Cherokee County, TX oil & gas discussion group. Share your experience regarding lease bonus, royalty rates, drilling activity, and oil & gas news.
I own an interest in abstracts 254, 259, and 988. I just found this information after my mother's death. She had alzheimers and I don't know if there has been anyone looking to lease or drill in this area. Any ideas about what I should do now besides file an Affidavit of Heirship?
Two years ago I inherited land in Cherokee County and have recently been approached by Graem Resources, LLC which is interested in leasing the land for oil and gas exploration purposes. Can anyone tell me about this company and what the going rates are per acre in Cherokee County for such leases?
Marie,
Click on this link from the Anderson County Group. Some discussion here on the Graem Resources, LLC and other interesting comments about activity in the Cherokee, Anderson and Smith Counties area.

Marie,
Do you know the Abstract # of your minerals? If you know the Abstract # and you will post it I will check the GIS Map and see if there is any activity or production in the area of your minerals. If there is activity or production in the area that makes your area more favorable for leasing and the bonus and royalty percentage greater.

Clint,
Thank you for your response. I am still reading the posts made by others and trying to understand all the "oil" jargon. I inherited 89 acres but the Graem folks apparently are only interested in 58.2 acres in the C.B. Nash Survey, A-643. The rest of the property, I believe, is in another survey. I will find out. I am not thrilled with the offer they have made.

Hey Clint Not to butt in, how do I find out if anything is happen around my lease? Just leased this past January.

thanks

Marie,
A-643 shows to be in between 2 oil producing areas. To the northwest and to the southeast there have been production in the past. I see several plugged oil wells(green dots with arrow through them) and numerous dry hole(blue circles with arrows through them) and in the distance to the northeast some gas wells.

Hello Chris,
Looks like you have 1 gas well on your A-16(API 073-31114). And numerous gas wells to the northwest of your minerals interest. Also 1 gas well to the east of your A-16 and also several dry holes have been drilled in the past. Past dry holes don't mean much now days.

No completion report found for this gas well.

Thank you for the information. Before signing anything I need to be informed and you have been very helpful. How many acres do the leasing entities want for a well? I am quite certain they will want to pool.
Marie,
It will depend on if it is a Vertical or Horizontal well. It will definitely be different.
Clint Liles
thanks Clint

I leased some mineral rights in Cherokee county last month and I was wondering how you would find out about exploration in that area. Abstract 25.
Any possibility of leasing land in Cherokee County near Mixon, Texas? I have a part in 56 acres of undivided property and either want to lease or sell my part.
