<blockquote><p class="News-body-text">If Murrysville officials decide to establish an ordinance to address injection wells in the municipality, Chief Administrator Jim Morrison hopes it won't take seven years to iron out the details. </p>
<p class="News-body-text">“We are again faced with a land-use issue similar to what we dealt with on Marcellus shale,” Morrison said, referring to the lengthy process the municipality undertook in developing its fracking ordinance. </p>
<p class="News-body-text">Morrison attended a July hearing conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Plum, where Delmont company Penneco Environmental Solutions is seeking permits for an injection well. The permit would allow Penneco to inject 54,000 barrels per month of fracking water and fluids from oil and gas drilling operations into the Murrysville Sands formation over 10 years. </p>
<p class="News-body-text">The fluid would be injected into what was once a natural gas well that has been plugged. <span class="Plain">Studies have connected earthquakes to underground injection wells in Ohio and Oklahoma. In February, a DEP study linked low-magnitude earthquakes in April 2016 in Lawrence County to fracking. </span></p>
<p class="News-body-text">With Murrysville's history as the site of the nation's first gas well — and plenty since then — Morrison felt it was an issue that should be addressed.</p>

<p>Anybody hear anything with regards to APEX Energy supposedly developing the Marcellus from 8 well pads in Penn Twp., Westmoreland Co.? I know of three proposed / potential locations, but do not know where the other 5 may be. Also, as far as I know, the township has not developed / finalized a drilling ordinance as of yet - they are still working on their zoning. Any news would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Our family was contacted by Dorso Energy last week regarding 111 acres my father in law still had the mineral rights on in Franklin Township, Westmoreland. Anyone know anything about Dorso?

I've been researching a lot on this forum and other sights so I've gotten a lot of education this past week so I know this is probably a ridiculously low intro offer. Any thoughts? I'm guessing our next step is to contact an oil & gas attorney and figure out what the property might even be worth and if any drills are nearby? We live in Florida so this is a little difficult to do long distance. I'm not trying to be greedy, but don't want to be taken advantage of either. There is no other family involved and we don't know any of the other parties or where we are within the unit. Not really sure at this point where we begin???!! Thanks for any help</p>

<p> I was wondering if anyone has information about activity in Cook and Ligonier townships? I understand that there is a company called Green Earth Energy going around forming landowner groups. I have been watching the courthouse website and there is SLOW progress in leasing in these townships. No sight of the "landman". Anybody with info about this company or leasing in these townships would be great. Also in news of the WPX Williams pipeline in this area?</p>

<p>We have a property off Hunter Road in Derry Township. Looking at the well maps I can see that there are wells on the west side of RT 982 and on the East Side of Pizza Barn Road. What is the criteria for deciding what properties will be drilled on? Size of property? Distance to pipeline? Just curious. </p>

<p>From WENY-TV describing their video "Gas Drilling Royalties"</p>
<p>BRADFORD COUNTY, PA (WENY) -- Bradford County land owners with drilling leases are speaking out about their royalties disappearing. They're teaming up with Bradford County Commissioners, and calling on Pennsylvania lawmakers to take another look at the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty Act.<br/> In 1979, Pennsylvania adopted the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty Act, making sure people leasing their land to gas companies got at least 12.5 percent of royalties. But now, landowners are being hit with post-production costs as high as 90 percent. Those production costs make landowners profits way lower than they thought, and now, neighbors and commissioners alike have had it with some gas companies.<br/> They're arguing that people leasing their land to gas companies are not getting their fair share of royalties.<br/> "This really is an arrogant move and the trouble is that you know, the vast majority of operators in the U.S. are good operators, who care about the ppl they serve, but you get arrogant ones that just don't," said Bradford County Commissioner Doug McLinko.<br/> Jackie Kingsley of East Smithfield is just one of many neighbors frustrated with a company she lets lease from her.<br/> "It gets frustrating and after a while you just have to say, enough is enough and look the other way, I guess," she said.<br/> But some landowners don't want to look the other way. A lot of them are still scared to speak out, but hope state lawmakers make a change.<br/> "We have very humble and good people most people will not speak out, we've had a lot of people that called and send us their checks and are just dumbfounded with what's happening," said McLinko.<br/> One woman shared some of her tax forms with WENY HD News. Chesapeake Energy and Statoil have been using her land since before she moved in in 2007. Back in July, she was getting about 65% of her royalties, but in January, she got no royalty at all. After reaching out to Chesapeake, she got a combined 25 percent of the royalties due her in February and January. And it's been going down ever since. In March she says Chesapeake kept almost 82% of the royalty.<br/> "So really what we need is to have this looked at and revisited. Is there something that can be done to clarify and reinterpret what was meant by the intent of the 12.5% minimum royalty Guaranteed Minimum Royalty Act," said County Commssioner Daryl Miller.<br/> Comissioner McLinko says natural gas drilling benefits neighboring New York, and he is going to Albany this week to talk to lawmakers about it.</p>
