CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Development of the natural gas-rich Marcellus shale can create thousands of jobs and result in other economic benefits but must be done carefully, the American Petroleum Institute's chief economist said.

"We've admittedly been slow in terms of our outreach," said John Felmy,…

Help tracking down activity on owned land

Hi,

I'm Kelly, and live in Seattle. My mother was born and raised in Butler, PA, and her family line goes back on the East Coast more than 200 years. One of those family members, sometime in the 1800's, purchased land in Greene County, aware that someday the natural gas would be accessible. Now it is. My mother received a phone call from an attorney in 2007, he asked her tons of lineage questions, trying to identify who the last living relatives are for that Greene Cty site. She hasn't… Continue

Slickwater Stimulation

I would like to correct some of the statements made below.

1.) There are no explosions during the fracturing process. The rock is split open by pressure. This is somewhat analogous to splitting wood with a maul. I suppose by the previous arguement that we should not heat our homes with wood either as that involves an explosive process.

2.) The beauty of shale plays is that they can be treated with slickwater stimulations. This is a process of pumping sand and water downhole at high… Continue

I've received emails and phone calls with nothing but positive comments on whitetails and Marcellus!

5% commission to negotiate your leases

I am an oil and gas lawyer with over 30 years experience and I own an oil and gas brokerage company with 9 other lawyers and 30 landmen working for me. We have been in the Haynesville shale for the past 5 years. I can only urge you to consult your family lawyer or the lawyer of your choice to help you negotiate a fair oil and gas lease for you. Do not pay someone 5% of your bonus. That is highway robbery and it is nothing I have ever seen in the old oil and gas states where my 30 plus years in… Continue

5% Becoming the Norm??

I am seeing a disturbing trend of 5% becoming the norm for negotiation fees. Beyond lost income, I do see disadvantages with paying someone a % of your bonus and/or royalties to negotiate your lease for you. One, they aren't doing anything that you can't do with a good attorney reviewing lease language. Two, if the gas companies want your land, they’re going to find you. Three, there is an inherent conflict of interest virtually on the same level as the landowner and the drilling company.… Continue
