If I were you, I would scan the West Virginia Minerals category and ready everything that is there over the last couple of years. There are some very helpful folks on that part of the forum. Copy and paste any links that they share into a spreadsheet so you can save them.
Look up the West Virginia Oil and Gas Commission or whatever it is called. Then you can find if they have documents that might be helpful to owners.
The National Association of Royalty Owners (NARO) has an Appalachian Chapter which has quite knowledgeable mineral owners as their directors. Some of them are from WV. You can find their names online at the National website. www.naro-us.org
You can also look on the Directories tab at the top of the forum for professionals that have posted their services.
Check the county courthouse or your county and see if they are online.
