Anyone recently sign a lease in Greene County?

Our lease is up in September and was wondering what the going rate may be?  I've been hearing that most people are being lowballed?

No ours expires in about a week and haven't heard from EQT.  Spoke with Lola and their offer was not even close to what I would settle for.

If you would please keep me updated as I still have 10 months on mine,but I was already informed from E.Q.T. that they were going to let it go.

Mother doesn't your lease state that if they take that 3 year extension that they have to pay the same bonus as they paid in the beginning?  Ours does.

Yes Dott that's what it says.  I doubt they will go for that.  Would you happen to know if they have taken the 3 year extension on other?  I think they will either cut us loose or want to re-negotiate for less.

Mother, I do not know about any extensions either way.  I am not a lawyer but I don't know if they can legally re negotiate for less since you have a contract. I know this waiting to find out what will happen is difficult. I am in the same boat but in a different area and with a different company. Just have faith it will turn out as it is supposed to.

The lease pretty much says they either sign for exactly the same terms as the last 5 years or cut us loose.  I look for them to cut us loose.  I agree...what will be will be...

Jackson Twp offered $5500/acre signing bonus, but to lease Marcellus + Utica is worth much more.

I live in Jackson Twp.& have done so for many years can't say I have heard tell of you. Where is your property located at? I have a current lease with E.Q.T. thanks to them buying out Rice. It is set to expire soon & was informed by E.Q.T. that they intend to let it expire.

EQT wants everything they can get free. They want to lease both Marcellus and Utica for same price. They want to deduct post production costs or costs to move and refine the product beyond the wellhead for which they get a much higher price.
Then they pay us only a wellhead price. So even though we pay for that enhanced production, they wont share the higher profit. Landowners are entitled to be treated with a little dignity and fairness. Its hard to get a fair deal without an oil and gas attorney.

The $2500 paid for an attorney could save you a $half million. Some leases allow 3 years to drill a producing well. If that well is not drilled, they pay $1000 per acre rent for the 4th year and again the 5th year. That is an inducement not to lock up your land and pay nothing
