Escopeta Oil & Gas Corporation has recorded 45 leases in Hale County, from the middle of 2012 and continuing to the present. A lot of this appears to be in the northeast part of Hale County.

I was wondering what the lease rates are going for in Hale County. I currently have an offer, but I don’t think it is market value.

None of the recorded leases ever mention the dollar amount of the lease, which is standard. Perhaps some of the members could chime in. In a post below, someone mentioned $150 per acre and 20% royalty. In neighboring Hockley County, you typically see royalty between 20% and 25%, and bonus between $300 and $450. With Hale County being on the northern outskirts of current interest, they probably can get away with offering less.

I just recently learned that I inherited the gas and oil mineral rights to a section in Hale County and signed a ratification. However, I have a sister who refuses to be involved and sign hers. What effect, if any, does this present for the company’s ability to drill in the area?

Many times people who own mineral rights, but do not own the "executive lease rights", are asked to sign a ratification. In other words, some other mineral rights owner in the past has retained the executive rights, which allow him to negotiate the terms of all oil and gas leases. I don't know if that is your situation or not. If this is the case, I don't believe that would prevent the oil company from proceeding, since they would have a valid lease. However, your sister might not receive her share of any proceeds. The only way to know for sure is to ask an attorney regarding your specific situation.

Not the greatest offer, but hard to turn down due to the lack of activity anywhere in the area.

Laredo Petroleum has a new permit to drill in Hale County. The Heard 4 well is a vertical well 3.5 miles south of Happy Union - in section 4 block R. This well is about 16 miles due south of Plainview.
