Sell your Harrison County mineral rights.

Harrison County is core wet gas Marcellus in the Doddridge to Harrison to Ritchie liquids fairway, feeding the MarkWest Sherwood processing complex. Antero is dominant, with EQT, Arsenal Resources, HG Energy, and Diversified also present. About 2,880 wells produce out of roughly 5,900 on file, the vast majority of those old shallow wells.

Because the gas here is liquids rich, this is the county where West Virginia's post production cost rule is worth the most. Under Wellman and Estate of Tawney, a lease clause allocating those costs to the lessor must expressly provide for it, identify the deductions with particularity, and state the calculation method. Most leases do not. And in June 2025 the Supreme Court of Appeals decided Romeo v. Antero Resources, extending the point of sale rule to processing, fractionating, and transporting residue gas and natural gas liquids. That decision is directly about the kind of gas produced here, and almost nobody in this business is writing about it.

A very large payor change is also in progress. Antero agreed to acquire HG Energy II's roughly 385,000 net acre northern West Virginia position, effective January 1, 2026 and closing in the second quarter. Expect statements to change hands.

Clarksburg has been a gas hub since the 1890s, so flat rate leases, shallow versus deep severances, and heavily fragmented cotenancy are routine. We read all of it, tell you what your lease actually permits, and show you the value with and without deductions. Free.
