All Things Marcellus

Air date: Saturday January 21, 2011

Attorney Doug Clark, your host of "All Things Marcellus: Shale Gas and You," your neutral unbiased source of information on the fast-evolving Marcellus and Utica shale plays in Pennsylvania, for landowners, and all oil, gas and mineral rights owners, and anyone interested or holding a stake in the outcome of this massive geological energy resource. Doug goes over the hottest blog topics that have received the most attention on The Clark Law Firm web sites - and are the most popular with All Things Marcellus listeners from Pennsylvania and around the world.

The Lease Extenders show.
How do the gas companies attempt to word their proposed leases in such a way as to hold your property under lease, and try to renew for below market rates, even in booming productive areas?
Doug examines these very clever techniques that gas company lawyers try to pass off on Pennsylvanians.
Then, Doug comes up with powerful techniques to defuse these clever tactics, and bring the balanace of power back to the middle.
Our goal is to obtain the fairest, highest quality lease terms and conditions for Pennsylvanians.
The gas companies are already rich enough, and our state's Marcellus and Utica shale gas/oil/NGL energy is a $1.75 trillion dollar Pennsylvania resource, the financial proceeds of which should be shared fairly with our Pennsylvania property owners - most of whom've been waiting patiently, for several generations, for the necessary natural gas production technology to be developed.

PA Gas Leasing Poll

As a landowner do you favor a "Severence Tax" based on production volume or an "Impact Fee" based on the number of wells drilled?
Whether and how Pennsylvania should tax the natural gas industry remains a hotly debated issue:
Severance Tax - with revenue shared with the entire state. (11 votes)
Severance Tax - with the majority or all revenue directed to counties impacted by drilling. (22 votes)
Impact Fee - with revenue shared with the entire state. (0 votes)
Impact Fee - with the majority or all revenue directed to counties impacted by drilling. (12 votes)
I favor no severance tax or impact fee. (10 votes)
