I got called on June 1, by B. J. Kadrmas, landsman (woman) from Dickinson, offered to lease my minerals, quarter is about 6 miles from Saskatchewan and 5 miles East of Westby MT (the Montana border). I have cousins in MT and ND in that area. It seems that 2 companies are in process of leasing all the unleased acreage west of Westby (obviously in Montana), and east of Westby (obviously in North Dakota). Most of those minerals have been leased before so someone is going to try a big play in the Bakken Formation by drilling more horizontal wells.
My siblings and I just signed with Kadrmas in July 2010 for 5 years in Divide County for $150/acre. Who else has been contacted? Sid Kuropchak
Well I do not think your question is serious, to ask me to list all people who have been contacted! I believe by today you know there are 2 potential lessees, and the second one has paid bonus of 2 1/2 times more than Kadrmas. As today is the 26, you posted on the 14, so that is old news. Hot leasing area today, 2 years from now hot drilling area in extreme northwest Divide County, up to the Saskatchewan Border.
Dear Leslie. You misunderstood my question. It was not directed specifically to you but to the forum members as in who else has been recently contacted. I just wanted to compare what we received to others in the area of Divide County. I haven’t heard from anyone else, so please disregard my message and no further responses are asked of you.
