Does anyone keep track of landowner groups that are forming?  I am interested in one for the Windsor/Meigs Township are or for the entire county.  Does the County Extension Agent track this activity?

Here is a website on the Utica Shale Play that you might want to mark as a favorite and check back on as time permits.

Shale Guy, the transmission lines mentioned are in fact gas lines, I believe "Duke" or the old Texas Eastern operates it now. You seem to be basing your knowledge of Morgan County Utica Shale off the same layer maps that everyone else has seen. Based off the OHIO DNR maps Morgan County seems to have the thermal maturity associated with liquids or oil but there is definately no way of knowing the magnitude unless you know something that nobody else seems to know throughout the Utica play. In my experience of drilling and completing the very wet area of the Marcellus for a living, it's much more likely that some gas will be associated with any liquids (condensate, oil) present. So yes leasing land adjacent to a transmission lines makes a lot of sense for an operator.

Gentlemen,

I attended a land owner's meeting in Waterford, Ohio (Washington County) last night. A represenative of the "Ohio Land Company" was there acting as a land broker. While he didn't directly confirm it, he mentioned in passing that he was representing Devon Energy in this area. He did say that Devon Energy was opening him a land office in Marietta, OH. They were very much interested in all parts of Washington County and Morgan Counties both, however at this time they were strictly leasing in Adams and Waterford townships. I'm guessing they are starting leasing in these immediate townships because a large Texas Eastern transmission lines runs directly through both townships. The land company was offering $1250/acre with a 90 day term to market your lease to I assume Devon Energy. At the end of that 90 days they had to either have a lease ready for you or forfeit your agreement. I thought a 90 day term was very resonable. My understanding after speaking to the gentlemen was that Devon Energy had first right or refusal on any tract that he picked up in the area.

I would like info on  the Morgan County landowners group.  We have mineral rights to about 1450 acres and have been approached by Artex - we declined the lease offer and are being advised by our attorney - Bill Kern
