<p>Farm Bureau Opposes HB 4639 and SB 646<br/><br/>West Virginia Farm Bureau strongly opposes HB 4639 and SB 646. After months of good faith negotiations, the oil and gas industry has abandoned its commitment to support legislation providing fair treatment of mineral and surface owners. HB 4639 and SB 646 strip away the ability of mineral and surface owners to negotiate a fair leasing agreement with reasonable compensation and sensible protection of their land. Further, land and mineral owners subject to forced pooling will no longer have recourse against companies that abuse the process, nor will they be paid by the oil and gas companies for their minerals. Instead, they will be forced to sue lessees within the pool for their rightful share of royalties, creating a nightmare for the West Virginia judicial system.<br/><br/>These bills also attempt to fool the public by changing terminology from ‘forced pooling’ to ‘co-tenancy reform,’ creating the illusion of protecting the property owners of West Virginia. Nothing could be further from the truth. Once again, land and mineral owners in the Mountain State will be left out in the cold while out-of-state corporations reap massive profits.<br/><br/>West Virginia Farm Bureau acknowledges the expansion of oil and gas resources are important for the future of West Virginia, but such development must be done in a way that is fair to all parties, and allows the owners of those resources to be justly compensated and protected in the process.</p>

<p><strong>The bill is now off of the agenda for the House Judiciary Committee this week thanks in large part to the efforts of Delegate <em>Pat McGeehan</em>. Please take the time to thank Pat. He told the House Speaker that he is prepared to speak for hours on the landowners behalf to stop the bill. But make no mistake, the fight is not over as there are plenty of votes to pass the bill if we the public don't speak up and make it clear that we will not have our property rights…</strong></p>

<p><strong>On the other hand, these two members of the Senate (Craig Blair and Mitch Carmichael) need to hear from those of us that oppose the bill as they have indicated that <em>they don't mind the bill as it helps the Oil and Gas industry</em>. But at what cost -- <em>the cost of the rights of private landowners and their negotiating power.</em></strong></p>
