Current Hancock County Lease Offers

Let's keep this site posted with current lease offers in Hancock County and the surrounding area.  Chesapeake is drilling the Utica Shale in the surrounding counties... Columbiana County, Ohio, Beaver County, PA and Brooke County, WV.

 

I have heard of lease bonuses up to $3700 an acre in Harrison County, Ohio and $2700 an acre in Jefferson County, Ohio with a 17.5% royalty.

 

What's the current offer in Hancock County?

There were a LOT of people at the meeting, Todd!   He did a presentation, and handed out a packet of information, as well as signup information for the group

are there any other meetings scheduled? Is everyone trying to negotiate as one group, or individuals?

some thing else to keep in mind that has been accepted elsewhere is to get a percentage of the profit if your lease is sold!

Just got offer of $3000 per acre with 17% post production, they claim they are after the utica wet, oil instead of gas. $2250 per acre no touch clause, same royalties. This was Kenyon. Haven't signed anything yet.

Whatever you do David... make sure you get wellhead price... no post production costs.

So now what's the going rate?  Any other companies interested other than CHK?  I know Buckeye Oil Producing Company is also interested.

Last I heard is that you can negotiate for $3500 per acre and 18% at the wellhead.
