Where We Buy · Pennsylvania · Fayette County ## Sell your Fayette County mineral rights. Uniontown, Connellsville, Masontown: coke country, where coal severances and the coalbed methane ownership rule matter more than the drilling does. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Fayette County is the Connellsville coke region, and its mineral story is a coal story that happens to involve gas. The Marcellus is present but modest, trending dry to lean rather than liquids rich, with the real wet gas fairway west in Greene and Washington. Drilling has effectively stopped: roughly 289 active wells out of about 5,000 drilled, zero permits on file, and about 4.5 million Mcf in a recent month, roughly 0.7 percent of Pennsylvania gas. EQT CHAP holds the legacy Chevron Appalachia position, with Diversified and XTO on the conventional and coalbed methane side. What actually decides ownership here is coal. Under U.S. Steel v. Hoge, coalbed methane in place belongs to the coal owner rather than the oil and gas owner, and 19th century coal severances run through nearly every Fayette chain. Layered on top is the Dunham Rule, under which a Pennsylvania deed reserving minerals without naming oil or gas presumptively does not reserve them. Between the two, what a Fayette County family actually owns is very often not what it believes, in either direction. We read the instruments and tell you. Fayette also has high orphan and abandoned well density with active DEP enforcement, which lengthens diligence on a sale. We deal with that rather than discounting your price for it. Send the deed and any lease you have. We will tell you what you own, what it is worth, and whether selling makes sense at all. Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Marcellus Modest development. Gas character trends dry to lean; the true liquids rich fairway sits west in Greene and Washington. ### Pittsburgh seam coalbed methane Extensive, and the ownership question below is the reason this matters. ### Shallow conventional A very large historic well population, roughly 5,000 wells drilled against only about 289 active.

Questions ## Straight answers for Fayette County owners Who owns the coalbed methane under my Fayette County land? Under United States Steel Corp. v. Hoge, decided by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 1983, coalbed methane in place belongs to the owner of the coal estate, not to the owner of the oil and gas. Fayette is the heart of the Connellsville coke region, and 19th century coal severances are pervasive here. So a family that believes it owns all the gas may own the conventional gas but not the coalbed methane, or the reverse. This is separate from the Dunham Rule and it catches people constantly. Is anyone drilling in Fayette County? Essentially no. Fayette shows roughly 289 active wells out of about 5,000 drilled and zero permits on file, producing about 4.5 million Mcf in a recent month, roughly 0.7 percent of Pennsylvania gas. EQT CHAP operates around 181 wells on the legacy Chevron Appalachia position, Diversified Production about 77 on legacy conventional and coalbed methane, and XTO about 15. Value here sits in existing production and in the coal and CBM ownership question, not in drilling upside. There are abandoned wells on my property. Is that my problem? It is a real issue in Fayette County, which has high orphan and abandoned well density and active Pennsylvania DEP enforcement on unplugged wells. Liability generally follows the operator and the current well owner rather than the mineral owner, but the practical effect on a sale is that title and surface diligence takes longer here. We handle that as part of the transaction rather than discounting your price for it. Free Valuation ## Find out what your Fayette County minerals are worth. Free, no obligation, and no pressure.
