> All of that has changed with increased Exxon activity in the area. "When I moved out here 30 years ago, the land mineral rights were leased by Exxon and there was an existing natural gas well at the entrance to my property." Lemon said. "There was a large cylinder with fire going through it. I was told that the gas field was almost depleted at that time. "

So this guy took someone's word for it that the Exxon activity was winding down. Hard to think of a better example of why one should never buy land without the mineral rights.
