Mineral owners and companies are having a little dustup over post-production costs up in PA.  Over the last couple of days, Bradford County has passed a resolution asking that all production be stopped on wells where the mineral owners are receiving little to no royalties, and hired a firm to put together a video on the subject.

Since it’s not West Virginia, and we’re pretty strapped for time right now (check the date of the last blog post), we haven’t been discussing it.  However, Marcellus Drilling News has been reporting about it pretty thoroughly.  It’s a subject that doesn’t get much attention in West Virginia, but should.  There are plenty of mineral owners here who are getting post-production costs removed from their royalty checks.  Most of them shouldn’t.  Here’s the link to the most recent MDN article about the battle in PA.
