Glad to join the group from Ashtabula County, Ohio. We just read about the BP Leasing of 85,000 acres in Trumball County located just below our county. Good news at $3900 per acre according to the printed reports.

We have large tract of land in Licking County and have been approached by a producer wanting to buy a lease for Utica Shale. We are sorting our way through figuring out what is an expected lease bonus amount and best terms on the lease. Anyone have any input on areas close to us?

It seems if nothing is done with the minerals on your land for a period of twenty years or more the surface owner can do a mineral title search and notify the last know mineral owner and if that person fails to reactivate the mineral ownership at the registry of deeds you can than claim legal ownership.I would suggest you search the general laws of Ohio or Hire an attorney to do so as this could bea very valuable find good luck

I live in crawford couty Pa. but have been researching o/g in you county as well as mine and found that Ohio has an dormant minerals act and could be a real treasure find for some landowners thinking they are being left out of the boom. Good Luck to anyone this may help.

Loreto, I haven't heard that. But a friend of mine who is a geologist who used to work for an O&G company said that her understanding is leases go to a particular depth and no further--from the surface down. So anything below would be considered not leased. I think it is worth pursuing! Utica is below Clinton.

I have been told that in the courts somewhere, landowners have challenged the Clinton Formation era leases from any drilling rights deeper than the Clinton. They reason that the old Clinton well contracts, although they don't specify, imply that they are drilling only to the Clinton formation. They argue that Utica Shale was not even known about when most of those old leases were written and neither was the technology to extract the minerals of the Utica Shale. Has anyone else heard anything else along this line?
