Mineral lease in duval county

Hi.

Venado Drilling approached me with an oil lease; I imagine it was the same lease as well. My land is in the same general area. I chose not to sign it. The land man, Jonny, never replied to an email I had with questions about the lease as it was written, and he gave me a deadline of January 1, after only hearing about the lease a few weeks prior. In fact, he never replied or acknowledged receipt of the email I sent him regarding passing on the lease offer!

I felt very rushed into making such a serious decision and I was not too pleased with his lack of response to my correspondence, so I passed. I will be keeping track of what is happening with their test wells and where they do decide to drill. Good luck to you. I hope it works out!
