West Virginia Farm Bureau endorses forced pooling bill
Saturday, February 28, 2015
West Virginia House Bill 2688, the proposed legislation that would allow forced pooling/unitization of oil and gas interests in horizontal drilling, has been endorsed by West Virginia Farm Bureau, according to The Inter-Mountain.
West Virginia Farm Bureau recognizes that even though the bill doesn’t satisfy all of the interests of any group, it provides some gains to those involved. For instance, there won’t be deductions from royalty payments and there won’t be any surface disturbance unless an agreement is made with the surface owner.

Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
