We haven't actively pursued leasing our land, but recently it came to my attention that nearly everyone in our immediate area of Pease Twp had signed, many of them with XTO. So, just out of curiosity I wrote them to see if they'd be interested in our property and this is the message I received. I'm only posting because I thought it might be of some interest to some of you. I know they're not the only ones and there are plenty of others, several of whom my other neighbors have signed with.
"At this time, XTO is limiting our leasing area to only where we plan to
drill this year. If your property falls within that area, we will contact
you for a lease. At this time, we are unable to tell you if you will, or
will not, fall within our drilling area in Ohio. ... you will only be contacted if you fall within our drilling area."

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
