Just curious...

     I am in Liberty township and a few months ago got an offer to buy my royalties for 1500 to 1800 per acre, but they would do a more in-depth look if I was serious which "mite change the numbers" slightly....even tho I am not drilled or receiving any royalties ..talked to a landsman rite b4 I contacted them and he advised caution as there will be "significant" activity in my area in the "near future"....how about it, anybody else get an offer or hear anything or see any activity here in Tioga Co. ?

I agree that this post/thread is not about religion....no argument there, Bill. I am sorry if it has been interpreted as such.

It is about the policies being forced on the world by those who wish to stop the use of fossil fuels....those very fossil fuels that we speak of on this forum every day. The ones that we constantly discuss the drilling of wells, the IP of same, the unit size, our decimal interest, gas prices, decline curves, the royalties, the leases and clauses....all things Natural Gas.

We are in danger of losing our right to develop and prosper from our resources....being one of the few (maybe the ONLY) country in the world where the State does not own the minerals under privately owned land

Whether we wish to face the fact....or not....politics is in fact figuring very heavily in this forum, whether in 'person' or in the shadows. Global Warming is a very political animal....and it is a case of Global Interests possibly having an impact locally.....not the way it should be in the USA.

My ranting is done....no offense intended to anyone here....please enjoy your night.

you people are FUNNY.

FUNNY?   Not really!

I came to this site to learn about the gas drilling industry. And I have learned several things I did not know. But now it seem as if everyone is at everyone else's throat. Nothing will ever get done! Many of us will leave simply because this site has deteriorated into a brawl. It does no good to snap at each other like this. No one will benefit by it!

You know..., if I met any of you people on the street, I would not know you, nor would you know me.  I would treat you all courteously and would listen to whatever you had to say with respect.  I am sure not going to get into a dust-up on a cold, white, website page.  I can't do you any harm from here.  You can't do me any harm from there.  I can try to show a little humor once in a while and that is about it.  If I want drama, I'll stay at work and get the real live deal.  I remember a line from a Bill Murray movie entitled "Stripes"  -  "Lighten up François."

Sorry, I don't have any new information.  All things have gone cold on my end of the business.  I fought my battles with them and pretty much came to a stalemate.  I am sorry to hear how Eclipse and its future replacement are dealing with people over Westfield way.  It sounds like Shell all over again.  Personally, I'm going to mothball the whole problem and see what happens in two to five years.  Yes, I could use the extra money, but I cannot do any more with the gas companies than I can with the Pope or Soros.  Neither of those two are taking my calls.  The gas companies have had all of my life they are going to get for quite some time to come.  Good luck to all of you.  My comments seem to pour gasoline on the waters instead of oil, so I'll just watch a bit now and then from the sidelines.  My best wishes sincerely.

Well Brian it seems as if a huge cloud of darkness is descending  not only on this site but on other sites as well.  Maybe everyone is waiting to see what is going to take place. Every one has screeched to a halt.  Sort of like a gas industry GRIDLOCK maybe.

Well said, OT. The path of NG development in PA is heading toward a murky landscape....and that ain't FUNNY.

Old Timer,  As far as I can see, you have pretty much answered my own questions concerning the GAS INDUSTRY.  I do not pretend to understand the very highest level of what goes on with the gas industry, or any other industry as far as that goes.  But I do understand that to be fighting with each other instead of listening to one another is non productive to all concerned.   

I doubt that any of us really knows how it is going to turn out.  

A cousin of mine was lost during the second world war...…..not from actual combat but because of weather conditions at a chosen bomb drop from a B29 bomber. The crew decided to head for another possible target. They bombed that second target. But as I understand it, their B29 bomber was fighting headwinds on the way home. They ran out of fuel and went down. My cousin gave his opportunity to be rescued to another crew member. My cousin and another crew member stayed behind to wait for a second trip of the rescue crew.  When this rescue crew returned to the crash site, both my cousin and his buddy were gone. Cousin, 19 years old,  left a wife and  baby.

In the time period you are referring to Old Timer, I was dealing with the father  of my two stepdaughters. He blamed the older girl for being born and causing his life to be ruined. The younger girl developed diabetes at about 5 years. We nearly lost her at that time.  The only news we had came from TV......No computers yet. and not much was ever said about gas and oil deposits. About all I recall about Nixon was him saying "I am not a crook" 

Also I was trying to deal with my wife who was well into the problem of OCD, (Obsessive Compulsion Disorder).  The direct cause of our divorce..  I suspect other  folks here had little information of the history of the gas and oil industry and what it means to us today.

The "missing money" finally showed up today!

Nice fairy tale, Brother Grimm! 

When a check of a few thousand dollars does not show up when expected, and a huge payment is due the next day and the sheriff shows up, then maybe you will have something the rest of us can laugh at Brian!

Not a fairy tale, but a real life situation to deal with!

Granddad Ladd

ROFLMAO!!! Good stuff....thanks for the laugh!
