My family has 4.5 acres in Clay District, Wetzel County. Does anyone have current bonus amounts for a lease? Thanks.

Bonus rates **do vary in Wetzel County, WV** , and they depend on the operator, the lease terms being offered, the location of your acreage, and current market conditions.
Some operators offer _flat bonus rates_, while others are _negotiable_ based on acreage size or owner leverage. Please reach out to a West Virginia Oil and Gas Attorney or a Petroleum Mineral Advisor.
