Marketability of Mineral Rights

I don’t think you can PM on this forum, at least I haven’t figured out how to. I read through the previous conversations and based on what I’m seeing from operators, your property is very unlikely to be favorable for a lease. There isn’t any activity in that area, nor have I heard of anything planned up there for the foreseeable future. If you are looking to extract funds from this property, selling will probably be your only option. What WVOGM was referring to with "HBP (held by production) is that if there are any wells at all on your property that produce oil/gas, you’re locked into the historic lease and it cannot be changed. Basically, no one will lease with you because it’s already leased. If you know your parcel number and location, you can use the interactive map they linked to see if any wells are on it. They appear as tiny red dots when you turn on that filter. Red dots means it’s producing. Also, shallow wells did not extend to the Marcellus, only far enough to reach gas.
