Jumping in here. My recent experience with Matador is that they make a minimal effort to negotiate the bonus and refuse to budge on 20% royalty. Then they immediately go to forced pooling.
I was able to get a third party to give me 200% of the bonus that Matador offered and 25% royalty. They fought the pooling and they reached an agreement with Matador. Matador has big plans in New Mexico and they are aggressively trying to get 20% or go to forced pooling. New Mexico seems to be allowing them to do it.
