AMERICAN RIGHTS IN CHAOS: SHALE OIL SWINDLE OF BLACK FAMILY'S OIL IN GLADEWATER, TEXAS

NEW SLAVERY: SHALE OIL PAYBACK

AMERICAN DREAM

What are rights? The Bill of Rights defines why I will make this examination of the disruption of my entire family’s destiny here in the United States of America, 2013.  This document backs anything our people might have to do to remain free and has been under attack since our nation was born.  The war for a nation bathed for centuries with the soul of black men, women, and children to either continue slavery or to destroy our freedom, our future, was on the line in the Civil War.  The aftermath was devastating for us of the new free because we had no land of our own and no understanding what ownership meant to a human being.  When my ancestors purchased land in 1870 in East Texas, the seemingly limitless expanse of land, made it go virtually unnoticed until 1980. 

Fortunes were being made after the East Texas Oil field was discovered in 1931 with oil reserves in the billions of barrels and natural gas in the quadrillions of cubic feet, a major oil discovery right where our land is. After fifty years of production of hydrocarbons Exxon drilled a high cost gas well on our land without permission or lease and hit natural gas in the Gladewater Field in Upshur County.  We signed an oil and gas lease in 1980 with the title opinion clear at Gladewater Gas Unit #5 with Exxon, securing our first division order and check in 1981. In retrospect, so many people had filed for ownership of the land in Gilmer, the county seat, that Exxon had no alternative than to cure the title or plug the well.  When the dust cleared my ancestors had purchased clear titled land in the middle of this enormous East Texas oil field, we were overwhelmed and humble, poised to have what natural gas and oil can do to your bank account: American Dream.  But after 33 years of analyzing our covenant with ExxonMobil it is evident that a trap was sprung that faithful day my grandmother signed that lease.

What kind of trap? What else could be left to do to us? We did not ask ExxonMobil to find natural gas and oil on our land? A new dynamic surfaced after evaluating a natural gas discovery that ExxonMobil informed us probably would never pay out, which would had increased our fair share of the profits from the hydrocarbons. When it demanded that we provide documents asserting that my grandmother was alive in 1989, the realization that authorities in Gilmer had set their trap.  

This center of Klu Klux Klan domination since 1922 had begun its on our rights as Americans which in my definition is a concrete example of NEW SLAVERY.  What?  The records show illegal auctions of land my great-great grandmother, Rebecca Allen had title to in Upshur County. Texas, in 1870. When the United States of America won the Civil War slavery was abolished to never exist on this land and the promise to pursue its destiny as a stakeholder is the right of every citizen of this great nation. If any one of us is denied this right to fulfil our destiny: America is denied its destiny.  It started adding up after 5,000,000,000 cubic feet of high cost natural gas was produced and gathered by gas gatherers with no tax identification numbers at the lease from 1980 to 2013 and we had no money in the bank. It is a fact that any other mineral royalty owner with natural gas or oil in the Gladewater Field has money in the bank; the field is prolific.  Why not us? This new slavery prohibits heirs of black landowners with mineral rights, gas wells, and oil wells from profiting from their production in a conspiracy that has ExxonMobil at its center: we are the proof.  This bizarre configuration has reinforced control of my and everyone in my family’s destiny by viewing us as still on its slave record.  We are to have only what it offers us, no hope for the future, witnesses to a generation blessed by an Angel struggling to survive when it should not had to, that is what it means to me when it comes to why so many died to give us freedom in the Civil War. 

 So we can’t be lynched anymore at the county court house at Gilmer but we are still oppressed by this challenge to our rights here in America.  Last I heard oil was $100 a barrel, any producing oil well in the Gladewater Field is making money, so what would ExxonMobil be thinking when after preparing a gas well that had produced 4,000,000,000 cubic feet of high-cost natural since 1993, Well #2, in 2006 to produce oil in paying quantities and then plug it in March of this year.

