Leases Offered in Noble County

I'm new to "gomarcellusshale", as well as new to this business.  We have a 152 acre farm with "Clinton" gas wells which supply our needs.

We've been approached by Fossil Creek Energy Corp (FCEC) for $50/acre, 12.5% Royalty, and $10,000 if a well is drilled.  We are sitting on the Utica Strata.  I've carefully read the lease and am very suspicious of the terms.  We are consulting attorneys.  I don't see any members from Noble County..and some interesting notes from Guernsey which lead me to suspect the FCEC lease.  Can they broker a lease after signing "cheap"?

We have news of ARTEX Oil offering leases in our County, they're out of Marietta.  Any comment on FCEC, ARTEX, and my suspicions would be welcomed!

Randall, I understand what you are saying, but we all have different circumstances that led us to the KWGD group. Unfortunately, from what I'm seeing with kwgd is that they are not as landowner friendly as once thought and are preaching a different sermon now. I guess we will see what happens this Tuesday.

I agree with TP. Right up unti yesterday we were led to believe the bidding was very hot. KWGD lost all credibility with me. That's my opinion, fwiw.

Do you suppose we might be able to make a bigger Noble County group? Do you think that might make a difference--more acreage?

If all the unleased Noble county people got together in the same group it would make the package more attractive to O&G companies. I know there are the two SOLA (Garrison and Des W. ) groups and the KWGD group in operation there now. If the three groups could work together somehow or if members of all 3 migrated to one it would help How many other groups are also in Noble at this time?

I don't know. I'm kind of new to this. What do you suppose the best way is to find out?

Hey you guys heard about the 100 or so people getting $4950 per acre and 19 or 19.5% royalties in Barnesville Ohio?  I just saw it in the paper this weekend.  Exxon is whos buying the leases.  I'm going to try and find a number tonight to see what all areas there interesting in leasing.
