Current rates for Selling mineral rights?

We have acreage in union township and have been approached to sell all or part of our rights for about 7000 dollars an acre. This is quite a bit more than other offers we had received. Can anyone tell me if this is a good offer? Any suggestions for how to proceed would be appreciated.

Probably Carroll County, Ohio as Lisa ( the poster ) belongs to the Carroll County group ( listed on profile that way at any rate ).

if they are offering you 7,000 an acre it is obviously worth a lot more than that............the only question is do you need money now or can you wait a few years for things to crank up

Im with gusher on this one.  I am in Perry township.  From the looks of wells around here if I didn't need the money I wouldn't sell yet.   I'd wait to see what happens.  What 7,000  tells me is that someone expects to make at least double over time.   If you need the cash now, well that is a whole different game.

Good luck.

Lisa.....no such offers like that to your West in Tusc.

 

Evaluate your situation,everyone's situation is different, decide from there.  At 7K/acre....I would sell a % of it.

 

As stated...if offered 7K.....it is expected to return more 2x, 3x,,,,who knows.

from the 2012 marcellus and utica shale databook

2011 to 2012 lease offer sampling(page 15):  your area  shows 3500 to $5850

this is probably too old to help you

the 2013 edition can be purchased from marcellus drilling news.

The final buyer intends to make a lot more than 2 or 3 times the investment. This is high risk stuff that must have a huge payoff potential or why bother? The rule of 72's does not apply here because high risk = high reward. Almost guaranteed that your "buyer" is going to flip it and sell to someone else with very deep pockets. One of the common practices for "flippers" is to get a contract signed to tie you up for a some term of time so you are locked in.

 

I too am looking at selling some rights in Orange Twsp (20% in my case) to de-risk, I can't afford to be "all in" for a payoff down the road. A problem for most people is these buyers want a minimum acres because of the expense in doing due diligence, etc. We have signed a contract with the oil/gas attorney at a very well know oil and gas firm in Canton to market a portion of my minerals. I got this guys name from a wealth management guru at a large bank while attempting to market it myself. And I am under no obligation to sell, but I do expect better than average bids. My firm belief is that having a professional represent me is in my best interest on a deal like this.

 

The overwhelming problem is that once it is sold there is no going back, obviously that genie is not going back in the bottle for you. I am a bit of a geek on knowing a lot about things I am involved with, especially when this much money is involved. Stay informed and do your best, good luck...

Thanks. We are looking to possibly sell only 20 to 25% if we do. I am also from canton. Didn't know we could put it out for bid. Can I ask who your attorney is?
