Taylor County, West Virginia
Taylor County, West Virginia Mineral Rights
Taylor County lies within north central West Virginia's Marcellus Shale trend, where mineral interest is highly specific to location and nearby development.
Taylor County has a long history of oil and gas activity and has also experienced Marcellus Shale leasing, horizontal drilling and natural gas production. Development is more concentrated in certain areas, making the location of a mineral property especially important to its market potential.
Marcellus Shale Development in Taylor County
Nearby producing wells, existing and proposed drilling units, permitting activity and operator acreage positions all contribute to the market for mineral rights in Taylor County.
Marcellus development is not uniform across the county. Geology, well performance, unit boundaries, lease terms and future drilling timing can vary considerably. Properties separated by only a few miles may therefore attract very different levels of interest and offer values.
What Can Affect the Value of Taylor County Mineral Rights?
Mineral value is specific to the property—not simply the county. Important considerations may include:
- Exact location within the Marcellus Shale development area
- Nearby producing wells, permits, well pads and horizontal laterals
- Whether the minerals are leased, unleased or already producing
- Royalty percentage and post-production deduction language
