Thanks for your comments, Tomcats & Janice.  Where is the ABC landowner group located and meet?  What part of Butler County does it involve?  The Snyder deal had all the leases (about 400,000 acres) put on the International market by the Royal Bank of Canada as an entire package, the way I understood it.  However, also the way I understood it, was that each lease could be accepted or rejected individually.  Started at $4,000.00 per acre, but could go higher depending on the bidding.  Royalties are 15% net.

From what the legal community is saying, the best real leases signed so far in Butler County seem to have come via the ABC landowner group who leased some of their acres with XTO/Exxon. roughly 4k per acre and 18% with great landowner lease language. Seems the Shell lease verbiage is mostly boiler plate and lacking all signs of pugh clauses and other critical clauses. It also has a catch all company paragraph that allows them to do pretty much anything they want on your property.
