What were they looking for?
The oil industry to shut down and move away from their house?
Millions of oil dollars so they could move away?
They are getting checks from the oil field. Keep the place, keep receiving the checks and move somewhere else.
They were looking for the courts to award them with a lot of money without presenting any evidence in their case. They also admit to having pre-existing conditions.
