Morgan County Utica Potential

by Cheyenne

Aug 1, 2011

I was wondering if anyone has any accurate information on the current potential for utica shale leasing and production here in Morgan County. We also have some land here and it's basically to steep to be of any use in our farming operations. We are hoping to recover some of our real estate land tax expenses by leasing the acreage.

What is the factual information on lease cost per acre here?

    Hi, Margie!

    There was a Landowners' meeting last night at Morgan County High School.  They are forming a Landowners' association.  The lawyer who is handling it is Jennifer Garrison, out of Marietta, who works with Bricker and Eckler LLP out of Columbus.   They are signing people up to join the Association and they will work on negotiating a Landowner-friendly lease.  Jennifer hinted last night that they think they can get a lease with a sign-on bonus of over $1000 an acre!  They are charging 4.5% on the sign-on bonus only - nothing on the royalties.   Jennifer's contact information is (740) 373-2414 and her e-mail is:  jennifer@jennifergarrison.com

    Good luck!

        I know the Palmer wells have been producing, but has there been any interest in new wells/land leases in Morgan County over the past 12 months?
