Exxon-Mobil Breach

WHO IS IN CHARGE?



WHY EXXON-MOBIL BREACHED






I remember the Beverly Hillbillies, poor, found oil in the back forty; moved to Beverly Hills. When my folks got that letter from Exxon-Mobil I was in my early twenties, I just knew our lives would change forever. I am still waiting, many have gone on to the other side, and the wells are shut-in; industry expression for cut off. The mechanisms of the oil and gas industry are complex. The explosive growth of the Company is a dominating force in the U.S.A. because of their merger with Mobil. The collapse of the antitrust laws has produced an Oil/Gas Mafia which is beholden to no law or government regulation. The four majors with all their wealth dominate the Fortune Five Hundred and the price at the pump; gasoline costs more in the middle of a depression. The State of Alabama Case should have open some eyes in that after taking Exxon-Mobil to court and winning $13,000,000,000 as a judgment for fraud and price manipulation; the appeal went Exxon-Mobil’s way and reduced the judgment to $3,000,000,000. The company told the State of Alabama that they had nothing owed them; the arrogance of a corporation against a state was surreal. I contact the winning law firm; we can’t represent because your case is to small be their reply to my request. I felt as though I was in Nigeria; the state owns all the minerals, gas and oil. I knew my chances of winning in Texas were null to void; no royalty owner had won a oil/gas case in the Texas Supreme Court in ten years. No lawyer would face litigation against the Oil/Gas Mafia, definitely not Exxon-Mobil; they own the Texas Supreme Court. My cause is based on the fact that in thirty years of production, over 3,000,000,000 cubic feet of high cost gas, thousands of barrels of oil and condensates; we were paid less than $300.00 and nothing in the limitation strategy was in our favor. The Texas Railroad Commission had always allowed rule changes, proration, and an it’s between us and the Company attitude. All the Texas regulatory bodies are one hundred percent behind the Oil/Gas Mafia and its Kingpin; letters to the US Energy, Justice, Attorney General, and IRS went unnoticed. I don’t want to move to Beverly Hills; I want what is mine and stop being a slave to the Oil/Gas Mafia. I realize that in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Russia where the citizens have no rights or royalties; nothing can be done or spoken about in a situation like mine. This is the USA we have rights and the privileges to go along with it. The government doesn’t own all the minerals, oil, and gas under your ground but evidently the Oil/Gas Mafia think it does; a sad commentary on freedom and being a black man. They can’t just write me a letter, cut off the wells and demand that I prove my Grandmother is not dead; Can they? They just can’t shut-in my wells in the midst of the greatest price explosion in oil and gas history; Can they? It didn’t take me thirty years to know I wasn’t getting paid for the oil and gas; I saw the swindle from the beginning but not one lawyer in Texas would step up to the plate to get paid and fight the Kingpin. Is Exxon-Mobil beyond federal and state laws, think Valdez? Who is in charge of human rights in the oil and gas industry in the United States of America? They are taking food off our tables and no one is speaking up; the Oil/Gas Mafia and the exporters in the Middle East are in conspiracy. Yesterday I received news that the Haynesville Shale which is the field Gladewater Gas Unit #5, my unit, is on top of has gas reserves estimated at 5 Quadrillion cubic feet of Sweet Gas; sounds like enough to wean us from the conspirators, create jobs, end the depression and leave some money in the bank for our destiny as Americans. Why want that happen; think about it.

Our President will be a Hero, we will save the world: again, the politics of oppression and dehumanization will have a real war on its hands. I looked in the mail: a check for $1. 25 from the Company. It is hard times in America; don’t have to be.

Alabama: exxon-mobil owns the court

November 14, 2003
A Montgomery jury orders Exxon Mobil to pay $11.9 billion in fines and damages to the state of Alabama in a dispute over natural gas royalties. The jury found the oil giant guilty of fraud, and levied an $11.8 billion punitive fine in addition to $60 million in damages. An appeal is expected.

