Utica and Marcellus Shale Leasing Program

Our knowledge, experience, history, and contacts in the oil and gas business give landowners the unique opportunity to have their acreage shown to all of the major oil and gas companies who have or desire to have operations in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays.

Our experience is unparalleled. We have two members of the Ohio Oil and Gas Hall of Fame (Henry S. Belden, IV and Leo A. Schrider), and a Petroleum Geologist (John B. Thomas) who has been responsible for several significant finds in the Appalachian Basin. In addition, we recently added Daniel J. Passerini, who has extensive oil and gas leasing experience. Their bios may be found on our Professionals Page. We also have experience in shale lease transactions and have several active oil and gas investments.

This offers you significant advantages:

• Extensive knowledge and experience
• Oil and gas geologic support
• Industry contacts
• Local representation with global experience
• The benefits of aggregating acreage with similar landowners
• Compensation is based only on lease bonus payments; we do not share in your royalty payments

We are also glad to put you in touch with landowners from our transaction last year, which included acreage in Columbiana and Carroll Counties, Ohio.
