well on block 10 API 077-3119 (1978); on block 11 is a gas well API 077-31351 (1979) thus could be looking for gas.
Closest new permit may be in Jack County. Found one that was approx. 4 miles south of you. In Clay County it was approx. 6 miles NW (Dear Creek) of you. EOG has a horizontal well about 8 miles North of you understand it is a Barnett but could also be in other formations. Cannon has a horizontal well about 7 miles NE of you some say it is a gas injection into the Barnett. Have no info on signing bonuses.

The very south part of the County has some Barnett, but the bulk of the County isn’t very prospective for same is my understanding. If it is a horizontal test, it is likely a Barnett test and if vertical test more likely is after other zones.

I have an opportunity to purchase mineral rights in northern Clay County at $125.00 per acre. My minerals are currently in Oklahoma but it seems like a good deal. Any discussion or input from the experts on Clay County would be appreciated.

A while back I got a call from a guy wanting to lease my rights in Clay saying we were sitting on a huge helium deposit. Did anyone else get a similar call because I did not hear from him again?

The following is a sponsored (paid) promotional notice:
If you own minerals in Texas or New Mexico, consider attending the NARO – Texas convention in San Antonio July 18-20, 2018. They have a great agenda, good speakers, and the cost is reasonable. This year also includes a special session for New Mexico mineral owners. The current agenda draft is attached, and a link to their signup and information page is [NARO - National Association of Royalty Owners - Authorization required](http://www.naro-us.org/event-2824234)

Reminder to all. NARO is the one and only mineral owner group that is 100% for the mineral owner and not compromised by producers who have a different agenda that do the passive owner of a mineral interest. I am not saying such groups have no place in defending the industry against the enemies of the fossil fuel industry, rather they have a different mission.
