A new Marcellus well pad is being constructed on adjoining farm. My farm is about 95 acres. How can I find out if I am included in the unit?
The pad has 3 numbered wells, (one lateral for each well) Those in the unit, do they participate in royalties from each well, even if the lateral goes away from their physical acreage?
Is more than one Marcellus well drilled on one unit?
Can one physical 95 acre site be included in more than one unit? I.E, the farm that joins on the opposite side of above (I am between two wells) has a Marcellus well.
Thank you

In Pa, when the unit is declared, it will be filed with your county. Go to your county website and search for either the Company that is doing the drilling or your own name. It will only come up under your name if you are part of the unit.
Who ever is part of a declared unit will receive royalties from all the wells producing in the unit.
Yes more than one well can be drilled in one unit, but of course there could only be just one well or just one well to tie up(hold by production) all the unit acreage until future wells are drilled on the unit.
Yes 95 acres could be ( and probably will be ) in multiple units. Also, depending upon your lease, the driller could hold by production your 95 acres while only putting 1 acre or even less in a unit. Which means you would get royalties on 1 acre,but the lease on the other 94 acres will never expire....at least they will probably drill and unitize the rest of your acreage at some point, which is when you would start getting royalties on the balance of your land untized. This does depend on your lease language though.

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 ] |
