Probably no leasing at all in 15-4N-5W because a horizontal well has held the 640 ac section since 2016. The last lease listed was in 2015.

M Barnes, if ACE Energy was to offer to lease, what is a fair value per acre in your expertise?

Thanks for all your help.

I am not sure you will get a lease offer unless it is for a different horizon or is a top lease for that section since it is held by production from a current well.

What is a top lease?

Please say more about top leasing. We entered into a top lease approximately 2 years ago in Section 21, 5 North 7 West, Grady County, before the Unit well came online. The unit well is very shallow and we have a 100’ depth clause.

It is a mineral lease taken out before the current lease expires. There is a very good explanation at: [https://www.mineralweb.com/owners-guide/leased-but-not-producing/top-leasing/](https://www.mineralweb.com/owners-guide/leased-but-not-producing/top-leasing/)

Is Continental the one who has that section currently?

Tim: I believe after a relatively quick review, that your interest was force pooled by Continental Resources. If you do own an interest in Section 15-4N-5W, you should be receiving royalty on the Sinclair well that is a part of this Section and Section 22.

The pooling covers the pertinent formations that are being developed in the area and I don’t see where you have any “OPEN” interest that someone would be leasing at this time.

Again, this was a quick review.

Good luck.

If we’re not receiving any royalty checks from Continental, do you have contact info I could get hold of to check? Thanks for all the insight.

Go to their website: [Owners - Continental Resources](http://www.clr.com/owners).

There you should be able to get the ball rolling. Their owner relations hotline is 405-774-5257. You were listed on Pooling Order #642598, dated 7/1/2015 as respondent #436.

Good luck.
