Leases Offered in Noble County

I'm new to "gomarcellusshale", as well as new to this business.  We have a 152 acre farm with "Clinton" gas wells which supply our needs.

We've been approached by Fossil Creek Energy Corp (FCEC) for $50/acre, 12.5% Royalty, and $10,000 if a well is drilled.  We are sitting on the Utica Strata.  I've carefully read the lease and am very suspicious of the terms.  We are consulting attorneys.  I don't see any members from Noble County..and some interesting notes from Guernsey which lead me to suspect the FCEC lease.  Can they broker a lease after signing "cheap"?

We have news of ARTEX Oil offering leases in our County, they're out of Marietta.  Any comment on FCEC, ARTEX, and my suspicions would be welcomed!

How does Mr Mosser's lease look?  Does it look like a good deal for the land owner?  Besides the money part just curious if the lease is land owner friendly as i know some of them are not.  Thank you

The 20% royalties is yours ,the lawyer fees are payed by Shell  . This land group was started by  a   young farmer Matt Crislip  and his hard working friends  give credit to them ,I call it the Matt Crislip group.

Hey Paul,

Is the signing being held at the S.E. Equipment training facility out by my road?  If it is, I may have to drive up there & see how crowded it actually is...

Hello Paul,

 

I am not in your group but would like to ask some questions pertaining to location and who they are willing to take based on townships etc.  Is there a person or number i can call?  Thanks,

Sawtooth, Are you referring to KWGD? This discussion is getting confusing! Are we talking Guernsey or Noble here?
