Which is BS because half the contractors these Oil and Gas companies hire cant produce decent work and they just turnover anyways.I do strict Due Diligence work, Prefer to Work from Home, and if they want me to travel my per-diem is higher than usual as well. When you have the land and property law skills that I do they will take advantage of me if they are not paying through the teeth for it. Yes the cost of wells are pricey, I know this because I have a 3/16th royalty in a well in Kansas, That royalty INCLUDES working interest, but the amount of money SPECULATED on the minerals and spent BEFORE drilling is where the problem comes in. I know independent landman with MILLIONS of $ that go out and lease faster and smarter than the big dogs, and they then turn around and flip the minerals in lease packages for 10,000% interest. The rampant speculation and lack of regulation as far as who and what can lease and sell minerals has led to an artificial increase in its value.</blockquote>
