Thanks for the info.   Did some additional reading.

Chesapeake states they value their Utica Shale holdings at $20 Billion.  On 1.25Million acres of holdings, that is roughly $16,000/acre.   This is the total value,  not what you would expect for a lease bonus payment.

Does anyone know how to calculate a fair market value for a lease bonus and royalty percentage based on this type of valuation.
