In my opinion it would only make the properties more attractive to the gas companies if they are large enough to contain a drilling unit without the inclusion of any state land, which is usually 640 plus/minus acres. So those bordering state land with small parcels are pretty much out of luck unless they already have leases in force on which drilling activity has already begun.

I believe the ban only applies to state owned property where the state owns the oil & gas rights.  I don`t believe it applies to state owned property where someone other then the state owns the oil & gas rights.  Is this a correct assumption?

I am not sure what happens if someone else owns the oil & gas rights and the state retains the surface rights??
