  • jeannie

    Does anyone know how to find out if you are part of a block? When we signed at the end of Jan. we were the only ones in our immidiate area that would sign. Now we are not sure how to find that out?

    Stark has record-setting day for drilling leases

  • Nate

    I need to get a hold of any company looking for leases in Bethlehem Twp. They don't have to be chk, Donald Duck works too - as long as he pays!
  • amos alexander

    my property is in a combined oil and gas lease.i have been contacted by chesapeake energy that they have bought the deep drilling rights from the current lessor,they said they need me to sign a lease with them for the deep mineral rights since the orginal lease does not have them in it.they are offering 12 percent royalty with no sign on bonus.does this seem right and has anyone heard of this , i need help.

  • Stark County Land Owner

    AMOS OMG  NO!!  That's highway robbery. Others are getting anywhere from $3,850 - $5,800 per acre and 18-19% GROSS Royalties. Tell them to sweeten the pot or don't sign. You're in the driver seat, don't let them bullshit you and make you think you're not.

  • Nate

    Where in Stark county are they getting $3850-$5800?

  • amos alexander

    im not really for signing a lease for drilling but everyone around me is signing up and i figure they are going to come very close to me and mayble i should sign and just get the royalites.i only have 7 acres and they said they would not put a well on it and the well they intend to drill is a mile away,what do you guys think.

    Does anyone know what osnaburg twp, is getting now? I know they started at $200 and acre than $350 than $500, $750 and last was $1000 for 5 yrs. more for 10 yrs.  They sure played a game and would like to know what it is up to now. Thanks

  • Stark County Land Owner

    Nate,  I never said that amount was in Stark Co. But I know for a fact that in surrounding counties landowners are getting those terms. The most I've heard currently in Stark is $3250 and 17% Gross.

  • Finnbear

    Stark County Landowner,

    Do you have contact info for the $3250, 17% gross offer?

    Where are you located in Stark County?

  • Nate

    Im in bethlehem twp.

    Tracy, can you hook me up with a deal? I'll sign for 3200 18%
  • James Harber

    If you can wait until Spring, I think you will see lease bonuses move into the $5,000. range and 20% royalty. Hey, what is another 90-120 days to maybe get another $1,800. per acre. If you are getting a written drilling commitment, what's the rush? Look around you, each and every county has seen large lease bonus increases, always after the beginning of a new year.

  • Tracy Packer

    Nate. I'll call you tomorrow. What some people dont understand are different areas are hotter than others. Sometimes because of the depth of minerals or if it's gas....oil.....or wet gas, etc. There are SEVERAL reasons as to why bonus is higher in one area than the other. Also, not all shale plays are the same.......
    There are so many more factors that goes into buying leases that mineral owner are not aware of and sometimes they miss the boat and the time has passed them by because they were "too" stubon and thinking that everyone is goin to get the same bonus. It's funny when people relate the Utica Shale play to the Eagle Ford........ALL shale plays are different and handled different because of this reasons.
    Just a Lil FYI....
  • Stark County Land Owner

    Tracy, which company are you a landman for?
  • Tracy Packer

    I am an independent Landman that relationships with operators large and small. These companies come to us to get leases for them. It's sometimes hard to find people with good honest work ethics hat care about the mineral owners also. PLUS...... half of my family live in Ohio in the River Valey.
