Oil and Gas Lease Negotiation Process

As a Marcellus Shale property owner, your Pennsylvania oil and gas lawyer will assist you by soliciting bids from natural gas companies interested in leasing your Marcellus Shale oil and gas rights.


Your oil and gas lawyer will actively seek out multiple natural gas and energy companies in effort to secure the strongest oil and gas lease offers, or we will negotiate with a specific natural gas company(ies) of the Marcellus Shale property owner’s choice.

We always fight to maximize an oil and gas lease offer’s bonus payment and royalty percentage while incorporating landowner friendly addendum to the Marcellus Shale lease. The oil and gas lease addendum language typically adresses many issues, including: water concerns - including pre and post drilling water testing, clean and grean, ad valorem taxes, royalty calculation, lease term length language, environmental concerns, gas well shut-in royalty issues, pipline issues, free gas payments, delayed royalty language, unit size, pooling restrictions, surface reclaimation, pugh clause, water supply, siesmic testing, title warranty, arbitration, timber reimbursement, blue stone quarry restrictions, and MANY OTHER ISSUES.

Our oil and gas lease lawyer listens carefully to any special and unique concerns that you may have and negotiates diligently to have these concerns addressed in your final Marcellus Shale Oil and Gas Lease.

Attorney Douglas Clark genuinely understands the value of a family’s cherished land and will fight to protect you and your property from unfriendly company drafted Marcellus Shale oil and gas leases.

Let Doug's extensive experience and knowledge in Pennsylvania oil and gas law, and in oil and gas leasing, work for you.

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)
