Marshall County, along with Wetzel and Tyler counties, is in the West Virginia wet-gas window where condensate and NGL yields meaningfully lift realizations above dry-gas pricing. Both the Marcellus and Utica are economic targets here, often developed in stacked-pay programs. We value Marshall County interests against actual recent realizations from the unit (which capture the wet-gas uplift) rather than a generic dry-gas Henry Hub price.

West Virginia's cotenancy statute allows a supermajority of mineral owners on a tract to authorize development over the objection of a minority cotenant, with specific notice and opportunity-to-lease procedures. This shifted the negotiating dynamic for non-consenting owners — refusing to lease no longer reliably blocks development. For prospective sellers, the practical effect is that even tracts with one or two holdouts can move forward, and our underwriting reflects whether and how the cotenancy procedure has been used on the unit.

West Virginia royalty deduction practice has been the subject of multiple court cases (Tawney, Estate of Tawney, Leggett, Wellman). The short version: whether processing, gathering, and transportation costs can be charged against your royalty depends on the specific lease language and how courts have interpreted similar wording. A modern lease with explicit post-production cost language is treated differently than an old lease with generic royalty provisions. We always read the actual lease and recent check stubs before pricing a Marshall County interest.

Closings on Marshall 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.
