It was a very nice event - Great…

OK,

Its getting close to signing time. We have been talking with Shell/Long (with some frustrations) since last summer and we are getting close to a deal (I think). We have property about 20 miles east of the Ohio line and right on the Mercer/Lawrence co. line about 3 miles from the Grove City Outlet malls. 

The big questions are.

1 - Are we wet or dry gas? So we know our negotiating clout. 

2 - Who else should we be talking…

 "Getting the Waters Tested - An Industry Perspective" - PIOGA Winter Conference - Feb. 8, 2012.

At the winter conference, I presented a shortened version of my 3 hour training course and discussion regarding the development of the Marcellus Shale and issues or concerns related to water quality and private wells.

I signed a marcellus lease with Tanglewood Exploration for my 127 acres in Greene County.  All was good until they put the well/frac pit on my property and will not pay me for it as the lease states.  The lease states:  If the well/frac pit are on any part of your property you get paid.  Tanglewood is saying that the site is only on 80% of my property and want to deduct 20% of the payment.  They won't even pay me for the trees they cut!  Needless to say, I would never sign a lease with this…

If you plan to collect a water sample prior to drilling to document the quality of your water, there are certain things you should know about the protocol you must follow to make your water sample admissible in court.  I found to articles related to water sampling.  The first one explains when and how you should have your water tested.  The information came from a website called.  WATERCHECK.COM.  I also found some advice posted by the Ohio State University Extension Office.  The information…

  Has anyone signed a lease with NELA?  That is anyone on this site.

We own mineral rights in Windham Township under 194.06 acres and have been talking to Talisman for over 6 months about leasing our rights and now we are in a holding pattern.  They have leased abutting land and most of the land surrounding ours yet are stalling on finalizing our lease.  We have a Bonus Money amount and Royalty amount agreed upon.  Budget concerns seem to be the Talisman position.  Now I read that Chesapeake is taking over Talisman leases in Litchfield Township which are in…

   Has anyone in the georgetown area been contacted about leasing their land? We have 24 acres above Georgetown and are curious to know what a lease in that area is worth. We were contacted a while ago by a landman but the offer was so low that we didn't respond. In our area which is Beaver county leases are going for about 3200 to 38oo with a 20% royalty.I'm new to this site so please bear with me.
