Present lease is soon to expire. Any information about prices of leases around this area and lengths? Royalty–20 or 25%? Any activity around this area–future drilling?
Mel,
Directly to the north of your Section 179 a horizontal well was drilled in(Section 180)2012 by Arabella Petroleum. It is a fairly decent oil and gas well. Link to Completion Report on Well API 389-33483:

Also a vertical well(API 389-32950) was drilled buy J. Cleo Thompson/completion numbers are 75 BOPD/70,000 MCF gas
I would definitely ask for the 25% royalty. Can't say about the bonus money. Possibly someone else will chime in with some numbers about bonus money.

Hi Mel. We have acreage a few miles to the north of you in Section 185. We were leased in early 2013 by Clayton Williams for $1000 an acre, 25%. Our area was more active than yours at the time, however. Best luck!

Mel - 3k to 3500/acre, 1/4 royalty, no costs except your share of taxes. don't take anything less. we're in section 221 just to the southeast of you.
Thank you Wade. Current lease with Clayton Williams--expires around Nov. 15. We are dealing with them now, but haven't heard back.

CWEI is in the process of doing a farmout with Caza (Euro company), so might be an interesting leverage if their acreage in Blk 13 is included (I suspect it is, but haven't been able to confirm).
Wade--who did you lease to?
