I'm new to "gomarcellusshale", as well as new to this business. We have a 152 acre farm with "Clinton" gas wells which supply our needs.
We've been approached by Fossil Creek Energy Corp (FCEC) for $50/acre, 12.5% Royalty, and $10,000 if a well is drilled. We are sitting on the Utica Strata. I've carefully read the lease and am very suspicious of the terms. We are consulting attorneys. I don't see any members from Noble County..and some interesting notes from Guernsey which lead me to suspect the FCEC lease. Can they broker a lease after signing "cheap"?
We have news of ARTEX Oil offering leases in our County, they're out of Marietta. Any comment on FCEC, ARTEX, and my suspicions would be welcomed!

Hey everybody, I know things didn't work out like ANY of us had expected. However, let us not forget that the O&G companies are pretty much the ones with the ultimate decision of what land they want & how much they are going to be willing to pay. I don't believe that there is anybody out there that could "Make" them take land they don't really want, or pay more than they believe it is worth at the present time. I still believe that KWG&D are trying to work the best deal that they possible can for as many of the group members as possible. & why wouldn't they?... I mean think about it, the more people they land an acceptable deal for... The more they stand to gain as well. I mean ultimately, we are all in this for pretty much the same reason... To make a few bucks & try to get a good deal. This includes just about any group reps as well.
Sawtooth, we have been asked not to discuss particulars of the deal with anyone outside of the group, so we are pretty limited as to what can be said in open forum, but it definitely was not the ultimate outcome that any of us were expecting.
Bob, I honestly can't answer that. I do not know if my feelings would be the same if I were on the other side of the "magical line". In logical reasoning, I would like to think that I would still be able to think rationally about it, however I do know there is a lot at stake here for a lot of people and emotions are bound to take over in a situation like this. & Yes, I too am expecting an "interesting" meeting tomorrow evening.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
