    Merrill Lynch, U.S. Trust, Bank of America comprises one of the largest corporate fiduciaries of oil and gas assets in the country with over 100,000 properties under management.  Lease negotiations, operating agreements and ongoing monitoring are just some of the services we provide to maximize the value of your oil and gas assets.  If your holdings exceed 500 acres we should at least speak about your situation.

    Micheal from your description I think that it is this well HICKENBOTTOM%201.kmz

    You will need Google Earth installed on your computer to open the map of the drilling unit.  You can click on the placemarker to get the well documentation. It is permitted as a vertical but the unit is an odd shaped 594 acre unit with 3 parcels in the middle that are not part of the unit.  My guess is that this well was drilled to hold old leases in "HELD BY PRODUCTION"

  • Philip Brutz

    Michael you are correct, most drilling units are more rectangular.  Here is the latest Google Earth map of the Utica drilling units in OH: Utica%20Wells%20Units.kmz The CHK units are yellow.  They are the mostly rectangular but several of them have interesting bends in them.  Probably to go around a parcel that they don't have the lease on.

  • brynmore

  • brynmore

    to monroe co landowner:

      how long ago did you sign a lease. did you go with a land group? thanks

  • brynmore

    thanks cobra much appreciated

  • Philip Brutz

  • Craig Miller

    Anyone approached yet for seismic testing? My neighbor claims he was offered $5 an acre to run seismic testing on his 40 acre parcel.

  • Philip Brutz

    Craig, is your neighbor leased?

  • Dan Warfield

    Why not negotiate (or insist) on a copy of the seismic results for your property if they want to go across your land to do this work?  You're the owner of the O&G until you sign a lease.  Don't worry about reading the results... you'll want an independent geologist to explain them to you so you can verify the information.  All townships and municipalities should insist on this!

    Where is the longwall group of Belmont County? They seem to wreck ground more than this shale drilling!

    Has anyone heard of this site called Shale Gas Insiders (www.shalegasinsiders.com )?  They seem to have pretty good info on Ohio lease bonus prices in the Utica.  They have a table breaking down all Ohio counties in the Utica play and a general going rate for leases in that county.  Other articles too.  Any info would be helpful, thanks.  The site is www.shalegasinsiders.com

    Another lawsuit involving Oxford and 3 brothers from Belmont County. See link http://www.farmanddairy.com/news/belmont-county-three-brothers-suin...

  • Poison Ivy

    Geez Scott, that is too bad. What will you do about the mess? There are so many people in Harrison County and Belmont that have these $5 an acre leases(5 yr term) that are due to expire this year and next. I wonder if Oxford is going to do this destruction to all of those landowners, too? Has anyone heard of Oxford letting these old 5 yr leases expire and the landowner signing on with someone else at a much higher lease per acre?

  • bville

    If you have a lease with Chesapeake and haven't been paid?  Good luck! DPS Penn told me if you don't have a clear title to your land you are not getting paid. This includes a mortgage!!! I received my letter on August 12 which said my titled failed because of my mortgage. I contacted their Belmont County landman and he said its not the language in it, just that I have a mortgage. He also said they are not leasing any more land in Belmont County.  He stated that their are a 100+ leases that will be canceled because of this.

  • Philip Brutz

    bville I am sorry to hear about your lease cancellation.  CHK has record of doing this very same thing in other plays.

    I hope that this turns out to be good for you and that you get a better lease with another company.

  • bville

    OKLAHOMA CITY, July 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gulfport Energy Corporation (Nasdaq:GPOR) ("Gulfport") today provides an update on its midstream activities in the Utica Shale of Eastern Ohio, announces second quarter 2014 production and schedules second quarter 2014 financial and operational results conference call.

    Dry Gas Gathering Update

    To capture development synergies within the area of mutual interest ("AMI") of the previously announced joint development agreement between Gulfport and Rice Energy Inc. (NYSE:RICE) ("Rice"), Gulfport and Rice have entered into a letter of intent and are finalizing definitive agreements whereby Rice will construct and operate gas gathering pipelines associated with Gulfport's Utica Shale interests in Smith Township and portions of Goshen, Wayne and Washington Townships in Belmont County, Ohio. In conjunction with these agreements, Gulfport and MarkWest Energy Partners, LP (NYSE:MWE) ("MarkWest") have executed a letter of intent and are finalizing definitive agreements pursuant to which MarkWest will construct gas gathering facilities to gather Gulfport's dry gas production from portions of Wayne and Washington Townships in Belmont County, Ohio, Sunsbury Township in Monroe County, Ohio and portions of adjacent townships.

    The agreements announced today are intended to ensure the efficient deliverability of Gulfport's product to the market. Together, MarkWest's and Rice's dry gas systems will have the capacity to provide over 1 Bcf per day of natural gas into multiple interconnections including, Rockies Express Pipeline and Texas Eastern Transmission Co. pipeline.

    Firm Transportation on Rockies Express Pipeline and ANR Pipeline

    To secure the movement of Gulfport's Utica Shale production out of the basin, the Company recently entered into a firm transportation agreement with Rockies Express Pipeline beginning in mid-2015 for a term of 20 years for 175,000 MMBtu/day of gas originating from Gulfport's acreage position in Belmont County, Ohio. In connection with this arrangement, Gulfport has entered into firm agreements with ANR Pipeline via the Rockies Express Pipeline connection for delivery of its gas to the premium markets in both the Midwest and Gulf Coast.