The court cut the judgement to less than $4,000,000,000; kingpin gets off cheap.
BP is a major threat; what court is going to cut their payout to America?

OIL/GAS MAFIA: Threats

LONDON – Oil executives sent a strong challenge to Barack Obama on Tuesday, warning at a major oil conference that the American president's ban on risky deepwater drilling would cripple world energy supplies.

As a BP executive standing in for embattled CEO Tony Hayward was heckled by protesters, other industry leaders used the gathering to rally around the British company, arguing that eliminating deepsea rigs in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill was unsustainable.

BP's stock slid to a 13-year-low Tuesday in London, and the oil giant confirmed that Hayward was already in the process of handing over control of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill to managing director Bob Dudley.

Obama slapped a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf as part of his struggle to show that his administration is responding forcefully to the disaster. The decision halted the approval of any new permits for deepwater drilling and suspended drilling at 33 existing exploratory wells in the Gulf.

A federal judge in New Orleans blocked the moratorium on Tuesday, and the White House promised an immediate appeal.

The ban reflects growing unease about oil companies seeking to drill farther out to sea and deeper than ever before. The process is expensive, risky and largely uncharted — but the industry argues it is also necessary in a world where land and shallow water oil supplies are running out.

Transocean Ltd. president and CEO Steven Newman, owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig where an April 20 explosion killed 11 workers and set off the worst oil spill in U.S. history, called the deepwater ban an unnecessary overreaction.

"There are things the administration could implement today that would allow the industry to go back to work tomorrow without an arbitrary six-month time limit," Newman told reporters on the sidelines of the conference in the British capital. "Obviously we are concerned."

Chevron executive Jay Pryor said the U.S. government's move will "constrain supplies for world energy."

"It would also be a step back for energy security," Pryor, global vice president for business development at the U.S. company, told delegates at the World National Oil Companies Congress.

The moratorium was challenged in court by an oil services company, Hornbeck Offshore Services of Covington, Louisiana, which claims the government arbitrarily imposed the moratorium without any proof that the operations posed a threat. A federal judge in New Orleans, Judge Martin Feldman, on Tuesday lifted the moratorium.

Hornbeck, which ferries people and supplies to offshore rigs, says the moratorium could cost Louisiana thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in lost wages.

In addition to the Gulf, there are more than 20 offshore rigs in Britain's North Sea, although they do not operate in waters as deep as the Gulf. Brazil, which sits on the world's potentially largest deepwater oil beds, has no deepwater rigs yet but plans to build 28 rigs in the coming years.

BP chief of staff Steve Westwell, who was heckled as he stood in for Hayward, said "regulators around the world will obviously want to know what happened" to cause the blown-out well in the Gulf and will change their procedures accordingly.

"The world does need the oil and the energy that is going to have to come from deepwater production going forward," Westwell said. "Therefore, the regulatory framework must still enable that to be a viable commercial position."

Westwell was interrupted twice during his address by protesters from Greenpeace shouting "we need to end the oil age!" The hecklers were escorted out of the heavily policed central London hotel by security which also barred an Associated Press photographer from re-entering the conference. Organizers alleged he posed a security threat after talking with protesters.

Pryor was diplomatic when asked if his company would have been as reckless as BP, whose leader Hayward skipped the conference after receiving stinging criticism for watching his yacht compete Saturday off England's Isle of Wight. That outing that drew outrage on the Gulf coast and an acerbic response from the White House.

"There's no zero probability for everybody in this room," Pryor said. "There's always going to be that one chance in 10 million there's an accident. Just like the nuclear and airline industries."

The blown-out BP undersea well has already leaked more than 120 million gallons of oil into the Gulf, according to the most pessimistic U.S. government estimates. Oil has been washing up from Louisiana to Florida, killing birds and fish and coating marshes, wetlands and beaches. A pair of relief wells considered the best chance at a permanent fix won't be completed until August.

