Westmoreland County straddles the Marcellus wet-gas window in southwestern PA, with the eastern townships running toward dry gas and the western/northern sections carrying liquids uplift. CNX, Apex/Olympus Energy, and Range Resources are among the operators. The wet-gas portion of the county trades at a meaningful premium to dry-gas areas because condensate and NGL realizations augment the gas line, but the unit-by-unit mix is what we underwrite — there is no flat "Westmoreland County" rate.

Westmoreland has been a major bituminous coal county for over a century, and many tracts have layered severances: coal severed in the 1800s or early 1900s, oil and gas severed separately later, surface owned by a third party today. Pennsylvania's Dunham rule means an old "all minerals" reservation typically does not capture oil and gas absent clear contrary intent — but that is rebuttable, and the documents control. We do this title work as part of underwriting before we send an offer.

Wet-gas wells produce a stream that has to go through a processing plant to extract NGLs (ethane, propane, butanes, natural gasoline). The plant retains a fee, and the operator typically charges the proportional cost back against the royalty unless lease language prohibits it. Pennsylvania's Kilmer line of cases addresses the gross-vs-marketable-product split for the conservation-statute minimum royalty, but private leases often go further. Whether a specific deduction is allowed on your check depends on the lease language and how the operator implements it. We read both before pricing.

Closings on Westmoreland County mineral rights typically take 7 to 30 days from the date you accept our offer, depending on title complexity. We handle county-level title work, PSA drafting, mineral deed preparation, and notary coordination at our expense.

Just a tract description (abstract or survey, section/township/range, or a legal description from your deed) and any recent royalty check stubs if the interest is producing. You do not need to gather deeds or title opinions up front.