The inquiries I submitted were dismissed in the extent that ExxonMobil was aware that the Title Attorney in Gilmer had made mistakes in its opinion and it had failed to pay us delay rentals on the natural gas and eventually oil for any term of the life of the lease since 1980. This essentially dis-enriched us as the veil of fraud began to lift after oil replaced gas at the lease in 2006 and when the well was shut-in during the highest price surge for oil ever, $150 a barrel, it confirmed the strategy of this new slavery. The descendants of the slave owners in Upshur County, Texas had exacted their revenge, they have the power to order an oil well closed down if black’s could profit even if the gas or oil well was on land that they have owned since 1870, a 143 years. ExxonMobil created this scheme to show its contempt for black’s with total disregard for who might read this and establishment of its new slavery policy in the East Texas Oil and Gas Shale: What can be done?

This is not Putin’s Russia where oil kingpins can be put in prison but what is the difference if there are no oil laws being enforced by our government?  Where if you are black you better step back because you don’t even get paid for oil, ExxonMobil showed when it plugged an active oil well in the Gladewater Field in 2013. 

      

NEW SLAVERY: EXXONMOBIL'S EAST TEXAS OIL SWINDLE

We were in crisis from the day oil was discovered on our land, that ten acres of black gold, gas, condensates and after 26 years of gas production, Well #2 at Gladewater Gas Unit #5 which was completed in 1993 was reclassified as an oil well.  The lease was not terminated but the oil well was plugged in March of 2013 by the operator, EXXONMOBIL, which signed an oil and gas lease with my grandmother in 1980.

How is that possible? The biggest oil company in the world closing down oil wells in the Gladewater Field is where this crisis has controlled a generation of my family’s destiny.

We talked on a deep level that day, me and Dave, at our contract project trying to survive; I did not know his cancer had went terminal. “Why am I here?” he asked me with the most serious look I had ever seen on his face, he was tired, he seemed confused for the first time since I had known him. When his wife had left him after all those years he was not the same but he kept his business going and father a another son. He was amazing. I looked him straight in his eyes and spoke from my heart, “Daddy we all must die but the spirit will live on, we are divine, highly favored by the Great Spirit. I thank you and momma for my existence: I love you daddy!” tears were rolling down my face. 

He had been having all the time I knew him, we wanted for nothing and being black in the fifty’s in Wichita Falls, Texas that was the norm.  A base town for SAC provided a steady stream of money from the airmen and business would hire black men and women. Big Dave had control of the Kemp Hotel, he could hire or fire who he brought in to service the entire operation.  This was big time beyond the imagination of ordinary men and women working and raising families. Oil rich barons would descend there to plan and make deals with oil merchants who family’s had gas and oil from the 1920’s.  He made sure that their stay was one to remember and connected to their schedules for future visits to the Kemp. All that smoke in his café’s from 1970 until 1980 bought cancer on him and he never recovered. He suffered, we all suffered in his death, “How could such a man die?”

 

Momma was six years out from her reunion with daddy but it didn’t have to be that way if we had been given our fair shares of the profits from the hydrocarbons the lease. She would have had enough to survive and hold her own but she was denied her money from the gas by ExxonMobil who told her the lease would produce for no more than three or five years and not ever pay out.  The gas was being gathered by non-taxpaying companies so it was being diverted to the Gladewater Refinery with no tax and no regulation by the Texas Railroad Commission or feds..  By the time another well came in on the lease it was 13 years later, ExxonMobil had made a request to confirm in 1989: Was Granny alive?   Four years later the Gladewater Field rules were permitted to be changed by the Texas Railroad Commission and more than two wells were allowed per unit adjacent to our lease, Well #2 had been completed that same year; 1993. 

That began a 20 year unstated or calculated lease which produced billions of cubic feet of gas and condensates without us getting paid for our royalty interest or delay rentals. From what Lee Raymond informed us in 1980 about the well this was not a paid-up lease, it would not pay out: What about the paying-quantities test which the court must decide on from 33 years of production that ExxonMobil paid nothing.  Big oil giant Exxon closing down producing oil wells in the Haynesville Shale with oil at a hundred dollars per barrel does not fit its empire profile; How could it break an implied covenant of reasonable development for the lease? Is this the actions of a prudent operator whose purpose is making a profit with a producing oil well?

