Have a small mineral interest but BOY how Chesapeake Explorations sure wants me to sign-up quickly. Understand it stands about even for most offers mentioned on this and other Forums but is it the Best? My second question is what if one does not sign up but waits for possible better offers later and this New Technology decides to ‘drill horizontally’ extracting all of my resources and leaves me with nothing, now or in the future? Who watches the Watchers?

Try reading these three links. It was written by an attorney at Texas A&M.

Each link was a virtual goldmine of information for me.

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer your questions.

These links should point you in the right direction.

I hope this helps.
