Yes, and McClure Oil had a take it or leave it attitude toward surface agreement that several friends that work for Concho, Apache as well as independents said was EXTREMELY low ball!! We countered and they refused to respond. Eventually after my contact they said they were just going to proceed without surface agreement. Evidently there are several surface owners in the area that agreed to the very less than standard rates.
Some lowlights - one agreement covers all land owned by surface owner in county, $5,000 for new well location, $3,500 for re-entry, $15 per rod road construction, water at $.25 per barrel and $3,000 for tank battery off well location.
Thankfully, both parties have returned to negotiating!
