Updated November 8, 2011
This webpage is a little over a year old. During this time frame oil and gas leasing
offers have increased significantly.
As of November 8, 2011 the signing bonus has increased to $5350-$5800 with the royalty percentage at 20 % gross. Leases are being signed by several companies. The best lease terms are being realized by the landowner groups that offer their acreage through a competitive bidding process. I personally believe the money offers will continue to increase with time. The highest offers occur when landowners pool their land into contiguous units.
Presumably, all are aware that Chesapeake recently leveraged 25% of their leaseholds in
Eastern Ohio for $15,000 per acre by forming a JV with an undisclosed oil major.

Josh,
If this Marquette Exploration is the company you are dealing with, it is not likely they have the experience to explore and develop the Marcellus/Utica to its potential; unless they have joint venture partner with drilling experience.
I have been told that marquette is working for Exxon. That would kind of make sense to me. Exxon is as big as it gets in the oil industry. With the Buell well rumored to be producing up to 2500 barrels of oil per day why not.
who had the foresight to see this coming? I attended the meeting in Wintersville,wow is all I can say. Lease addendums were not very good, 1280ACRE UNITS,limited pugh clause,non guarantee. This was just another cherry pick. How does Marquette buy this when they are rumored to be acquired?
The lease is the most important,limit your formations to the Utica,reserve the rest for future plays.
Would you sell all your coal or just the seam to be mined?
Thank pancakes and only sell the ones with the maple flavoring,hold[reserve] the butter and most of the stack
how's life Al, their r movements in Harrison and Guernsey, Jefferson and Carroll as we all know. Why do you think theseattorneys are leading landowners to take money over lease language?
Greed is strange character, in the long run when money is the driving force proper planing and ethics get left out.
Would you sign a lease that gives away all depths?
Would you sign a lease with a 1280 unit max or a 640unit max?
Would you sign a lease that was not guaranteed[exception title failure]?
Curious for your thoughts as well as all others.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
