In 2008 we signed a five-year lease with the option for a five-year extension. In January the first five-year lease expired and much to our surprise we haven't heard anything about extending the lease for another five years. We are going to hire an attorney to review our lease but wanted to know if anyone else has already been through this. What steps do we need to take now to get our gas/oil rights back on the market for re-leasing?

Our property is located in Clinton County, north of Renovo, PA.

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks.
