Natural Gas Exploration: A Landowner's Guide to Leasing in Pennsylvania
Natural gas development has intensified throughout Pennsylvania over the last several years, and "Marcellus shale" has become a household term. With some estimates of up to $1 trillion in recoverable gas from Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania alone, clearly natural gas development isn't going away anytime soon, and the industry will continue to have a major economic impact on individuals and communities in the Commonwealth and beyond for years to come.
Many landowners are realizing significant income by leasing their property to gas companies for exploration and drilling. Maybe a gas company representative or landman has knocked on your door, asking you to sign a lease that grants permission to explore or drill for natural gas on your land. How do you decide what to do? Only when you understand the gas exploration and leasing process can you make sound decisions for your land and your family.
