Marcellus Shale Oil and Gas Leases Negotiated by an experienced Lawyer from a Property Owner’s Perspective
Attorney Clark has the invaluable and unique experience of negotiating Marcellus Shale oil and gas leases with extensive and detailed addendum from the Perspective of the actual landowner.
Attorney Douglas Clark became involved in negotiating Marcellus Shale oil and gas leases several years ago when asked by his family to negotiate oil and gas leases for approximately 400 acres located in Wayne County Pennsylvania and an additional 60 acres in Susquehanna County Pennsylvania. Those oil and gas lease negotiations quickly snowballed to include neighbors and friends and thousands of acres in northeastern Pennsylvania. Attorney Douglas Clark's oil and gas law practice quickly expanded and continues to grow. Doug has proudly represented and protected several hundreds of landowners throughout the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania.
The Wayne County property is home to the family’s prized “Cabin” where the Clark family retreats for summer and winter getaways and serves as the base for their hunting and fishing trips.
Doug lived beside and grew up working and playing on his grandparents family farm in western Pennsylvania. The Clark family farm has now been passed down to Doug's father who is a retired steelworker and an active farmer on the family's property.
Doug truly recognizes firsthand the importance of a family’s cherished property and carefully considers any special concerns Marcellus Shale landowners may have during oil and gas lease negotiations.
The Clark Law Firm will always place ourselves in the shoes of the Marcellus Shale landowner and never lose focus of our goal to maximize your oil and gas lease bonus payments and royalties while preserving the sanctity of your land.
