Where We Buy · West Virginia · Harrison County ## Sell your Harrison County mineral rights. Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Shinnston: core wet gas Marcellus in the liquids fairway, a gas hub since the 1890s, and the middle of a very large payor change. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) 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.

Questions ## Straight answers for Harrison County owners Can Antero or EQT deduct processing costs from my Harrison County royalty? Generally not, and this county is where it matters most because the gas is liquids rich. West Virginia follows the marketable product rule from Wellman through Estate of Tawney, which requires any cost allocation clause to expressly provide for deductions, identify them with particularity, and state the calculation method. Most leases fail that test. In June 2025 the Supreme Court of Appeals decided Romeo v. Antero Resources and extended the rule to the point of sale and to natural gas liquids specifically. If your Harrison County check shows processing or fractionation deductions, that is worth a question. My royalty is about to be paid by a different company. What happened? Antero agreed to buy HG Energy II's northern West Virginia Marcellus position, roughly 385,000 net acres, effective January 1, 2026 and closing in the second quarter of 2026. That changes the payor for a large number of Harrison area royalty owners. Separately, Arsenal Resources explored a sale in 2026. Payor changes are the most common reason owners think a royalty stopped when it has only moved. Send us the old and new statements and we will read them. I have an old lease that pays a flat amount per well per year. Is that still valid? Not at that rate. West Virginia Code section 22-6-8 addresses flat rate leases and conditions a drilling permit on the operator agreeing to pay a royalty of at least one eighth, and the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has held the minimum royalty provision does not authorize deducting post production costs from it. Clarksburg has been a gas town since the 1890s, so flat rate leases and shallow versus deep severances are everywhere in this county.
