Dear Mr. Columbus,

Go to the Railroad Commission Web site and search for any activity in the vicinity of your land.

Here’s an info phone number you can call at Chesapeake in Ft. Worth and they will answer all your questions about where they’re drilling or planning to drill. The number is 817-502-5649. Ask for Marisa. I found her to be very helpful.

Of course, they’re more interested in CHK sites but if you politely ask about other companies, if they know they’ll tell you.

One question about finding out if you have anything worth drilling for - are there other rigs going up around you? If so, get the names & numbers of the company doing the drilling off the signs at the site entrance and call them. Might narrow your search a bit for you.

Good luck!

Jim Colley,

I recently received a letter from Cheasapeak stating they did not renew our leases but are offering new leases for 18 months at $2500 per acre. They do not mention royalties to be paid but stated you negotiated this deal with them. Can you please advise what is going on as our lease has or is running out soon?
