Current Events/News Releases

Today Carrizo Oil & Gas announced that it is entering the Utica Shale Play by way of a Joint Venture with Avista Capital Partners. There are 15,000 acres involved and Carrizo is paying $1,500 per  acre for ONLY 10% interest. You do the math. What would the value per acre be for 100% interest?

Note: The sponsors of the bill are all Democrats - the same party behind the tree-hugging USEPA, who by the way, wants to snuff out fracking. If that happens, ciao to horizonal drilling and your future gas/oil royalties. Remember, come November.

HISTORY REPEATS ITS SELF !!! The Windfall profits tax that screwed landowners by as much as 60%. A Carter Idea!  Senators  John Glenns Aid in a Zanesville meeting in front or orate landowners stated " Mr. Glenn did not know what he was voting on"  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Nothing says capitalism more than a bunch of Beltway insiders determining profits.

The Windfall Profit Tax was advertised at hitting the oil companies which it never did in the final product stage it was a tax at the well head where land owners were taxed as much as 60% upon their royalties!

There are signed leases in Ohio that have a clause that makes the Driller responsible for all such taxes. Hopefully, the clause is iron clad and it will actually protect the landowner if/when a Windfall Profit Tax law is passed.

The WPT was a Federal Law to my knowledge it trumped everything, I might be wrong, anyone experience the WPT  in the 80s I had.
