Deep Gas Wells

Keeps me busy waiting for the warmer weather and fields to dry off.

No I was short and fat and had 15/15 vision. Truthfully, we may well have crossed paths but who knows.
Yes, I know the place you mention and yes it is true or at least was true that virtually no one lived in Loving county thus the lowest population density. No, I did not work for Amoco though they were a competitor in many areas I worked and I visited their offices a few times I remember. Those were the good old days. I miss Houston sometimes. Nah, onward and upward.

In Texas all those oil and gas leases have to go through a title company and be filed of record in the county courthouse. All those "colored" properties mighta just happened in his car before he rang your door. To get the straight scoop - go to the courthouse and ask to see what's been filed. Or better yet - get someone who does that a lot to do it for you. They would have a site they go to for checking that stuff. Sometimes there are "prospectors" that go out and get as many people as they can in an area then sell the "block" of properties to the drillers for a profit and the agreement they signed with you may or may not continue with the new owners of your lease. ---- Lawyer time fer sure before signing anything ------ My wife has done this stuff for a living for over 20 years and can tell some real horror stories of 'lil people (she calls 'em) getting taken by the big boys.
be ver-r-ry careful - it could cost you the value of your property

Five or six of the colored properties, I know for a fact have signed. But, I can check the county clerks office to be sure. From talking to some of the farmers, the leases have come and gone over the years. They feel it helps them pay the taxes, and if they actualy drill, then there is a posible pay-off. I doubt that my property is where they want to put the first well. I can always wait and see what happens on that first one.

Here are some photos to better describe what the construction sites, and the finished product, look like.

First, here's one under construction now...

In the distance, you can see a second well being drilled.
