<p>Slightly too early to tell if mine was a ship or a smaller troller. I signed on with the only company I could sign on with (I'm in Greene Co, PA), that being the Coal Company who extracted under our land 20 years ago nd so is the only ones able to get under there. The signing bonus wasn't great compared to others since they pretty much are the only game in town and they know it.

<p>Slightly too early to tell if mine was a ship or a smaller troller. I signed on with the only company I could sign on with (I'm in Greene Co, PA), that being the Coal Company who extracted under our land 20 years ago nd so is the only ones able to get under there. The signing bonus wasn't great compared to others since they pretty much are the only game in town and they know it. But it wasn't horrible ($2750/acre), and the deal isn't bad (15% royalties with no deductions). I only own 12.4 acres back there that my mother deeded to me when she sold the farm I grew up on (If she'd have let me buy the farm which was 91 acres, I'd be sitting really pretty right now). I had no idea that I the mineral rights were still with the property, as I assumed, like the coal rights, they were gone long ago, so the fact that I got anything was a nice surprise. They are putting the pads in and there are supposed to be 2 of the 6 going in that will tap my property. I'm happy to wait until gas prices come up and that is what they are waiting on too, though they are moving forward with putting in the first pad. </p>

<p>I would love to know if the Utica is under my property and if it is, that could prove to be a bigger ship than I thought. I'm not sure if the lease agreement I have covers only the Marcellus or deeper shales. I need to check it. If it includes deeper shales, then that forgoes my ability to negotiate a bigger lease/signing price later on. Overall, I'm not unhappy as, like I said, I never thought the property was worth anything and had plans to sell it.</p> An airship maybe?tag:gomarcellusshale.com,2015-11-26:2274639:Comment:7072752015-11-26T15:23:48.728Zwilliam Allen.

<p>David,</p>
<p> The first Royalty Check will be for 4 to 5 months of production. Expect the 2nd Check to be 1/4 of the first.</p>
<p>Everyone that has a Chesapeake well has said the same thing: "The royalties were good at first then dropped to nothing". Nothing is close to the $15 per acre per month everyone at Buck Well 1H is receiving. Buck well is the National Norm, not the exception.</p>
<p>Take a look at what we found when we looked closely at Chesapeake.</p>

<p><strong>You asked if my ship came in. I guess the answer would have to be, A few lifeboats have gathered around and maybe I could say that a flotation device has been thrown my way. A few sharks have been circling me for a few years but I am determined not to let them gobble me up. At first it looked as if our troubles might be over. We almost had to post a traffic cop at the end of our driveway because of so many landmen coming in. Upon investigation we were told our land was not open…</strong></p>

We almost had to post a traffic cop at the end of our driveway because of so many landmen coming in. Upon investigation we were told our land was not open for leasing discussion. A few years later it was discovered we had been tricked as many of our neighbors had been tricked too. So we had to turn all of the landmen away. But since the first of the year the tricksters were put in their place. And now we are leased and expect to receive a few royalties. Not a big amount but enough that we can live a better and more comfortable life! Oh yes and keep the sharks away too.</strong></p>

<p>I worked hard and thought I made it when we bought our home and 30 acres in 2006. The house was a shambles but I worked on it when I could and made it pretty nice.</p>
<p>The first leasing agent offered $10 an acre. I declined but they pursued me until I told them to their faces in my driveway to not contact me again or I would file a restraining order.</p>

<p>The first leasing agent offered $10 an acre. I declined but they pursued me until I told them to their faces in my driveway to not contact me again or I would file a restraining order.</p>
<p>I don't know why they wanted us so badly, they had thousands of acres around us, including most of my neighbors who had large parcels.</p>
<p>I joined a landowner group when the money got to $5000 an acre but that was a bust. Our guy butchered the thing, Carrizo jerked us around for a year and then dumped us, REX came in and made a ridiculous offer and many of us left the group.</p>
<p>Many of us were up and down thinking we would never get leased, Oxford had things around here kind of bottled up, they had not been bought out yet.</p>
<p>Finally we all got paid, those of us who held out the longest got the best deals. Antero made us an offer and some promises that I doubted they would keep but they came through for us like they said they would.</p>
<p>Sometimes folks who work hard and play by the rules get a break, we made enough money to set things up very well for ourselves and to be able to reach out to others.</p>
<p>We have favorable lease terms and 12.5 acres in a unit drilled but not fracked, Chesapeake is readying the pad as I write for fracking and we are told it will go into production in April or 2016, which I seriously doubt. I would rather wait another year anyhow for prices to improve like some say they will.</p>
<p>This has been a tremendous blessing but it has also had its problems. The traffic here is not bad most of the time but it certainly will never be the peaceful place it was before. I had some very real and serious problems with the pipeliners and the bigger trucks for a while and ended up getting a visit from 3 sheriffs deputies.</p>
<p>We have decided to sell our place but keep the royalties, we will leave the home and property far better than we found it and we will be far better off for having been here.</p>

<p>Thank you. We got out to the property this weekend to see where they've surveyed and just kind of enjoy it a bit before it all changes. We're meeting with their rep (landman) in a few days to discuss details and $ some more, but we'll likely decide to let the cabin go down. I know it'll tear me up when I see it, but yes we're doing it for the cash, plain and simple.

<p>Thank you. We got out to the property this weekend to see where they've surveyed and just kind of enjoy it a bit before it all changes.

I know it'll tear me up when I see it, but yes we're doing it for the cash, plain and simple. Once we talk more we'll know if much open space (for camping, transplanting some trees, I'm like a squirrel sometimes) will remain or if the topsoil piles and pipeline ROW will take what the pad doesn't). It's quite a long drive for us and always a struggle to maintain the place, plus mowing, cleaning, keeping mice out, a really horrible access road in. We'll still have a good bit of untouched forest at least, just the higher lands, the old hay fields, will be heavily altered. I don't mean to groan too much, we are extremely fortunate that this place has turned out to be a surprise investment we never anticipated; it's the right decision for our family, but it just messes with my head.</p> You sound like a pretty cool…tag:gomarcellusshale.com,2015-11-07:2274639:Comment:7045252015-11-07T18:52:16.246ZErik V.https://gomarcellusshale.com/profile/ErikV

<p>My ship came in but the gas company stole it. Taking deductions in spite of a lease saying they can't, not paying for NGLs, not paying for oil, and under paying for NG...possibly stealing 50-75% of my royalty check. People should be in prison.</p>
