ALRY could still be Operator on any lease sold or otherwise transferred to generate revenue... I don't have a clue what happened to Larry N. Sanford...Its like it was an alias that just vanished... Much harder for production records in the oil business to vanish... Some Peak Energy lease info which shows a Smith lease... http://chasm.kgs.ku.edu/pls/abyss/oil.ogl5.OpLeases?f_id=1028004862 And the Smith lease info shows Allenergy, Inc. as Operator... http://chasm.kgs.ku.edu/pls/abyss/oil.ogl5.MainLease?f_lc=1001128969 But ya gotta expect a dry hole every now and then...Just not as big as LNS drills...LJ
