Sell mineral rights in Susquehanna County
Susquehanna County, valued by people who read the rock.
Susquehanna County, in Pennsylvania’s northeast corner, sits over some of the most prolific dry-gas wells in the United States. The Marcellus here is pure methane — no liquids — but the rates are enormous, and the whole value story turns on gas prices and the pipelines to move the gas east.
The lay of the land
Owning minerals in Susquehanna County.
Dry-gas acreage is paid on volume, so your value tracks natural-gas prices and Appalachian basis closely — and northeast Pennsylvania has long been takeaway-constrained, with local gas selling at a discount to the national benchmark when pipelines fill up. A valuation that ignores where gas and takeaway are headed isn’t a valuation; it’s a guess.
Pennsylvania uses metes-and-bounds rather than township-and-range, and northeast PA title often traces to old farm warrants split among many heirs. We work from your deed and the operator’s unit filings against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Oil and Gas Management records — at our cost — to pin down exactly what you hold before quoting anything.

Common questions
Asked by Susquehanna County owners.
My Susquehanna County wells are huge producers — why have my checks dropped?
Two reasons usually: the steep early decline that even the best Marcellus wells follow, and soft Appalachian gas prices when takeaway is tight. Neither means the gas is gone. We value the remaining reserves at forward prices rather than reading a single month’s check as the trend.
There’s no section number on my Pennsylvania minerals. How do you locate them?
Pennsylvania has no PLSS grid, so we use your deed, the county tax-parcel records, and the operator’s unit and permit filings to locate exactly what you own. It’s a little more reading than a township-and-range state — and it’s the homework we do at our own cost before any number.
