All Things Marcellus®: New Leases w/ Existing Leases & Pipeline Maps (3/26/17)

Posted by & filed under Radio Shows.

In this episode of All Things Marcellus, Attorney Doug Clark dives deep into how there is no special or fiduciary relationship between oil and gas companies in Pennsylvania landowners and oil and natural gas right owners. Far too often natural gas and pipeline company landmen use a common selling technique by stating that the natural gas right owner or property owner and the energy company are in a “partnership“.  This is simply not true. The property owner and oil and gas right owner are not in a “partnership” with the company when they are engaged in oil and gas lease or pipeline agreement negotiations.

All Things Marcellus®: FRS Pipe Rights and Location Approval (2/19/17)

Posted by & filed under Radio Shows.

In this episode of All Things Marcellus, Attorney Doug Clark discusses oil and gas lease negotiations and pipeline negotiations and why landowners must stop simply signing contracts presented by the company landman.  Property owners and natural gas right owners must effectively negotiate for higher compensation and to limit the authority provided to the company under the agreement. Landowners are often signing oil and gas leases or pipeline agreements presented by the company landman without understanding their negotiation leverage. Many times property owners can negotiate for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of additional dollars as payment for the proposed natural gas agreement. In virtually all cases, the property owner can negotiate a pipeline right-of-way agreement to limit the authority that they are granting to the company under the document.

All Things Marcellus®: (2/5/17)

Posted by & filed under Radio Shows.

In this episode of All Things Marcellus, Attorney Doug Clark discusses oil and gas legal representation areas and how he represent his Pennsylvania clients in all matters related to oil and gas law. Doug discusses how he is doing more legal work representing land owners in breach of contract claims and other causes of actions against oil and gas companies.

Doug explains why every time a land owner is presented a document they should see this as a potential opportunity.  Property owners and royalty owners must make the most of all opportunities and negotiate all contracts and fight for the highest financial compensation and the most powerful addendum terms that can be added to the agreement to benefit the Lessor/property owner. Remember, quantity of contract addendum terms is not the test, but the quality of the added addendum terms are what matters.

0 – 15 Minutes
When Pennsylvania landowners stop signing bad Pipeline Agreements and Oil and Gas Lease Agreements the money for offered agreements will rise and landowners will secure better addendum terms.  Companies are taking advantage of uninformed landowners and securing very company favored right-of-way and gas leasing agreements.  Landowners must understand whether their oil and gas lease allows for a natural gas pipeline and easement.  Most gas leases do not…
