Natural gas drillers have been producing the fuel from ‘conventional’ gas reservoirs for over 150 years.  New shale gas production technologies have opened wider areas for exploration, including Marcellus, Utica, and Upper Devonian shale formations.  Many landowners may have property leased for the purposes of conventional gas production, but may be approached to have their leases amended in order to meet unit size standards or other conditions of unconventional shale gas production.

This workshop is intended to help landowners under lease to understand what their options might be if shale gas production is to occur.
