I have been negotiating a lease for Survey 3, Block 3, Munger Subdivision, D.L. Cunningham Survey, A-367. Have been offered $325 per acre. How does that stack up for this area?

In the area… CGS (EOG) drilled and completed the Santorinin unit - in 3.5 months the well made nearly 100,000 bbls of oil - 3.5 million gross - they will be drilling many wells in Dawson and Gaines County - big find in the Sprayberry.

Honestly… I would have guessed higher for a bonus in Dawson, but you are a bit out of the main play. The Santorinin unit mentioned by @ed_elmore is good (though 10,800’ long, so it better be haha), but nearly 12 miles away from you which is quite a jump when it comes to play boundary delineation.
**More importantly though, what royalty is this lease?** Push for the highest royalty possible, then make sure post production costs are in your favor, then ice the cake with the lease bonus. Have a professional review the lease before signing.
Horizontal wells can have 30-40+ years of well life, which is a long time to kick yourself for poor lease terms :).
