Free Forever: Shale Game in the East Texas Oil Shale

Whose land is it?



Go back to 1870 in East Texas, Google, now imagine your people owning a land grant.  Its 1980 and the land hasn’t been drilled on for gas or oil. This is the gigantic East Texas oil field with reserves for oil in the billions of barrels and gas in the Bossier-Haynesville Shale in the quadrillions, if you knew that by discovery, Exxon signed our lease knowing this.  A stream tapped into this field, it has been 35 years since the lease Gladewater Gas Unit #5, Wells #1 & #2 in 1981 was operated by what is now Exxon-Mobil has produced the commodities: shale oil and shale gas.  They had to go court or settle in West Texas, laws uncovered their ‘gas value chain’ and it had to pay millions but now it continues to swindle, my last check from Exxon was in 2013 for $0.13. 
This is where New Slavery rears its predatory scheme even after proving the title at the county seat, Gilmer, in Upshur County, Texas.  We have a lease but the white supremacy that controlled the oil and gas in Texas from 1922 thought we were all dead. The deed action sheriff said, “I ain’t never seen no dead people before!” when we went to title building in Gilmer.  In 1982 there were 75 people with deeds to the land that Exxon paid for a title opinion which had to go back to 1870. 
Instead of following oil and gas regulations the price was whatever Exxon prescribed with “field price” being the word or scheme which gatherers tapped the stream process that enabled from processing, marketing, and selling vectors for Exxon to skim off the top every step of the way.
