On March 1, 2010 The West Virginia Surface Owners’ Rights Organization expressed serious concerns for a Senate bill that would affect well-drilling laws in the natural gas Marcellus Shale Formation.
According to the Charleston Gazzette, “the Senate Energy, Industry and Mining Committee signed off on the measure (SB369) during a meeting at the back of the Senate chamber. The meeting was announced at the end of the Senate floor session, but was not on any of the public lists of meetings. The Senate is set to vote on the measure Tuesday.”
This bill could have a negative impact on gas royalty owners, as it could give operators the opportunity to drill on the edge of a neighboring mineral owners’ land and drain gas from the mineral owners’ tracts without paying for it.
