    Does anyone have up to date info on drilling around New Martinsville? Have some property in that location. Is anyone having any dealings with Chesapeake? THANKS for your time

    Regarding Marshall County, the two companies that seem the most active there right now are Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based CNX Gas Corporation (NYSE:CXG) and St. Marys, West Virginia-based Trans Energy Inc. (TENG.OB). Also, Columbia Gas Transmission has two large storage fields in the County and a a natural gas processing plant plant near Majorsville close to the PA border.

    Jack, not sure what Chesapeake is up to in Wetzel County, but Trans Energy has several Marcellus shale wells there. Here's a link that may help with their locations: www.waytogoto.com/wiki/index.php/Trans_Energy_Inc.

    A Cheasapeake landman told me they own Columbia gas which is a very old company that has been in W.Va a very long time. Do you know what leasing terms are in Marshall County presently? Thanks. R.

  • Tom Copley

    Rebecca, The landman is correct. I just did a little checking on it. Have you tried this web site, communitygaspartners.com

    These guys seem to have it together.

    Hello, I saw on another website that Carizzo Oil has filed for permits in Hardy, Grant, and Hampshire counties. If someone could confirm this and tell me what zones are targeted I would appreciate it.

  • Tom Copley

    Interesting. Carizzo has literally been all over the map, although a bit of a late comer to the scene. Hardy, Grant, and Hampshire counties are considerably east of where most of the action has been. Last week there was a report of a company drilling all the way over in western Maryland, so apparently there is a move afoot to test the eastern limits of the Marcellus shale fairway.

    communitygaspartners.com and communitygaspartners.org seem not to work. Any information?

  • Tom Copley

    Nancy-- You are correct. communitygaspartners.com is kaput. Not sure what happened to them. Sorry. --Tom

    I am attempting to start a group for Marion County, WV land/lease owners, I haven't been very successful obtaining lease information from any other Marion County residents, either from our neighbors or the internet. I have discovered, however, that there is great differences in acreage and royalty percentages, county to county. We are leased to XTO Energy and would welcome discussion of anyone else's opinion, information and/or interaction, with that company.

  • Tom Copley

    Chuck-- I notice they have that communitygaspartners.com domain hooked up now to a biofuels company. It isn't the same one I was referring to. That one seems to have disappeared for good down the memory hole. All I remember about it is they were headquartered in Weston, but have no other info. --Tom

    Wonder what your royalty might be? Here's a fun way to "estimate" your royalty payment for a  year. Entertaining, but not very informative.

    What would be the consequences if my surrounding neighbors sign a lease and I don't. Will they rob the gas from under my property if they drill and is that legal?

  • Steve Gulbronson
