<p>Everybody who has a lease with Montage/Eclipse, be sure to check your July statement. They took 97% in deductions from my property in Ohio this month. You read that correctly: ninety-seven percent of my royalties were deducted.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I own a couple of parcels on which I have received bonuses. They are not drilled. I have received an offer to sell them. Research seems to indicate wells are drilled all around this Wetzel county area, so I'm wondering if I should hold them. My question is: for a 1/8 share lease, what should I expect in royalties from a well that initially produces, say, 3,000 mmcf/day.

My question is: for a 1/8 share lease, what should I expect in royalties from a well that initially produces, say, 3,000 mmcf/day. I understand the decline curve, but wonder how many dollars one would expect the first year from this hypothetical well. Any advice from a fellow landowner with experience would be very much appreciated.</p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">On June 30, the Department of the Interior published the final version of its new regulatory framework for collecting royalties from fossil fuel extraction projects on public lands. The revised system will assess owed royalties based on the first sale from the original extractor to an independent buyer. The changes were prompted by allegations that fossil fuel companies were selling fuels to their own subsidiaries or an affiliated company in order to artificially lower the products' market value and, in turn, their federal royalty payments. Interior Secretary Jewell commented that the new rules were "urgently needed to better align our regulatory framework with a 21st century energy marketplace . . . [and ensure] that the American taxpayer receives every dollar due for the production of these domestic energy resources."</span></p>

<p>After years of steadily rising prices, “low-cost fuel” may seem like an oxymoron.</p>
<p>But thanks to a steady surge in domestic oil and gas production, energy experts say consumers could enjoy inexpensive gasoline and natural gas for years to come.</p>
<p>MAP MASTER“The outlook is for a low-cost energy economy in the U.S.,” said Daniel Fine, associate director of the New Mexico Center for Energy Policy, which is run by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro. “This is a long-term trend, not an isolated event, and it’s something almost revolutionary.”</p>
<p>The country’s newfound oil and gas boom, made possible by modern drilling technologies, has helped keep gasoline prices well below the $4-per-gallon peaks that consumers faced just a few years ago. It’s also driven home-heating bills to record lows since 2009.</p>
<p>Now, with production still climbing fast, Fine and others say natural-gas prices will remain moderately low for another five to 10 years at least. And gasoline prices likely will continue to fall into 2014, before stabilizing at somewhere above $2 per gallon for the foreseeable future.</p>
<p>“I believe gasoline will reach $2.35 a gallon or less quite soon, within a year at most,” Fine said</p>

<p>The problem with that claim is that it focuses on a tax favored by Schwartz that would not hit regular Pennsylvanians, but would force wealthy gas industry robber barons from places like Texas to pay a gas extraction tax they already must pay in every major gas-producing state — <i>except</i> Pennsylvania.</p>
<div id="article-promo" class="left"><hr class="hr-promo"/><a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/traffic/alerts/mc-traffic-alerts-blurb,0,38477.blurb" target="_blank" id="articlePromoLink" name="articlePromoLink">» <b>The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone.</b> Click to sign up to receive text alerts!</a><hr class="hr-promo"/></div>
<br/>
<p>I generally avoid writing about partisan contests because I have nothing but contempt for the wholly corrupt two-party monopoly. Corbett's latest missive, however, is so offensive it cannot be ignored.</p>
<p>"Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz's proposal to drastically increase taxes on the shale gas industry will cost Pennsylvanians good-paying, middle class jobs by forcing the industry to relocate to more business and energy friendly states," the Corbett campaign bellowed.</p>
<p>"Gov. Corbett has consistently stood with the middle class in his efforts to create jobs, grow our economy and responsibly use our natural resources while protecting the environment," the press release said. "Pennsylvania is fortunate enough to have a booming natural gas industry to help lead the charge in lowering energy costs … and creating over 130,000 new opportunities for Pennsylvanians to return to work."</p>
<p>Oh, really? Let's start with Corbett's marvelous job-creation program.</p>
<p>As I reported in May, data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed Pennsylvania was in seventh place in the nation regarding job growth when Corbett took office in 2011. By this year, the state was in 49th place, surpassing only Wyoming, where job growth depends partly on the number of cowpokes giddyapping around.</p>
<p>The best job growth was in Texas, perhaps thanks in part to Corbett's lavish assistance to the industrial interests there. Texas had an increase of 322,600 jobs while Pennsylvania, under Corbett, <i>lost</i> 1,800. In the meantime, Corbett chopped around $1 billion in funding for education.</p>
<p>Also in the meantime, Corbett engineered the Marcellus Shale Law, which provided for meager "impact fees" instead of a meaningful "severance tax" on gas extractions (the approach favored by Schwartz).</p>
<p>That law also forced municipalities to allow the Texas gas industry robber barons to drill in all zoning areas, even residential, using the environmentally devastating hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process.</p>
<p>And don't think the robber barons were not grateful. They filled Corbett's coffers with more than $2 million in so-called political campaign contributions.</p>
<p>Schwartz, by the way, is a strong supporter of the gas industry if it is regulated and taxed properly, as am I. So how much money did the gas industry robber barons send her way? According to Pennsylvania Common Cause, it was $5,500 during the same period.</p>
<p>No other politicians come close to Corbett, but the national Common Cause organization said others across the nation also received big contributions from fracking interests, including western Pennsylvania Congressman <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PEPLT004742" title="Timothy F Murphy" href="http://www.mcall.com/topic/politics/government/timothy-f-murphy-PEPLT004742.topic" name="PEPLT004742">Tim Murphy</a> ($275,499) and Sen. <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PEPLT006645" title="Patrick J. Toomey" href="http://www.mcall.com/topic/politics/government/patrick-j.-toomey-PEPLT006645.topic" name="PEPLT006645">Pat Toomey</a>, who is from the Lehigh Valley ($160,750).</p>
<p>The Schwartz proposal for a 5 percent gas severance tax indeed would have a significant impact.</p>
<p>The Corbett campaign was responding to a report, released Wednesday by Schwartz, that said such a tax would have raised $612 million in the state's 2013-14 budget year alone, and that would increase to more than $2 billion a year a decade from now.</p>
<p>Would that, as Corbett claims, chase gas-drilling jobs out of Pennsylvania? Where would they go? To West Virginia, which also has a 5 percent severance tax? To Oklahoma, where it's 7 percent, or maybe to Texas, where it's 7.5 percent?</p>
