Believe me, I understand every word you said. I had good luck on my last two situations as I said earlier; but, I had looked the guys I happened to be dealing with straight in the eye when we made the initial dealings and they weren't conglomerate company folks I happened to be dealing with. I personally would rather go back to the 1880's if you get my meaning.

Big foot,
Today's oil companies don't care what is in your lease. I am not proud of this, but I am on my 3rd court case with oil companies and I don't believe that is the way things should be settled. I have spent thousand of dollars that are not recoverable trying to get my minerals cleared because of the mess they have made by sell, assigning wrong, etc. Also, if a person looks at the Co clerk office and realized how many pages will have to be added to your abstract in Oklahoma, it's several hundred dollars just for their loan, part release, more loans, assigning, etc. One of these days, people are going to thing twice about leasing to them, but there will always be those people that just don't know better. I have been talked to like I was a 2 year old from an oil company personal that may have had a D avg and lucky to get out of high school. Yet, they thought they could tell me, quote "There isn't a D__ thing you can do". We will see who wins that one.
