Hi Does anyone have contact info. for Hilcorp or anyone else leasing in Columbiana County? Would be interested in Atty. numbers, landowner group or direct company contact.  Thanks

lease has ad volerum tax shared between lessor and lessee, on 20 percent/80 percent?  Any thoughts on how much this is?

So, whats the lowdown with Aubrey McClellan (sp) being investigated?? Anyone have the scoop? :) With so much land leased to Chesapeake, should we be concerned?

How does one know if there are in a well unit and do they tell you how many acres you would have before, the well is drilled???

Does a 10 H lateral typically always run NW to SE???  And is 10 H always the top right lateral on a 6 head well???

I am curious to know if any permits are in the work for an area between Lisbon Dunganon road and the Scenic Vista Park on Wayne Bridge Road. I also can't find maps of drilling activity anymore. Did ODNR take those down?

Has anyone not recived their columbia gas storage lease payment? .always got mine in Feb. but have not recived it .

Where are all of the discussions based on well name?

Good question Kelly.  They were the most useful posts on this site.....

Someone on this site got ignorant with Utica Shale who posted all those updates. He took his toys and went home. Utica Shale was a valued contributor here and some jacka$$ with a big ego had to go and pi$$ him off.

Wow that sucks. I was very appreciative for the info Utica Shale was giving us. Man that sucks. Why do some people have to be an ass!

I just recently heard rumors of people in the Hanoverton/Kensington area getting royalty checks for $10 an acre. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

I was told $40 an acre from one landowner and another in Bergholz said his gas was sold for 5 and 6 cents last month.

$40 an acre for what?

royalties.

Is that per day, per week, per month, per year? Which specific well? Under what royalty terms?

"$40 per acre" doesn't mean a whole lot without a whole lot of context to define it.

There seems to be some growing uncertainty here about Columbiana County's shale potential. Rumors of low royalties don't help. But it's wise to keep the last few days or weeks in context. Judging by total permits and drilled wells, the county is still clearly among the top five most active. It has about the same percentage of permits to wells drilled as Carroll County. However, the number of producing wells is still lagging, which might be one reason for the concern. My source is this handy Farm and Dairy graph. 

When you get your first royalty check after 3 months of production, when are those sent out? I am hearing the 1st, someone else said the 15th.

Are the royalty payments from Chesapeake?  Do those Royalty payments take into account application of any of their classic outrageous "Market Enhancement" clauses like people were complaining about in Pennsylvania?  Were the deductions steep?  Were these Net leases?

Look up market enhancement deductions in the general topics discussions.

They would be from Chesapeake. As for your other questions, I have no idea. We have yet to receive royalties. Next month is the first month we are supposed to get them.

Folks need to pay very close attention to the market enhancement which might appear to bring more value to the lessor, but many in PA claim is a blind sided attempt to take steep deductions on gross leases. And then there's also the issue of a company or two taking outrageous deductions on Net leases, and how certain companies structure those deductions to where some landowners complained the deductions were almost as much as the actual royalty leaving them with little to nothing.  (like selling to a sister company that charges higher than usual fees, and transferring the fees in deduction form to the lessor).  Looks like folks in PA have even begun to organize against some of those practices and have included their political leaders.  Even the PA Governor has specifically weighed in.  If the same issues are beginning to surface here in Ohio it would be great if people speak up.  Then again maybe the production on the wells commented about are just not very lucrative.

I wonder how royalty deductions would look on a Net royalty lease that also has a market enhancement clause

Interesting and thanks. I'm on the Millport line. Waiting like everybody else. 

I am on the Dye well, south unit. Was told it was in production in March and that we would get our first royalty check in July for the first 3 months of production and then monthly thereafter. What is the division order?

Kathleen, when you say the Andrullis well was connected, do you mean it started producing?  Which line is the Anrullis well connected to?
