When I was first contacted by the Antero landman, out of the blue……he asked me for my name and if I know of any mineral rights I had in my name in Wetzel and Tyler county that I might have. I told him that my mom had some, but that she passed in 2021 and they were NOT mentioned in the will. My mom got them when my dad passed in 1974, and my grandfather in 1976…..so he did his digging and found me and my two siblings and three cousins that indeed had rights in these two counties. I did NOT have to do anything to prove heirship but I did sign the lease agreement and pooling agreement. That was in late 2023 and I got a lease bonus payment and four wells in Wetzel started to pay royalties this summer, with the first one being for March to June. Then monthly payments.
