Understand this. Although the gas drilling company isn't trying to "stick it to you", leases are drawn up to favor the company. For example; many leases have an extension clause whereby the lease automatically renews after the primary term ends... At the same price, or less.

A properly written addendum can change that to give the company the right to match the offer of another company, if the value of the lease increases. Do you hunt? Perhaps you don't want drilling activites during deer season. That should also be in your addendum.
