OIL MAN GIVES mTIPSv TO
LANDOWNERS
By An Independent Oil Man of
Great Falls (name withheld, but
on file.-Editor)

~ an luQSptHQeHI Oll wan OF
Great Falls (name withheld, but
on file.-Editor)
Considerable has been said about
the leasing of lands for the proposed
development of oil and gas, but il
landowners are smart and do not
want a dozen major companies to
control practically all of the (poten-
tlal productive acreage in blocks of
from $4,000 to 100000 acre units,
they should follow at least a few bas-
ic principles.
Never lease any land for less
than Sl.00 an acre, with $1.00 an
acre increase in penalty if develop
ment is not started on this pariic-
ular ground within a year In
otherwords, $1.OO an acre for the
first year, $500 an acre for the
second year, $500 for the third and
SO on, and never lease for a period
of over five years.
Never lease over three-quarters of
the land in any acreage block, hold
ing the quarter acreage to be dispos-
ed of if development and production
is obtained. This will keep the in
dependent producer in business and
will increase development as the years
go by.
These tips are to be used in add
ton to any bonus per acre that may
be paid for the land which usually
runs from $1.OO to $4,000 per eacre
for signing lease.
Above all, no landowner, whether
private, state or federal, should ent-
FL into any unit operation. This is
ruse promoted by the larger COM
oanies to control a large amount of
acreage and use one we'll to validate
he entire block. 1t is almost certain
hat all acreage in any one block will
lot be productive of oil or gas, but
he man owning lands that have pro-
luction must split his royalty with |
III other landowners in the same tract |
'ro rata. This is the biggest scheme
yer perpetrated in the oil industry
o fool the landowner. 1t is another
cal like the fifty-fifty working
greement that fooled so many land
wners and small operators.
1t is hoped that the landowners
i'll see the light and keep the oil
usiness open and above board and
bove all, have an attorney who has
ad experience in the oil business
thoroughly scrutinize every lease.
