Thank you Keith,

Great job in setting up the website. As someone that has worked in the oilfield for 4 years, it's positive networking sites like this that we need.

I would be happy to give the moderator slot a go for a Columbiana Group.

Not sure what or how, but maybe some direction along the way.

Best,

Keith,

Any time frame when my site for Armstrong County will be added to the Pennsylvania County List - your site is very informative and I am sure the folks in Armstrong County will be able to add useful information

Hello Keith,It was good to meet you at the NARO Convention, wasn't it a great experience. We have a tremendous level of interest from PA members and will be mobilizing to capitalize on that momentum. I need to participate here at some level and having said that this site is on a somewhat lengthy list of sites where I feel I need to be????? How do I coordinate all of them? Jackie

Hello,
I had just added information regarding our lease offer to your new shale site. It is the Ohio listing from Adams County - I over looked the county when adding the info. It should be Belmont County. Would it be possible to edit that?

Thanks

Why doesn't it show up under counties? I had joined the Butler group due to my location (I'm in Armstrong but very close to Butler. I didn't see Armstrong under the list of counties.

Keith , Good Morning to you !

What a wonderful Site you have here.Thank-you for all the hard work you are doing to keep us informed. I have property in Butler County and have joined that Group. I have an old lease on this property,due to expire in 2011. I also own property in Allegheny County, this property is very close to the Butler County line. There are several people around me who I know that have gas-leases, but no one has approached me about signing a lease on this property yet. I'm wondering why there is no Allegheny County Group?

Have a good day !

I like your new site layout. Just the few little changes you have made so far have increased it's ease of navigability. (probably isn't a word, but you know what I mean!)

Happy Holidays, Keith, to you and yours !
Although we started a "Marion County, WV" group, when we click on "West Virginia Counties" we have noticed we're not listed there. How do I get our county group to show up on that list ?
Thanks so very much for this website - we are learning so much here.
Sincerely,

Keith, Thank you for creating a tool for all us landowners! I have some concerns about some of the fictional characters and some of their post's...I guess it comes with the territory, but I hate to see people get taken advantage of when the stakes are so high. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

Hi Keith, Snow Day today, Yea !

Having property in Butler & Allegheny Co, I'd love to see an Allegheny Co Group.

I don't think I'm the person to moderate. I don't know enough about the Gas Industry or the computer, Yet, sure trying tho. There seems to be a lot of activity in Allegheny Co for and against. Could you post on the site we are looking for someone ?

I do have a suggestion for the Site.

"Definitions "

There are so many words flying around out there, a whole new language for some. Is there some place on the site where words & definitions can be placed ?

Starting from the 1st step to the last in the process of signing a lease and the process from the 1st step to the last once the gas co. steps foot on your property.

" Example "

1) Land man- who is he ? why is he here ?

2) Primary Term-

3) Extended Term- is there another word for extended ?

4) Impondments -

5) Vertical Pugh-

6) Liabilities- whats this all about ? ! Is the landowner really liable for anything?

Some of the terminology is easy ( common sense ) but not all is.

I think this would be a tremendous help to so many. It would give us a guide line to go by , what to be on the look out for.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Hi Keith, I appreciate all the work you have put into this site. Am able to periodically check in to see what is happening in PA regarding the MC play. It has not worked out yet for me. My property has not been leased. It seems like all the people around me have but not me. I got some offers for 185 per acre three years ago and the last I was offered three months ago was 1,650. Maybe should have taken that but I was hearing that the prices were closer to 3,000 - 4,000 even 5,000. Didn:t want to sell too quickly and then didn:t want to be out either. Went after some companies to try to see if they were interested and didn:t get any offers of interest. One, rr, said not interested even though they have leased land on two sides of my property. XTO is the other and they have have not responded to my inquiries. Trouble is I am trying to do this from Switzerland. Do you know of anyone I could contact? A real person. I have contacted tens of phone recordings. Thank you. JC

Hello; Keith, I have been reading your web site for a year. I have 3 parcels of land in Marshall County, that I hold the rights to. I'm trying to find a well person that I'd talked to, but can't locate him. His name is Brian L. Fowler he was with AB. Resoures, and also Info on a well maintenance company named R.J.D. I think they might have an office in Camron, W.V. Is this something I can post? Or how should I go about it? Thanks, Don Burge, Avon, Ohio

Dear Keith,

I apologize for bothering you but need your help. There is a thread on the Harrison County Ohio webpage listed as Ohioacres4u. LLC.......dba JRM Meeting Dates.... I think the postings on this thread violate your sites rules. Do you agree and, if so, what should be done? I hope all is well with you and again thank you for setting up such an awesome website.

Keith - Thought you might want to know some porn peddler is getting into the site. I got an email that "Rose" left a comment on my profile. Checking it revealed a thinly disguised invitation to see pictures, wrap my arms around "her", etc. all in a very poor imitation of English. I don't know what you can do about it, but thought you would want to be aware.

Now that I have gotten used to how the site runs, I find myself here a fair amount. Thanks!

I was just trying to research the strength and validity of a PetroEdge Energy, LLC letter requesting sign-off on a Paid Up Oil & Gas Lease in Ellsworth DIstrict, Tyler County West Virginia. I don't know what's important for you to know, but I have the acreage, net acres, a map # ad index #. Any information you can impart would be helpful! Thank you!

Our group of approx 1000 acres recently signed on with attorney williams for 2400 per acre and 17.5 % and what we felt was a very good lease with lots of land owner protections. It was not the standard what we were calling a "tear off lease" with a bunch of addendums. Every aspect of the lease was 'case specfic' including a page and a half water protection clause referencing Ohio revised code 1501& 1509 instead of the( best effort clause) to correct any damage that is usually part of the tear off leases. Without specifics the tear off leases could have been a bucket of water for all we knew. I would not suggest that anyone sign one of those leases that resemble ones like dspenn`s. The unfoutunate part of signing when we did is that now we are hearing 2800+ and 18%. Our group knew at the time of signining that it may go up and I tried to convince them to HOLD and that I anticipated the bonus money would reach $3000 by the end of the year. But we are very happy with the terms of the lease. Our other concern was to stay away from any Steub attorneys that for the most part are interested in manicured lawns on their small yards and have no idea about large acerages and what the needs are for people with larger acerages. Now that i`ve had my say about that , we are being approached about pipeline right -of ways. It appears that the same pushy tactics are being used to get the right of way leases signed. Realizing of course that we will need to get the product to the market, but I for one will not sign away my entire property for $200 to be used as ROW and then when they could be done tearing up the whole place using the clause "room to work and adjust the route"is just unacceptable to me. And at that point possibly 3 years from now they will pay the 6500 per acre which amounts to approx $15 per foot in ohio and $25 +in PA. As in the begining all of us being new to the aspects of the leases, is there any info out there about fair ROW leases
