Then they must be using a front company to operate them. Funny how they dont say anything about the leases like what county they are in, or what their production history is. The press release is just "we got some oil wells". I am guessing they are abandoned leases that never made anything they picked up for cheap or nothing.
it says it's in Kansas, and the well produced oil a few years ago. but if you google land leases in Kansas, you can get a 74 acres of hunting land for lease for $1,000.
