yes lease was permitted. Husband talked to antereo in february and again in June. they told us that they had started drilling the first part of November of 2017. She said it would be about january or february of 2019 before DO orders were sent out and maybe about 6 - 8 months after they got them back before i would start getting checks. that seems like a bunch of bull to me. surely it wouldnt take that long would it? seems every time we call them they give us a different date or answer. do they even know what the heck they are doing or are they just telling crap so that we will stop calling?
