Heard today from a property owner in eastern Beaver County that had just been approached by Range to renew a lease about to expire. The offer was for $500, 14%, 5 years with a 3 year extension.

That is consist with what I have seen and heard about.

Is there big pressure to sign?

I don't know, but will follow-up. Please review the lease and get the addendums you feel are important in there now. If they really are pressured, maqbe you can get more protection in this version.
http://www.naturalgas.psu.edu if you haven't checked it out already has lease contract info in the "Publications" tab.

Hope every saw the Range class action settlement in the Post Gazette almost $29,000,000??? !!

What is going on with that?

I saw and read that story. I wish the writer would have disclosed how they found Range shortchanging its leaseholders. Someone (attorney general?) must have reviewed their books. $29,000,000 is a lot of money considering they just posted a $9,000,000 second quarter profit.

Any activity near Potter Twp?

Looks like the Mt. Jackson group has negotiated a deal with Chesapeake that includes Potter.  I'm checking it out now.  $2,350 bonus and 15% gross royalty, minus fees to Co-eXprise.  I don't know what the fees to Co-eXprise will be - does anyone know???

Since i got slammed on my last post on the Mt Jackson grp situation I will refrain from posting what I know. However I will tell you that at least one member of the group is upset because he tells me that Co-exprise wasn't supposed to collect any fees unless the members received $3,000 or more per acre....according to the original agreement. Call my friend a liar, but that is what he claims.

Hopefully someone else in the know will post the absolute truth about the situation.

I hear there are 3 meetings scheduled sometime in the next two weeks.

I spoke to a rep at Co-eXprise this morning.  He did not mention anything about the $3,000 acre minimum (no surprise there), but indicated that folks signing up now will be charged 8% of the bonus and 5% of the royalties, versus folks who signed up earlier (5% of the bonus and 0% of royalties).  Still sounds like a decent offer.  I'm just taking this offer at face value without preconcieved notions of what's what.  Adjusted for the 8% fee, the sign-up bonus works out to $2,162 per acre, and the royalty would be 14.25% of gross. 

How does that compare to what is actively being offered in Beaver Co.?

8% and 5% is nuts. go straight to the companies and you will get a better deal.

Think abut whether you need anyone to make your deal for you.  Someone may be making a lot of money.  Is there a cap on how much these guys make?

There is some debate about the fees. Co-eXprise's agreement states they get paid a percentage "upon the completion of a Negotiation Event."   A separate clause states that should negotiations result in a bonus of $3000/acre with a 17% royalty and agreeing to the lease language or "a revised lease agreement that captures the substance of the attached sample lease agreement" than the Owner agrees to execute the agreement.

 

This means that the owner agrees to sign should those three stipulations be met. Co-eXprise gets paid their commission if someone agrees to sign any offer that they have negotiated, even if it falls below those stipulations. But the owner has the option to not sign.

 

Thats the first I heard about three more meetings being scheduled