The violation of this implied covenant would sabotage any legal retreat for ExxonMobil if this case could be presented in a court of law.  But the system sustains this oil giant with positive rulings in higher courts regardless of its transgression from Val Dez to Alabama in recent cases. What makes my case different?

 

OTHER FOOT.......2013

OTHER FOOT…..2013

So………..destiny plays no favorite. Not the first……not the last born black in America, my home.  Now the powers that be take me for one of their victims while I have witnessed 33 years of profits from the condensates and gas add up to zero for my family.  When a trick from a long line of tricks from “City” orders Exxon-Mobil operations to fail in preparation for a gas well top produce in paying quanities…..Exxon-Mobil failed to prepare the lease, Gladewater Gas Unit #5, Wells 1 and 2, for production of the gas and eventually oil in paying quantities. The City is Wichita Falls, Texas where the kingpin and I derive.  It is no coincidence because his boss, Lee Raymond had ordered Exxon-Mobil to never pay my family for their fair share of the profits on the production of oil and gas from the lease once he recognized that we were black back in 1980 when the well was completed.

Now what does that have to do with reality?  How can a human being…. A family of human beings be degraded in reality? I lived in Nigeria and saw first hand what happens when oil and gas is in the ground and the people have no profit, government owns the oil and gas…just like in Russia, billions and billions of dollars of profit….none ever reaches the hand of the nation of people.  Is this Nig0geria? Is this Russia? That little change from the oil could have gotten my dad a bill paid while fighting cancer, could have helped pay for college for our brothers and sisters, could have saved granny from death in a nursing home, could have given us the break that the other Exxon-Mobil oil and gas royalty owners across Lake Gladewater, I wonder how much the City of Gladewater has been paid since being Unitized by Lee and Rex when they realized that Upshur County Shale extended 12,500 feet down in the Gladewater Field.

So……..might as well be in Russia the way nobody got paid in our family for their fair share of the profits………Exxon-Mobil does not honor any oil and gas lease signed by black in America.

No matter what shale reserves are under a lease signed with a black mineral owner, Exxon-Mobil will apply New Slavery to disenrich no  matter if it is a producing oil or gas well on that lease. 

Rex got game from Putin, “They get nothing.  We control all the oil and gas. We rule the world and if anyone thinks we don’t…..we show them who we are!”

When I said that Equity Alliance meant that Exxon-Mobil would curtail development of Haynesville shale in Upshur county and pay only the royalty owners that are not black. Strange as it sounds……after producing gas from 1993 well #2 has to be reclassified from gas to oil, meanwhile the field rule are modified to allow three wells on the adjacent lease across from our lease which failed when Exxon-Mobil did not prepare to produce oil in paying quantities………..might as well be in Nigeria.  It is nothing but New Slavery in 2013.

So…..It is a joke to this man after Exxon-Mobil paid him millions for delivering the East Texas Oil and Gas Reserves to the long term benefits of Putin and the Red Mafia. 

Covenant Breaker: Exxon-Mobil: Kingpin OilGas Mafia

I knew about the application of oil and gas law concerning covenants way back in 1981 because of the way my family became involved in oil and gas was through Exxon-Mobil in 1980.  The lease we signed had words about development which to me we would share the fair market value of the profits from the gas and eventually oil.  The records of thirty years of production show that the lease was marked because we are black and the production from the Haynesville Shale is anything but development of the lease.

  The people in Gladewater Texas back in the 50's flooded my land that Grandma Becky had purchased in the 1870's by building Lake Gladewater, Granny cashed the escrow checks she received for that land under the waters of the lake.  Lee Raymond and Matthew Clarke requested that my family sign an oil and gas lease in 1980, informing us that the lease probably would never pay out.  When the well that is symbolic of how Exxon-Mobil is a racist and discriminatory to black royalty owners with leases that it operates to produce oil and gas was drilled in 1993 unknowingly to them it confirmed that the two wells at Gladewater Gas Unit #5 had tapped the Bossier-Haynesville Shale with its 20,000,000,000,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas and oil.  The records for the past thirty years from the Texas Railroad Commission expose how the production in Upshur County Texas was favorable to the white royalty owners on the others side of the lake since 1993 when the rules were changed to drill three wells on an lease adjacent to GGU #5.  Even the horizontal implications surfaced when that well was reclassified as an oil well in 2006 but in total disregard for the Covenant was shut in by Exxon-Mobil which evidently paid the delay rentals to the other royalty owners at the lease; we never although owning 1/8 of a 640 acre lease received a dime of the delay rentals for oil or gas.

