With respect to natural gas - I think it is more about where the assets are located.  For the mineral or gas owner, their assets are the minerals or gas plus the value of the land and home.  For others - the individual may be located…

Flooding and Private Wells - If your private well has been flooded and inudated with water

Thumbnail
I go to a lot of meetings and the citizens are always concerned about how the Marcellus Drilling might impact the groundwater aquifer, but we all seem to forget about these flooding events that most likely have a more cummulative negative impact on the environment and our health.  If your private well has been inudated  with water and possibly submerged, you will need to take the following action: 1. Make sure the power is off the the well and check the electrical connections.  The well is…See More

The problem is politics - as a secondary page ok - but how about a site with the facts so citizens could make good judgments and educate their local representative.

The testing for a company varies some 1000 feet some further out.  Also, the parameters are not all the same and in some cases you may want to supplement the baseline they do. I live in Luzerne County, PA and I conduct workshops, eduation…

What has been your experience in the Marcellus Shale?
I recently reviewed a lease for someone selling a property and the lease was so poorly done, it significantly impacted the potential sale value of the parcel.

Hey Brian...let me know how we can help! I'm traveling quite a bit across the Marcellus play and working closely with clients who are looking for information on what you have to offer.

Yeah I know, but its about 6 miles north of me. I guess Im just getting impatient. Been hearing about this stuff now for two and a half years. Land has been leased about two miles west of me-(across the county line). I even got a pipeline cutting across my farm. Oh well maby in time!

Hi Brian,
I just joined this site today and learned about your ongoing course "Oil and Natural Gas Completion Course." Is there anyway myself and some other people in my firm would be able to join or is it too late? Perhaps we could get the back material that we have missed? We provide gas lease valuations for estate planning purposes and we are always trying to further educate ourselves.

Thank you in advance for your reply!

I'm scheduled to be out of town at the moment, but that sounds like a very good opportunity. I really appreciate that Brian. Let me give that some thought and get back to you on it.

I will also send you and Ryan the e-mail I promised this weekend I hope. I've been swamped as I'm sure everyone has! Hope all is well.
