Potter-McKean

This is the PA side of what was formerly the 4-County Group which was also comprised of NY counties Allegany and Cattaraugus.  Still working together to achieve optimum leasing results, at this time NY Gov. Cuomo continues to keep the Southern Tier out of the running.  4-County is working w/Snowbelt on the NY side, and striving solely for Potter-McKean members on the PA side ... hence 2 names for 1 Group.See More

"You're absolutely correct that a Letter of Surrender is needed, but your form has a couple glitches.  Can the tracking number be written in after one has rec'd a receipt for a certified letter?  I would suggest never including…"

"Jon, More companies are interested in McKean- Potter than you can imagine.  Interest was sparked @ the NAPE meetings  (first one in Houston for all shale plays and 2nd one in Pittsburgh just for  Marcellus/Utica).  Out of…"

" Jack,  I do not agree w/your assumption that prices will be lower than they were for the Marcellus a few years ago. Remember they began @$3 AC and soared to $500 AC. 4-County has established the opening bid in the thousands for…"

"Small Groups = more independent manageability, better negotiation possibilities. Also - with 'organizing' - would it be wisest to also set up discussions on HOW to 'handle' any monies...such as how to prepare for trust situations…"

"GG, As I've stated before, the way to deal with old leases is to wait like the cat waiting for the mouse. Sooner or later the o&g companies will come around and ask for an amendment to the lease. Land owners should say no and ask for a…"

"GG, Land owners may not be able to rid themselves of old leases, but there may be ways to re-negotiate them. Some of us are working on this issue for land owners."

To protect the environment, maximize the benefits, pay-outs, and lifestyle protections of OGM holders & their neighbors in a four county region, I initiated and continue to coordinate the 4-County Leasing Group ...

A public that understands the nature of this business will make good choices.
