Marcellus & Utica Shale

Hardly a day goes by without shale being discussed in the news, and if you own these rights and your property is in an area of active or soon-to-be active drilling, chances are you will be approached to lease your rights to a drilling company. News reports talk of big bucks and local commercials share stories of how the money has helped people.

We help landowners who have Marcellus or Utica shale rights. While an attorney usually works on crafting the contract, once signed, what are you going to do with the money? How is it taxed? What if they actually drill, what about the royalty payments?

Since drilling for these resources is fairly new in our area, people tend to have a lot of questions. We have experience working with landowners who are receiving payments, and can help you make informed decisions about your money. We also have relationships with local attorneys who are experienced in this area in the event you need legal advice.
