Education

At TCD, we pride ourselves on our ability to educate our community about leasing. As industry leaders, TCD and Chesapeake Energy bring value to the Haynesville Shale through our exceptional business practices.

Here are a few things that you can do to help your TCD leasing representative get your questions answered quickly:

Have a general idea of where your property is located. This will help your landman determine if there is a drill site in your area.

If there are other interest owners in the property, share that information with your TCD representative so he/she can direct you regarding next steps.

Ask questions. There are several things to consider when leasing, so you may want to prepare your questions ahead of time.

Following are some questions that are important for you to ask should anyone contact you concerning your minerals. You may have more than one leasing agency inquiring about your minerals; they should be able to answer the following questions:

Where is the drill site? A drill site may not be available in every area. However, anyone interested in leasing your minerals should be able to give you the facts about the current development in your area.

Who will be drilling in my area? Twin Cities Development leases solely on behalf of Chesapeake Energy, one of the largest producers of natural gas in America. Not every leasing company is working with a reputable operator, so it is important to know who will be drilling your Haynesville Shale wells.

What are the terms of the lease? There are several provisions in an oil, gas and mineral lease. The representative who contacts you should be able to effectively explain all of these provisions so you can make an educated decision about leasing your mineral rights.

Why should I sign a lease now? Leasing and producing your minerals can be a lengthy process. The sooner you sign a lease, the faster you profit from your land and minerals. What you do now can reap tremendous benefit in the future.

These are just a few things that you can do to better prepare yourself when talking to a landman. On this website, you will find more valuable information that will help make your experience with Twin Cities Development an exceptional one:
