Where We Buy · Pennsylvania · Westmoreland County ## Sell your Westmoreland County mineral rights. Greensburg, Latrobe, Murrysville: one of the few Pennsylvania counties with real deep Utica development, on top of one of the oldest gas fields in the country. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Westmoreland County is one of the more interesting places in Pennsylvania to own minerals, because two things are true at once: it sits outside the Marcellus wet gas sweet spot, and it is one of the few Pennsylvania counties with genuine deep Utica development. CNX, EQT, XPR Resources, Olympus Energy, Huntley and Huntley, Snyder Brothers, and Infinity Natural Resources are all active, and deep Utica wells in southwest Pennsylvania have been reported outperforming Marcellus on rate of return. That makes the depth and formation language in your lease the highest value question on your tract. An older Marcellus era instrument may or may not capture the Point Pleasant, and an interest with unencumbered deep rights is worth materially more. We read it first. The county also carries an enormous conventional history. The Murrysville gas field, discovered in 1878, is one of the oldest commercial gas fields in the country, and roughly 9,700 wells have been drilled here against only about 380 active. Century old leases and reservations remain of record. Two title traps recur. Pittsburgh seam coal severances are pervasive, and under U.S. Steel v. Hoge coalbed methane belongs to the coal owner rather than the gas owner. And underground gas storage is common in western Pennsylvania, which can encumber a formation independently of production. Suburban parcel fragmentation also produces many small cotenancy interests. We buy those, with no minimum. Send the lease and a deed.

Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Marcellus, lean to dry gas Productive but explicitly outside the wet gas sweet spot, which sits west in Greene and Washington. ### Deep Utica, dry gas Genuinely developed here, which is rare in Pennsylvania. Infinity Natural Resources lists deep dry Utica across Westmoreland, Armstrong, and Indiana, and CNX and Olympus affiliated operators have drilled it in the Westmoreland to Allegheny corridor. ### Upper Devonian and shallow conventional An enormous historic well population, roughly 9,700 wells drilled against only about 380 active.

Questions ## Straight answers for Westmoreland County owners Does my Westmoreland County lease cover the deep Utica? This is the question worth the most money in this county, and it is not rhetorical. Westmoreland is one of very few Pennsylvania counties with genuine deep Utica development, and deep Utica wells in southwest Pennsylvania have been reported outperforming Marcellus on rate of return. Whether an older Marcellus era lease captures the Point Pleasant depends on the depth and formation language in your specific instrument. We read it before quoting, because an interest with unencumbered deep rights is worth materially more than one without. My deed reserves coal. Who owns the coalbed methane? 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, not to the owner of the oil and gas. That is a genuine ownership trap and it is distinct from the Dunham Rule. Westmoreland is Pittsburgh seam coal country with pervasive 19th century coal severances, so this comes up regularly. It is worth having someone read the reservation language rather than assuming. There is a gas storage field near me. Does that affect my minerals? It can. Pennsylvania DEP counts 48 active underground gas storage fields across 26 counties, and storage is a recurring issue in western Pennsylvania. Storage rights can commit a specific formation and can sit with a different party than your oil and gas lessee, encumbering the mineral estate independently of production. We check for it in the title work rather than assuming your rights are clear. Free Valuation ## Find out what your Westmoreland County minerals are worth. Free, no obligation, and no pressure.
