Doug explains his oil and gas practice across Pennsylvania and landowner only representation.  Doug introduces listeners to Pennsylvania’s Oil and Gas Conservation Law and its applicability to the Utica Shale formation.  Doug jumps on his soap box to beg landowners to “STOP SIGNING” oil and natural gas agreements without knowledgeable and experienced legal counsel.  Doug again reminds listeners that when gas companies stop drilling expensive horizontal wells in a low natural gas price market opportunities may arise to negotiate new leases or to negotiate landowner friendly addendum terms when extending or modifying your oil and gas lease.

Doug dedicates this All Things Marcellus show to identifying oil and natural gas right owner “opportunities” when they are approached for new agreements, including but not limited to gas lease extensions and modifications, extensions of pipeline agreements, and all other natural gas related agreement extensions.  Doug walks listeners through a sample consultation and review with a landowner with a pending request by the gas company to extend their expiring oil and gas lease.  Doug introduces how the landowner contacted the office to begin the consultation and review process and what actually goes into the initial review and consultation when landowners send in their oil and gas lease and related documents to the office for a detailed in-office or telephone conference call.

Why Are Gas Companies in Tioga County and across Pennsylvania Aggressively Requesting Oil and Gas Lease Extensions, Modification and Amendments for very Little Financial Compensation?

Posted by & filed under Blog.

Many leases in Pennsylvania are set to expire in 2016 or shortly thereafter and Southwestern Energy and other gas companies across Pennsylvania are aggressively seeking to extend existing gas leases for little to no compensation. Given today’s low natural gas prices, Southwestern Energy and many gas companies across Pennsylvania are seeking to extend existing Oil and Gas Leases to avoid drilling expensive horizontal wells into the deeper Marcellus and Utica Shale formations. Property and gas rights owners must be very cautious when considering any extension, modification or amendment of their existing gas lease as these extensions or other changes generally benefit the gas company and not the landowner.

Doug explains how The Clark Law Firm, PC represents landowners and oil and gas right owners across Pennsylvania and clients across the country. Doug addresses why he has been hired by gas and pipeline company employees and Landman to represent them on their own personal property and gas right ownership.  Why do company representatives and employees hire knowledgeable oil and gas attorney’s to represent them in private affairs?  Landowners must recognize that the gas company Landman is out to negotiate the best possible deal in favor of the company they work for, and not you, the landowner.  No gas company or pipeline company Landman goes to the landowner’s house and tells them that they are working for the company and they are out to get the best deal for the company and give the landowner the worst terms possible.  Even company representatives and Landman know the benefits and will often hire attorney’s to work for them in their own private matters involving gas and pipeline companies.
