Donna. This is a tough subject. If you have children or heirs that you care about you might want to consider the future for them. But at 67 I understand your interest. You are a young women and wouldike to enjoy the money now, not when you are a 100 lol. As seen there are alot of changes in this area. The value of minerals in this county has yet to be settled upon. If I were to guess.....8 to 9k a acre to sell.

Good luck and I hope everything works out great for you

FYI Donna. I also own property on the wetzel tyler line so I am not just throwing out a number. That number is what I would possibly consider if I were selling. But I believe it will be proven that it will be worth more and produce alot more over the years. We have wet gas in two layers and now monsterror dry gas wells. There coming

Donna,  I am reading a lot of mineral deed transfers over in neighboring Monroe County Ohio where landowners are selling 50% or 25%, even one for 33% of the mineral rights.  To me that is like eating some of the  cake and having some cake to eat later.

Call Jeff Rokisky, the WV Lawyer who operates in OH, PA, and WV. He has the best method you will find for selling. I would use him if I couldn't wait for the drilling.

Briefly:  Estimate value of minerals by assessing local wells.

Hold auction with 25 or more companies.

Was taking 6% which ensures you will get the best price since he wants a percentage of the highest amount he can get for you.

Sell any other way and you will lose compared to Jeff's method.

Donna I know of a small prvate equity firm that is i the busness of buying rights from landowners in the PA/OH area.  I met with one of the principals recently.  There are pros and cons from what I gleaned.  They, the buyer, takes on production and commodity price risk, but you the owner give up opportunity.  I could certainly put you in touch and you can take it from there.  I would be happy to assess the deal if you would like.  As a investment analyst and financial advisor I understand asset valuation methodologies, but I cannot tell you that it is a good or bad move.  I can lay out the numbers and the assumptions.

Why not do a 50%-50% - Sell a 50% interest on the limited shale plays (protecting surface and other minerals, keep those out of the sale!)  while retaining a 50% leasing interest. Siltstone is doing that deal all over WV and Ohio...new office opening up in Parkersburg. Google them.

Hi Donna - Interested to know if you found anyone to help answer questions regarding the sell of your mineral? With the impending vote on Forced Pooling in WV, my family is also considering a sale of our minerals. I've seen amounts ranging from downright offensive to pipedream and I'm not sure what to reasonable expect if we do go the route of selling. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I was offered any where from 2,500 to maybe 6,500 but that was back in OCT. I decided not to sell no matter what. As long as I am living it will stay in the family. And I hope after I have told my children all the lies and crooks this industry has associated with it they will to....
