Sell mineral rights in Washington County
Washington County, valued by people who read the rock.
Washington County is where the Marcellus began — the first commercial well in the play was drilled here in the mid-2000s. Today it’s a liquids-rich core, where the gas comes up with valuable ethane and propane and a deep Utica bench waits beneath much of the same ground.
The lay of the land
Owning minerals in Washington County.
The wet-gas window through Washington means your acreage is paid on more than methane: natural-gas liquids can lift the economics well above a dry-gas county, but only if the offer prices the full product stream. A buyer who values your wells as plain gas is leaving part of what you own on the table.
Pennsylvania has no township-and-range survey, so we work from your deed, the tax-parcel records, and the operator’s unit filings against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Oil and Gas Management data to locate exactly what you hold — and we read the old deed language carefully, because Pennsylvania’s Dunham Rule can decide whether a “minerals” reservation even includes the gas.

Common questions
Asked by Washington County owners.
I hear Washington County is “wet gas.” Why does that matter for my minerals?
Wet-gas wells produce natural-gas liquids — ethane, propane, butane — alongside the methane, which can add meaningful value when it’s priced in. We value the full stream your wells yield, not just the gas, so the number reflects everything your acreage actually produces.
My Washington County deed just says “minerals.” Do I own the oil and gas?
Not necessarily — Pennsylvania’s Dunham Rule presumes a bare “minerals” reservation excludes oil and gas unless the deed says otherwise. It’s a real, century-old wrinkle we sort out (with a Pennsylvania attorney’s help) before any price discussion, because we only buy what genuinely conveys to you.
