However, there are a number of environmental issues that must be addressed. Chief among…

The meeting was very informative with areas of leases, drilling, well completions and basically your rights. What most got from the meeting was the need to get experts advice on a plan forward and not to sign anything without research.
Although I have not been in the oil and gas industry for 10 years my experience is vast, world wide and technical. My recent interest in the industry was sparked by the disaster at the Gulf Macondo well last year. When the finger pointing started…

Hello. I will soon be getting my water tested here in Lenox, Susquehanna county. I have just heard from someone that a water test will only stand up in court if it is only 6 weeks or less prior to a gas company drilling a well. Is this true? A lot of my neighbors have already had their water tested in the area, will these tests be worthless in case of a problem? Thank You.

For those Shalers following the lawsuit brought against Cabot O & G by residents of Dimock, PA, some initial rulings by the Federal Court's Judge Jones have largely gone against the defendant. Cabot had sought to dismiss or otherwise strike several of the plaintiff's claims. I'm curious exactly why this case ended up in Federal Court instead of a State one. Anyone know?…
