Where We Buy · West Virginia · Monongalia County ## Sell your Monongalia County mineral rights. Morgantown, Westover, Blacksville: dry gas Marcellus with a local operator, longwall coal to the west, and an unusual number of very small cotenancy interests. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Monongalia County is dry gas Marcellus with steady rather than dramatic development, roughly 314 producing wells out of about 1,900 on file. The signature operator is Northeast Natural Energy, based in Morgantown, with about 110 wells, supplying Hope Gas's Morgantown Connector pipeline. Expand Energy, CNX, EQT, and Diversified also operate here. A proposed gas fired generation project in the county is a real forward demand catalyst. Two local features shape ownership. Blacksville and Core longwall coal, now under Core Natural Resources, is severed under much of the western county and constrains where pads and laterals can be placed, the same as in Marion County. That affects development timing on affected tracts. And the university town parcel pattern around Morgantown produces an unusual number of very small tracts with many cotenants. That is why the 2018 cotenancy act is used so heavily here, and it is also why most buyers will not return a call about a Monongalia County interest. We buy small ones, with no minimum, and we pay all closing costs. You can sell your own undivided share without your relatives' signatures, and our page on selling your share when family will not covers how that works. The Department of Energy's MSEEL research wells are located in this county, so subsurface and completion data here is unusually public, which is genuinely useful when valuing a tract. On deductions, Wellman, Tawney, and Romeo v. Antero protect West Virginia royalty owners. We read your lease against that standard. Send it over.

Questions ## Straight answers for Monongalia County owners My Monongalia County interest is very small because it is split among a lot of relatives. Can it still be sold? Yes, and this county is full of exactly that situation. The parcel pattern around Morgantown produces an unusual number of very small tracts with many cotenants, which is why the 2018 Cotenancy Modernization and Majority Protection Act is central to development here. Under chapter 37B, cotenants owning three fourths may consent to development, and a nonconsenting cotenant defaults to a royalty paid on gross proceeds free of post production expenses at the highest rate paid to any consenting cotenant. You can also sell your own undivided share without anyone else's signature. We buy small interests with no minimum. Who is Northeast Natural Energy? A Morgantown based operator and the county's signature company, with roughly 110 wells here. It supplies Hope Gas's Morgantown Connector pipeline, and a gas fired generation project has been proposed in the county, which is a genuine forward demand catalyst for local gas. Expand Energy, CNX, EQT, and Diversified also operate here. Does the coal mining west of Morgantown affect my minerals? It can. Blacksville and Core longwall operations, now under Core Natural Resources, run under much of the western county with coal severed from the surface and the gas. That constrains pad siting and lateral placement the same way it does in Marion County, which affects development timing on affected tracts. It is worth establishing whether your tract sits over active or planned longwall panels before assuming a normal drilling schedule.
