Sell mineral rights in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is one of the largest natural gas producers in the country, almost all of it from the Marcellus Shale. Royalty income from Pennsylvania mineral rights depends heavily on gas prices and on the deductions taken before your check is cut. Both show up in a buyer's offer, so gather your recent statements before you sell mineral rights in Pennsylvania.
Where Pennsylvania mineral rights buyers are most active
In the southwest, Washington, Greene and Butler counties produce wet gas with natural gas liquids. In the northeast, Susquehanna, Bradford, Tioga, Lycoming and Wyoming counties produce dry gas from some of the most productive wells in the Marcellus.

What buyers check on Pennsylvania mineral rights
Pennsylvania has no severance tax; producers pay an impact fee on unconventional wells instead. Post-production deductions for gathering and processing can still take a large share of a royalty check, depending on your lease. Buyers value your mineral rights on the net amount you receive.
Buyers also check how many wells your unit holds and whether the operator has permitted more. Deeds and leases are recorded with the county recorder of deeds, and buyers pull them as part of title work when you sell mineral rights in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania mineral rights questions
Why are my Pennsylvania royalty checks so different month to month?
Gas prices, deductions and new wells coming online all move them. Buyers usually average your last 6 to 12 months of statements when they price mineral rights.
Do deductions lower what buyers offer for Pennsylvania mineral rights?
Yes. Buyers work from the net royalty you actually receive, so a lease that allows heavy gathering and processing deductions draws a lower offer than one that doesn't.
