@JEB2034 From the response back in Jun 2025, you posted, “I’ve been producing the necessary documents for the operator and have been assigned an owner number. Yesterday, I was told that the AOH I filed had been approved, and the following steps are 1) Division Orders and 2) Title work. This is all new to me, and I’m hoping someone can give me an idea of the time frame for these next two steps. Bear in mind that these wells are currently being drilled and have been for several years. I appreciate any help you can provide.”
EQT will need to perform a title search and obtain a title opinion. Just because a mineral company mentions you have NPRI interest, they are not always correct. The title in WV is very complex and is one of the most challenging states for oil and gas titles. EQT is also behind on two acquisition purchases with TH production and Chevron. This process could take months, up to a year or more. I suggest sending a certified letter with a signature required to EQT.
Please note that if EQT comes back and mentions that their title came back showing no ownership, I would then contact a good oil and gas attorney to run out a certified title, but this can be costly.
