Utica Leasing Offer in Greene County

Hello Everyone, my family and I own some land in Springhill Township that was recently leased for Marcellus production. Shortly afterwards we were contacted by the same company with a Utica lease offer that was substantially lower. Without disclosing specifics, I was wondering if anyone has leased the Utica rights and if so, what is a fair price. Our offer was less than two thousand per acre. Thanks!
John

Make sure to get a statement (Clause) stating that Leasee acknowledges Lessor has a Marcellus Lease. I can see lawsuits over this. In order to drill Utica they will drill through Marcellus at the pad. Perhaps a non surface Clause would suffice. As always get competent legal advice.
