          Like Land And Water; Oil And Gas Are The Peoples’ Resources

"Re-purposing" the County Groups on GMS

County Groups now Open for Promoting

 

We are making some slight changes to our non-solicitation rules on GoMarcellusShale.com. The reason for the change is that it has become evident that there is a need for a place where landgroups and mineral owners can network, organize and yes, even promote.

THE DOWNSIDE OF MARCELLUS LEASING: ROLL-BACK TAXES

You signed a lease and you are anxiously awaiting royalty payments.  What you might not be expecting is a bill from the tax office asking for several years’ worth of back property taxes.