Why is Exxon-Mobil systematically telling my people we have no rights even though we know the lease is in the middle of the Haynesville Shale?  Why is oil and gas law honored for one group of oil/gas royalty owners, particularly white, in Upshur County Texas by Exxon-Mobil?  Longevity of the lease in front of $95.00 a barrel oil cannot represent the reason Well #2 completed in 1993 which was reclassified as an oil well in 2006 is not producing paying qualities of oil and gas, now.  Every year Exxon-Mobil's profits soar to record levels so why does it have a producing oil/gas lease at Gladewater Gas Unit  #5 in the Bossier-Haynesville Shale which has not been developed in thirty years; Covenant Breaker.

COVER UP: OIL AND EAST TEXAS OIL FIELD

What is my question after learning a few weeks ago that the oil well on a 640 acre oil and gas lease in the Haynesville Oil and Gas Shale in Upshur County Texas operated by

with all its technological advantages would not flow?  The pressure to release oil after 20 years must have lowered against all physical laws, it adjusted to keep the oil right there to eliminate any royalty owner or Exxon-Mobil ever being paid, oil could hit a thousand dollars a barrel; no profit at Gladewater Gas Unit #5, Wells 1 & 2. 

The billions of cubic feet of gas were sold by Exxon-Mobil but no one really thought that oil was in the lease.  I will submit a proposal to drill to interest parties to find the oil and share the profits since Exxon-Mobil is too racist and "New Slavery" to do it.

Ole Rex, he gave the orders to plug the well, a Wichita Falls,Texas redneck who will do anything Lee Raymond tells him to do.  He knew I had filed Notification of Breach of  Covenants in 2011 and that Putin would get checks for the oil and gas in Texas before my family could after thirty years of gas production and with a oil well.

The slave cabins of Upshur County, Texas where my ancestor's won their freedom and purchased land soon after to be eventually denied 143 years later of its promise by a systematic scheme designed by Lee Raymond and signed by Rex T.

The refinery is right around the corner from Gladewater Gas Unit #5, Wells 1&2 and the field is pumping fine but royalty owners money is going to Putin and the Red Mafia's bank accounts.  Exxon-Mobil will plug an oil well in Texas to validate its "New Slavery Doctrine".  The white or black mineral royalty owners must be kept in their places but paying Communist Mafia and its Boss Putin is OK!

Exxon-Mobil: GLADEWATER GAS UNIT #5

No wonder Exxon-Mobil stopped talking to my me and my family in 1989, nine years after the lease came in.............HIGH COST GAS/12,500 feet perfection/90,000,000 cf/month while prorated.  That first well perforated the Haynesville-Bossier Shale but why would the company stop talking to us.  A allegation was rumored that my grandmother had passed away; Exxon-Mobil began its dehumanization of us with its demand for proof of life which we provided with certified documents.  It refused to increase our royalty interest and denied me contact as the family counsel; Why?

The racist intent is evident when the reality of an oil well not pumping oil is on your lease,you are black  in Texas, and your family has owned the land and mineral rights since the 1870's but didn't get a oil/gas lease in the East Texas Oil Field in Upshur County until 1980.  The generation we lost since then did not reap the opportunities of being in the Gladewater Field because we are black.  It is just that simple after examining the production database at the Texas Railroad Commission which confirms that Upshur County is producing billions of cubic feet of gas and millions of barrels of oil.

The development of the Gladewater Field has been spectacular and the realization that Haynesville Shale will keep royalty owners if they are white paid their fair share of the profits off the oil and gas for decades to come. 

  They paid the Russian Mafia the Equity Scheme money but refuse to pay us because we are black.  What about Gladewater Gas Unit #5?
