I have been contacted about selling my mineral rights in Belmont County, Ohio. They haven’t given me a price yet, but I was wondering if anyone knows what a fair price is per acre? We signed a lease with the same company for $7,000 an acre and a 20% royalty last year, and now they want to buy the rights. Any information would be appreciated.

Will,
It all depends on where you are located in Belmont County, and the other terms in your lease (gross at mouth of well, market enhancement, net, etc.), whether you are pooled/unitized, and the design of the unit - number of lateral feet, size of unit, etc.
If you want me to take a quick look, you can PM me and I’ll see if I can help shed some light on the subject.
Regards, Jeff
Hi Jeff, we have 44 acres in Belmont County and have been offered $3,000 an acre + 20% gross lease. Wonder if you know how those stack up in Belmont County. Thanks very much, have a good day.
