Hi there. Hess has five permits on your acreage but honestly this seems like a pretty good offer. You might be able to do a touch better with the lease bonus, but a 20% royalty is usually the top for North Dakota absent some extenuating circumstances.

You may need to look at your old lease. If you already have production in one well, you may be held by production and not able to lease again. Are they trying to lease a different zone? Did you have a depth clause in your first lease?
Are you getting paid on the En-MOE-154-94 0508H-1?
