Here in Westmoreland County, PA, we are getting 15% royalty from the dry natural gas but Chevron deducts 16% giving us just above the 12.5% minimum required royalty (Actually comes out to 12.6% after expenses). My Attorney said that these expenses should cease once the pipelines were paid for but today, found out that the 16% expenses are 'post production costs for compression and dehydration' that are being charged by the purchaser of the natural gas. Does this sound right? Others in our Unit then that were signed under an older lease or Held By Production basically are getting the same royalty as we are (12.5% vs 12.6%). So, we are paying the Post Production costs and they aren't. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.  Mary