Stock in BP traded as low as 333 pence ($4.95) on Tuesday in London, the weakest since February 1997. The shares closed 4.4 percent lower at 334.20 pence. The company has lost about half its value since the rig exploded.

Hayward is currently still overseeing the response to the spill but he is gradually transferring responsibility to Dudley, a 54-year-old American who lost out to Hayward on the CEO's slot three years ago, BP PLC spokesman Jon Pack said.

"The transition is happening right now," he said.

Dudley will still report to Hayward, whom BP has said needs to focus on running the company. Shukri Ghanem, the head of Libya's National Oil Corp. who serves as the North African nation's de facto oil minister, also came to BP's defense, saying he was happy the company operated in his country. BP has onshore operations and shallow water rigs in Libya.

Ghanem, who said he planned to meet with Hayward in London, said the spill is "a real tragedy, but in a way it's exaggerated."

"It is unfortunate, but it is an opportunity to be more careful in the future," he said.

BP signed an exploration and production deal with Libya's National Oil Co. — worth at least $900 million — in June 2007, sending the company back into Libya for the first time in more than 30 years. Libya's proven oil reserves are the ninth largest in the world, while vast areas remain unexplored for new deposits.

Libya has said it plans to start deep water drilling in the Mediterranean "pretty soon."

Some believe the oil industry may be crying wolf. Many analysts say the continued strength of oil prices, which have mostly fluctuated between $70 and $85 over the past months, can be attributed to excessive speculation in the futures market. In reality, there has been a slow recovery of oil demand since the global credit squeeze and there are huge stockpiles of crude and refined products in the United States.

The International Energy Agency expects oil demand to rise less than previously expected this year, cutting it forecasts last month by a daily 220,000 barrels, to 86.4 million barrels a day.

Outside the London conference, Greenpeace protester Emma Gibson called on BP to end its investment in a controversial Canadian tar sands project and end deepwater drilling.

"We really need to speed up progress to end the oil age," Gibson told reporters.

Westwell said Hayward was "genuinely sorry" not to be at the conference, where he had been due to give a keynote address on about the global responsibilities of international oil companies.

"He and I both hope you understand his schedule is under incredible pressure at the moment," Westwell told delegates.

When questioned about Hayward's position and whereabouts, Westwell said "he is the CEO" and added Hayward was in London attending to other company matters.

The bottom line is whether or not this threat should be taken seriously. The oil/gas mafia has lost its mind; greed has blinded their identity. It believes that what happens to the world is secondary to the profit line. It would be nice if all their drilling operations were put on hold; show of who is in charge . OIL/GAS MAFIA ain't running nothing!

Oil/Gas Mafia: America's Real Threat

Oil/Gas Mafia holds U.S. Energy Hostage
The fate of America is in the balance while oil and gas wells are shut-in in major oil and gas fields. Who is in charge?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 15, 2009 – The news that quadrillions of cubic feet of gas had been discovered should have reverberated through out the halls of power; a way out of the depression. The Department of Energy would step up its role as savior reminiscent of East Texas Oil Fields winning World War II. This is a war to save our destiny and keep freedom's bell ringing; the fate of civilization is in our hands. The politicization of oil and gas has ramifications for the 2012 Presidential Election; we use the oil and gas he, President Obama, will be re-elected. If we don't utilize this vast energy source we continue this downward spiral to oblivion. The rejuvenation of America is at stake while the Oil/Gas Mafia holds our, the American People's, resources hostage. Who is in charge? Why hasn't the impact of oil and gas been identified in our national agenda? Who will have the courage to write the New National Energy Plan; the Department Of Energy has no vision or concern for the destiny of America. The Oil/Gas Mafia runs that branch of the U.S. government and controls our resources;, when we can utilize them. We don't go out without a fight; whose side is the Oil/Gas Mafia on? Can it punk the U.S. Government like it punked the State of Alabama over their oil and gas? While we suffer and die for freedom the Oil/Gas Mafia breaks profit records and insures that the oil will keep being imported from the East. Who is in charge I ask again; what about the salvation of our nation?

