Where We Buy · West Virginia · Marshall County ## Sell your Marshall County mineral rights. Moundsville, Cameron, Glen Dale: top tier dry gas Marcellus with Utica beneath, and longwall coal mining under much of the same ground. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Marshall County is one of West Virginia's top gas producing counties, with top tier dry gas Marcellus deliverability and active long lateral development. It is also one of only a handful of West Virginia counties with genuine Utica wells: Chevron drilled the state's first Utica well here, and Gastar's Simms U-5H followed. EQT is now the dominant operator, having absorbed Chevron Appalachia's position in 2020 and later Tug Hill, with Expand Energy, Diversified, and HG Energy also present. The complicating estate here is coal. Pittsburgh seam longwall operations, including the McElroy and Marshall County complex, run under much of the county. Overlapping coal, gas, and surface estates constrain pad siting and create subsidence and surface use conflicts that show up in title work and can affect when a tract gets developed. It rarely changes who owns the gas, but it changes the timing, and timing is worth money. The Natrium and Proctor industrial corridor adds easement complexity, and old flat rate leases from the shallow gas era remain of record. Under W. Va. Code section 22-6-8 those are converted to a minimum one eighth royalty, and the Supreme Court of Appeals has held that minimum may not be diluted by post production costs. On deductions generally, Wellman and Tawney protect West Virginia royalty owners, and Romeo v. Antero Resources extended the point of sale rule in June 2025. We read your lease against that standard and show you the value both ways. Send the lease and a recent statement. Free, and no obligation.

A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value.

Questions ## Straight answers for Marshall County owners How does longwall coal mining affect my gas royalty? Directly and practically. Pittsburgh seam longwall operations run under much of Marshall County, and overlapping coal, gas, and surface estates constrain where pads and laterals can go. That creates subsidence and surface use conflicts that show up in title work and can affect the timing of development on your tract. It does not usually change who owns the gas, but it can change when and whether it gets drilled, and a serious valuation accounts for that. Is the Utica worth anything under my Marshall County acreage? Some, but be careful how it is priced. Marshall is one of the few West Virginia counties with actual Utica wells, starting with Chevron's first West Virginia Utica well here, but the Utica well count remains small relative to the Marcellus. We treat undeveloped deep rights as option value with a stated probability rather than promising them, and we show you what probability we applied. A buyer assigning full value to Utica here is overselling it; a buyer assigning zero is underpaying you. Who operates in Marshall County now? EQT is the largest, having taken over Chevron Appalachia's Marshall position in 2020 and later adding Tug Hill. Expand Energy, formerly Southwestern Production, is also significant, with Diversified and HG Energy present. Roughly 562 wells produce out of about 2,400 on file.
