Chuck what area is the 1920 acre pool in ?  Do you know what the per acre price was ?

Chesapeake agreed to a 1920 acre pool that could contain several well heads shared by the pool members according to acres owned.

Cathy, it doesn't matter if you have the wellhead on your property or not - that doesn't affect royalty.

The simple way to think about it is that everyone in the drilling unit(which for our purposes in talking about horizontal drilling in the Marcellus shale is typically around 640 acres)divides up the revenue from the gas production in proportion to how many acres they own in the drilling unit. Then you take that amount and multiply it by whatever percent royalty you agreed to in your lease contract, and that is what you get paid.

If they drill on your land, you get some kind of compensation for damage to your land, and perhaps free gas, depending on how your contract is worded, but that is all separate from the royalty calculations.

Thank you JT I think that will be able to answer some of my questions.

Does the land owner that the well is drilled on get 15% or a share also?

Comment by Nate on December 16, 2010 at 10:25pm

Depends on how many acres you have in the 640 pie. If you had 64 acres of the unit you would receive 10% of the 15% Royalty. Or 1.5% of the total wells production.

Will someone please take explain how land pooling and royalty

pay out.  If the royalty is 15% and 640 acres are in a pool how does

everyone get paid.

We signed on about the 15th of Sept. as I recall.  Good question about the time - the agreement says 120 days (no qualifiers).  However, we have been verbally assured several times that they intend and (need to for tax reasons) send the $$ before the end of 2010.  Getting close now, so we'll see.
