For startes according to the DEP web site MDS does not have any permits for Marcellus. If you follow any of the feeds you will quickly learn that they are strictly an aquisition co. For the most part MDS seems to run with Snyder Bros, Markham, Knapp, 1st Energy, all of which are in the business of accquiring land offering "leases" which in reality are an option of which if you very carefully read it starts as 5yr with an "automatic 5yr"renewal. They will say they only write for 5yrs, they just forget about the automatic renewal. Please be very weary of these. I've been called after the signing wanting to know my thoughts, only to see there is nothing that can be done.
