Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
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.
We own 115 acres, surface and minerals in Potter Co. Pa. Is there any
leasing activity in that area now that natural gas is back in profitable territory?
The best way to get up-to-date information for oil and gas activity in Pennsylvania is to refer to data from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. You can start by checking out their interactive map — https://gis.dep.pa.gov/PaOilAndGasMapping/OilGasWellsStrayGasMap.html? — to find permitting activity in your area.
