Harrison County (Bridgeport / Clarksburg area) has been a hydrocarbon county for over a century, with shallow Berea, Big Lime, Big Injun, and Upper Devonian production layered on top of the modern Marcellus / Utica horizontal program. Antero Resources is the dominant horizontal operator; Diversified Energy holds much of the conventional legacy. A Harrison County interest can have multiple revenue streams and multiple lease histories on a single deed; we map each before pricing.

Antero markets its gas and NGLs through Antero Midstream, an affiliated gathering and processing company. The deductions that flow through to royalty owners reflect midstream fees that the operator pays to its affiliate. Whether those fees are properly deductible against a specific royalty depends on the lease language, the relationship between Antero and Antero Midstream, and how WV courts treat affiliated-party deductions under Tawney and its progeny. A specific deduction line worth understanding rather than ignoring; we read the lease and stubs before pricing.

Long histories of severance, partition, and intestate succession make Harrison County title meaningful but tractable. Common issues include heir-property fractions from un-probated estates, double-severances (coal severed early, oil and gas severed later), and ambiguous "minerals" reservations under WV's default rules. We do the title work as part of underwriting; clean offers come back even on tracts owners assume are unsellable.

Closings on Harrison 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.
