I signed a lease with West Coast Land in April 2012. It is located at Government Lots 3 & 4 in Section 30, Township 18 South, Range 17 East, M.D.B. & M. I have tried to find out if there is any movement or progress on the property or any surrounding areas to no avail. I sent West Coast Land questions and their response was to refer me to our contract. How can I find out what, if anything, is happening in this area? Thank you. Blythe
Dear Blythe,
Is it a 5-year lease? Have you received any rental payments for the last three years? Have you read the lease agreement? I think if you do and get the lease number they might help you.
Hi, thank you for responding. Yes, it is a 5-year lease and I received a payment at the time of signing it. I have not been able to get anything further from the company other than, “refer to the lease it is for 5 years.” I do not even know the name of the oil company involved and have only had contact with a man named Fred, the landman I believe he is called. I have read the lease but it is all legal but refers to royalties a lot and other issues. How do I even know when I will be entitled to royalties if they won’t tell me what is going on? I have also moved and divorced and let them know not to send any mail to the address they had previously but I have little confidence in their ability to follow through. Have you or do you know of anyone that has been affiliated with West Coast Land?
I have sent a message.