Exxon-Mobil: Klu Klux Klan connection

We think the war is over; the Civil War. It is not. It has taken on a new and vicious form, in my opinion; Exxon-Mobil. It was years after gas and oil was found on Grandma Becky's land in Upshur County, Gladewater, Texas that I realized what is really happening. When the East Texas Oil Field was discovered in 1931, the Klu Klux Klan routed all the blacks from their land by buying their titles or killing them. That's right, the people in Gladewater made all the uniforms for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. They were the straight good ole boys; licking their wounds. The 700 acres Grandma Becky owned title, lock, stock and barrel is in the center of the East Texas Oil Field geographically, the black sharecroppers and her family met the wrath of the crooked lawyers and the Klu Klux Klan. By the time oil and gas was discovered by Exxon-Mobil in 1980 on what is now Gladewater Gas Unit #5, Wells 1 & 2, which has subsequently produced billions of cubic feet of gas and millions of barrels of oil in the last thirty years, the title opinion had to be cured. The claimants came out of the wood-works; my grandmother is a true heir to the oil and gas, may she rest in peace. They had warranty deeds, Sheriff deed's, titles, wills, adverse possessions, probated wills, and they didn't get the oil and gas lease. This is how the game works; Exon-Mobil tells us that the well want pay off for a number of years, it costs millions to create, most wells dry up in five to eight years, this is producing thirty years later, they unitize the whole city of Gladewater, Texas, cut our production, shut-in our wells, and act like they don't know that the high cost gas coming from the wells was not selling for $20.00 a thousand cubic fee in 1981. They tell me it was $2.00 a thousand cubic feet and we will profit after the well is paid off; based on the five to eight year life expectancy scenario, we get nothing. They didn't know this well perforated the mother-lode of oil and gas in the East Texas Oil Field; it want go away. The Haynesville Field structure in the Cotton Valley Lime is causing excitement in the East Texas Oil Field right now as I write. The wells were producing until recently but their is no production data going to the Texas Rairoad Commission; why would the wells be shut-in now? The fact is that after gas comes oil, Exxon-Mobil is making us an example; the new KLu Klux Klan in business suits and skyscrapers. They can't threaten us, with the whip and guns; they just breach the contract and dare anyone to protect our rights as royalty owners. Their influence goes all the way to Washington, D.C. because my Congressman want address the issue, the Department of Energy want address the issue, the Treasury Department want address the issue, the Department of Interior want address the issue, the IRS want address the issue; it would stir up a massive fraud investigation against the good ole boys in Upshur County, Texas and the East Texas Oil Field.. It is a throw back to the Jim-Crow days when the Klu Klux Klan killed so many of us black people, FREE Americans, but now they are killing my destiny. The City of Gladewater put a lake over much of our land, left my Granny the escrow; there will be no wells on this land; their sick logic. There is a grave in a cemetery in Upshur, County, Gladewater, Texas with a headstone of my Grandma Becky, it has been defaced; ' A WHITE WOMAN WHO LOVED NIGGERS'. If I was of European descent this would not be happening, my family would be wealthy; the Exxon-Mobil aka Klu Klux Klan is STILL IN EFFECT. I bet President Obama will do something; anybody have his cell number

No Royalty for the Black Man

When I look back on the production in this play, it makes me wonder what Lee and Matthew did when the oil and gas lease was pushed on us in 1981. I know Lee became CEO for Exxon, Matthew, I know nothing about since those days. I can not get any definitive data on the royalty brake down because it is information that only a lawyer can get from exxon, so I am told. Upshur county is the key, they provided the deed information for the title cure; more than 300 people came forth as heirs to the Rebbeca Allen Estate, even the sheriff had deed's. It was a mess. But this is how Upshur County parlayed: land swindle.

