Our leases allow deductions for processing. Because this has been an ongoing issue whenever prices drop too low we had a clause added to a newer lease disallowing deductions that exceed the value of the component. Our attorney in the state where the minerals are located said what we have experienced is not as it should be. He said that the only way this would ever be remedied would most likely have to be a class action suit. When I contacted the state agency regulating oil and gas and told them who we were dealing with I was told not to get them started on this producer. The producer rarely responds to questions and when we do get a response l question whether or not the people who respond have adult relationships with the truth. If you say there are good reasons to have to pay the producer to take what we own I will accept it.
