Do you mean leasing issues? or royalties being paid? or something else?

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your reply! I was referring to "leasing" issues. Do you have mineral rights under lease in Ritchie County? Thanks and let's hope this is a great year!

Yes, but they are old leases. I am hoping somebody wants to lease some of our unleased property, and that they are in good locations. Still trying to figure out how to know what is "good".

I think knowing what is "good" is the real problem for all mineral owners. It seems to me that in WV the exploration companies are definitely in control (but if there are some really "hot" areas that may not be so true? All of our mineral rights are in Grant District, Ritchie County, and that may be a "slow" area right now? Several decent Marcellus wells have been drilled on some of our acreage, and we still have about 130 acres available to lease. Thanks again and good luck!

I own 23 ac in Doddridge county, Grant Dristrict, and received a letter from EQT that they might be interested in drilling on my land, but it might be a year before they get to that location. I own the mineral rights also. I received the letter in Jan 2010.