A lot of people got rich, Gladewater Gas Unit #5, a high cost gas well, paid out bonus's but Exxon want tell how much because my royalty number is so low. Upshur county sold us out; Exxon put the fix in from the start. We were told that the gas was selling for $1 to $2 per thousand cubic feet; it really was $14 per thousand cubic feet going straight to the Henry Hub.

Texas Railroad Commission: Impotent

What are they good for in this war; nothing. When Exxon-Mobil shut my wells in during the 2007-2008 price explosion they didn't even bat a eye. I asked them could I file a Breach of Contract through their office they hung up on me. Why a Breach of Contract? The operator Exxon-Mobil has not acted in good faith, shut-in royalties have not been paid, development of the oil at well two hasn't happened, did not pay fair market value of the gas or oil since 1981, and will not negotiate to increase my royalty percentage. The TRC is ineffective and powerless the Kingpin.

Upshur Land Swindle

Exxon-Mobil: Oil/Gas Mafia Kingpin

It is not over yet by a long shot, I'm going federal on this predator. The unidentified taxpayer's getting paid off my gas at Gladewater Gas Unit #5 ought to stir up some responses from this crook, the company. Lawyers run and turn tail when the company's name is mentioned; what kind of lawyer is chickened hearted enough to run? When that 600 acres of land was modified and produced all these royalty owner's after oil was found in East Texas makes me wonder was it legal while the name on the deed's changed? I'm going to delve into that aspect of this fraud; I don't think the Title is cured for Gladewater Gas Unit #5 and the Fed's can find out better than I can, right. It is just the fact that we are not being paid a fair price for the oil and gas that bothers me and I am not stopping at the Supreme Court of Texas.

BP

One joke out is that BP stands for Broken Pipe; crooks. The environmental collapse of the Gulf is a Tragedy. BP needs to be charged big time.

Upshur County, Texas Swindle: Gladewater Gas Unit #5

I have been told that there are two sets of rules for who gets rich from oil/gas; if you white you get paid righteously in Texas, if you black you don't get nothing. I inherited land with oil,condensates and gas under it, signed a lease with Exxon-Mobil, in the thirty years of production which by the way has yielded over 4,000,000,000 cubic feet of high-cost gas and thousands of barrels of oil and condensates, I haven't received a thousand dollars from the fair market value of these commodities. I tried lawyers but they say the litigation is not worth their time; its not big enough a case. I asked the Texas Rail Road Commission to help to no avail; they create and enforce the rules and regulations for oil, condensates and gas in Texas. The fact that no royalty owner has won a case in ten years at the Supreme Court of Texas precluded me from even thinking about going to court. I thought slavery was over. The black man is free; right. When the slave owners would cut off limbs if a slave was caught with money must still be in effect but its not limbs they are cutting off now it is destiny's. While the people who own the land can be white and profit next door; a black man in the same field has to beg and wait to get paid, in the case of Exxon-Mobil it is never. The boom of 2007 which saw oil,condensates and gas prices reach historic levels my unit, Gladewater Gas Unit #5 in Upshur County, Texas was shut-in and my division order check was $3.00 all the time the rest of the field owners, who are white became wealthy, the city of Gladewater, that old Confederate bastion got theirs, and Exxon-Mobil broke records for making money from oil, condensates and gas. I got charged for having oil,condensates and gas under my land; oil/gas mafia can't be stopped. That's the American way, keep a black man down, no matter what the cost, the media is on the oil/gas mafia's side: is that right?

Kingpin

They hit gas on my land in 1980; we got royalty checks coming in the mail. Its 2010 with oil/gas coming from our land, over 4,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas and thousands of barrels of condensates and the royalty checks add up to less than $500; no lawyer will take the case. The Kingpin has put fear into the oil/gas lawyers here in Texas, it runs the Texas Supreme Court, the Secretary of Energy has no authority over it, it is the $248,000,000,000 dollar predator; Exxon Mobil. I call it Kingpin because it breached my oil/gas lease from 1980 to 2010 and gave all the lawyers a deal they could not refuse.
