<p>Jarrad, I quite agree with your math. But it assumes that gas producers don't deduct costs under the old leases. If they do (and some do), the landowner gets the short deal both ways (low 1/8 royalty and deductions). The check stubs can be misleading. They may have a columns that says "well gross" and "royalty owner share" but the "well gross" they use is the net proceeds of the sale of the gas (i.e., gross sales price less post production costs).</p>

<p>In my opinion I would think the old leases can be just as good or better as any 20% net lease. With a net lease the driller can add costs and it can be subtracted from the gross Income. Example:</p>
<p>$100,000 royalty x 12.5% = $12,500</p>
<p></p>
<p>$100,000 royalty - fees= say $50,000 x 20% = $10,000</p>
<p></p>
<p>Kind of at the mercy of the driller and I would think that they would add on all the fees that they possibly could. I don't know what kind of fees are applied though or if…</p>

<p>Thank you Brat. I would be interested to know what gas producer signed the lease thirty years ago and which gas producer now has the lease and is paying your gas royalties. Also, it is not always clear from a royalty check stub whether deductions have been taken and, if so, how much and for which services (e.g., gathering, compression, dehydration, processing, transportation, marketing, etc.). I would be interested to know why you think no expenses have been deducted. </p>

<p>Yes my lease is about 30 years old and think it says market value. I am not in any Utica well unit and am wondering just what will happen should I be included in one. At present , no deductions are taken out of my royalty checks, other than some kind of tax. I am in Ohio</p>
