Doug discusses oil and gas lease termination language and when do gas leases terminate.  What is “held by production” and how can I tell if my gas lease has ended?  Doug discusses what energy companies and drilling companies have to do to continue a gas lease beyond the primary term.  Can a natural gas company park a truck on my property or must they drill and pay me royalties to extend my lease, or is the answer somewhere in the middle.  Doug breaks down a typical 5 year gas lease and when a lease will terminate or continue beyond 5 years.  Doug also begins the Pugh Clause discussion and how non-unitized acreage can be released under certain circumstances.

All Things Marcellus®: Gas Lease Extension Overview

Posted by & filed under Radio Shows.

0 – 15 Minutes
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.
