<p>Legislative Session began January 13:<br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/content.detail/id/649894/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/content.detail/id/649894/</a></p>
<p>"I know there are some who are not in favor of this. But, for anything beneath the Marcellus, they can pool it right now," Evans said, noting he will likely be one of the co-sponsors of the bill upon its introduction. "I think this will be a good bill. If they skip over you, you will not get anything. This would ensure that you at least get something." -- <strong>Wrong</strong></p>
<p>McGeehan, however, does not buy this argument.</p>
<p>"You are going to have a redistribution of wealth from West Virginia landowners to huge out-of-state oil and gas companies," he said.-- <strong>Right</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">My view</span></strong>:</p>
<p>The problem with the argument that forced pooling already exists for deep formations such as the Utica is that is misleading -- the current old law speaks of a "pool" of free flowing oil and gas in conventional reservoirs produced by vertical drilling; therefore, it should not apply to unconventional horizontal shale drilling that requires fracture stimulation in order to produce hydrocarbons.<br/> <br/> <strong>See 22C-9-7:<br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.legis.state.wv.us/wvcode/ChapterEntire.cfm?chap=22c&art=9" rel="nofollow">http://www.legis.state.wv.us/wvcode/ChapterEntire.cfm?chap=22c&...</a></strong></p>
<div class="noprint"></div>
<div class="noprint" id="wrapleftcol"><strong>WEST VIRGINIA CODE</strong></div>
<div align="right" class="noprint" id="wraprightcol"></div>
<p><b>CHAPTER 22C. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES; BOARDS, AUTHORITIES, COMMISSIONS AND COMPACTS.</b><br/> <br/> <b>ARTICLE 9. OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION.</b></p>
<p><b><strong>§22C-9-2. Definitions.</strong></b></p>
<p>(9) <strong>"Pool"</strong> means an underground accumulation of petroleum or gas in a single and separate natural reservoir (ordinarily a porous sandstone or limestone). <strong>It is characterized by a single natural-pressure system so that production of petroleum or gas from one part of the pool affects the reservoir pressure throughout its extent.</strong> A pool is bounded by geologic barriers in all directions, such as geologic structural conditions, impermeable strata, and water in the formations, so that <strong>it is effectively separated from any other pools that may be presented in the same district or on the same geologic structure;</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">My conclusion</span></strong>:</p>
<p>The currently antiquated legislation regarding forced pooling only governs a <strong>"pocket"</strong> or <strong>"pool"</strong> of petroleum or gas -- a completely different animal than fracking and horizontal drilling. Hence, <strong>current legislation does NOT allow a company to force pool during unconventional Utica drilling.</strong> </p>
<p>Even if there was a current law to force pool the deep formations, new legislation should be to eliminate that rather than allow shallow forced pooling.</p>

Just curious if anyone here has info on US Mineral Rights, beyond their pitch, which I heard this past Thursday at the Blacksville VFW. The terms that they mentioned seemed intriguing but I'm cautious as these numbers seem too good to be true. They say that for Marcellus only, a lease should command 5k per acre, 18% royalty and no deductions. This is for a 3 year lease and there would be a option for the 4th and 5th year but it would cost the operator an additional 2k per year. They commented…

This is for a 3 year lease and there would be a option for the 4th and 5th year but it would cost the operator an additional 2k per year. They commented that Utica and Burkett would be likely leases a few years later as that is the progression of these O&G operators and the numbers would be similar. I'm looking for anyone who can comment on their experience with the group. Basically, you sign on to be a member of their group for 2 years and they market your minerals to O&G producers, building units of 1280 acres and taking a 5% cut of your acreage bonus as their payment. Anyone in this forum deal with them in the past, has it worked out and what has been your experience?<br />

Appreciate any info that you have.<br />
