I'm in Ohio/Noble/Marion and continue to receive offers. 14 so far by mail, and another arrived yesterday. Post your information and I'll draw a map of "mineral interest". Have your offers increased, remained constant, or stopped coming? Just curious, and it might be fun. Thanks.

I don't know who is active in that area, but maybe others can help. You can friend request Mark for more information.

I don't know of other interested companies, but there certainly could be some. With 30000 acres, you have a serious opportunity there. Best of luck. Have you had any direct offers to buy your minerals/royalty rights? That's what I'm trying to do here; draw a map of interest across the shale play.

is halcon back out picking up leases? i'd love to get a lease.
Permalink Reply by Richard Droske on June 4, 2013 at 4:08pm Sorry for late reply. Missed somehow. Yes this lease is from Halcon, not Shell. The offer was made early last year but took extra time to finalize because we already had a lease for shallow rights weth a different company so they had rights to match the offer and 90 days to decide.
So I am not sure if they are still leasing but it seems they are serious about the Polk/French Creek area. This land is 2 miles from the Allam well that was recently successful and they are building a 2 mile pipeline to it now.
Hoping once they do that and get production going they will drill on our land and extend it another 2 miles.

Permalink Reply by The Hiker on May 24, 2013 at 2:28am There have been a few others in Mahoning that have been contacted by companies interested in their minerals (see earlier posts), so Mahoning does hold interest out there. One of the many maps of the "windows" shows the oil/wet gas line running through Mahoning and that position is of great interest to the drillers, although there are many other variables that determine where they drill. Chesapeake and Consol appear to be active in your area. Only you can judge whether to sell your minerals or to lease and hold them in hopes of gaining royalties from a well sometime in the future. I'll attach a map from ODNR showing drilling activity in Ohio to illustrate. Keep reading GMS. Best of luck.

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 ] |
