to keep you all updated viking is drilling a marcellus well on the ron layfield property close the oil ridge area between cairo and harrisville just off rt 31 also they are drilling another on oxbow rd off rt 47 i am really curious on the ip of these 2 wells. the weese hunter in tyler came in at 7.0 million the other weese well at 5.0 these being farther west in the formation in the marcellus, if they will produce the same amount of gas, will keep you posted when the number come out , or anyone else post it they get something
the Heartwood Forestland 2-HW Well the 085-09918 came from the DEP well lookup if you like , you can also search all the permits by date and drop down menu for the formation ( marcellus) this will let you no whats happening now and whats planned in the future. hope this helps.
Anybody have a good attorney to recommend in Ritchie who knows about oil and gas and who isn't slanted towards the companies? Sounds like good advice is needed more than ever.
Chesapeake drilling New well close to indian run & gillespie washburn road with all the new wells in this area , there must be good results from the other that have been drilled. be interesting to see how mutch gas and wet gas shows in this area. things are looking good for ritchie county.
My husband got some land/min rights willed to him in doddridge county, and I know that someone in the family was contacted from Antero, we since haven't heard a word about it, and I'm trying to find out some info about a possible proposal? does anyone have any idea where to begin, or if there would even be record of this? I have contacted the company and they don't have much to offer! thanks!
Sometimes the company starts with just one family member and sees what the response is. If the family decide to talk about it and act together, that would be helpful.
Thank you so much Nancy, I will check into it! My husband actually doesnt speak to them, his dad passed away in 83' and they haven't keep in touch, we were contacted by a "liaison" so it's making it difficult, thanks again!
Erin, when I looked it up I only saw 3 in the time since January 2010. However, they can't apply for a permit until they have the lease in place.
Do you live in Doddridge County? If so, you could go to the courthouse and look up the leases recorded to that company and see what they say. Also get a copy of the deed where your husband's father or other ancestor bought the property, to see just what your family owns.
This might be a good time to get acquainted with the cousins.
I have identified six wells within a mile of my property on the cisco rd- 085-9511,9639,9540,9550, 9659,9733. Four different owners, #9733, a Viking well, was fracked. Does anybody have any more info on any of these wells? I live in Atlanta, Ga and don't have good access to anything that is not on-line. B
A company is trying to get a unit together in the Gillespie Run area for another company to drill a "deep well". I think the amount offered (about $25 an acre) is low. Thoughts?
If you can wait, the price will go alot higher, wait. Start working on what you want in your lease. If you have an O&G attorney ask him what he has heard and study his lease that he has negotiated in the past. The O&G companies are in a frenzy in southeastern ohio right now, when those areas are done they will start moving into these areas.
Re the dormant mineral rights owned by non-surface owners: the county assesses taxes on producing and nonproducing mineral (oil, gas) rights. If you are assessed a tax and pay it on time that should be sufficient. If you don't pay the tax then you have your name in the local paper, and the parcel (OGM rights) is sold to the highest bidder at an auction. But even then you have 18 months to redeem your property (pay back taxes and probably a fine). The purchaser gets a refund. Nothing reverts to the surface owner unless he/she is the purchaser at the tax sale.
I am Not an attorney but have inquired about this process.
I very strongly recommend people look into the experiences of landowners in Doddridge County before considering leasing to be a good thing, Most of them are considering moving out because the air is unbreathable and the industrialization intolerable, but they can't sell their land or homes at any price. Roads are impassible, completely destroyed, and dangerous. Once it starts they're irresponsible, voracious, and take and destroy everything. There's no stopping these truly MASSIVE operations, and all contract, lease and permit restrictions are ignored. They clear cut and make roads, demolish the existing ones with thousands of heavy poundig trucks, and stash huge tanks and lakes full of poison everywhere, that leak, stink, cause residents two miles away nightly nosebleeds, and kill livestock and wildlife. And that doesn't include the carnage out on the roads and highways from overtired careless drivers. Don't take my word for it, look up Doddridge accounts online and talk to some landowners there. Go take a drive on Porto Rico Road. Be sure you have time and money to get your car fixed afterward, and be VERY careful! We're next of fls are SO shortsighted and gullible as to sign leases with frackers like Antero and think they won't find a way ("FEES!") not to pay what they promise. Remember, promises don't hold up in court -and actually, for the landowner, NOTHING does. And in a year or two (tops) when they move on - all that mess leaves a barren industrial wasteland with poisoned water and destroyed infrastructure we now can't afford to replace. Nothing will grow. That's if the ancient pipes carrying gas under the abused, destroyed roads, don't explode like Sissonville. No more gas, no more water, no more sewer. You can't drink money even if there is any left.

You could go to this website
http://apps.dep.wv.gov/oog/permitsearch_new.cfm
and put in Doddridge for the county and Antero for the company and choose the last year or 2 to see what the company has been doing.
It would be a good idea to try to get a copy, if you don't have it, of your husband's ancestor's deed for the property.
