Harrison County, West Virginia
Harrison County, West Virginia Mineral Rights
Harrison County has a long oil and gas history and is an established part of West Virginia's Marcellus Shale development trend.
Harrison County has experienced conventional oil and gas development as well as Marcellus Shale leasing, horizontal drilling and natural gas production. Producing wells, established drilling units and remaining development potential can create premium opportunities for certain mineral properties in the county.
Marcellus Shale Development in Harrison County
Producing wells, unit development, permitting activity and operator acreage positions all contribute to the market for mineral rights in Harrison County.
The development history of a property does not tell the entire story. Nearby well performance, unit configuration, lease terms, remaining undeveloped acreage and future drilling plans can vary by area and from one tract to the next, resulting in different levels of market interest.
What Can Affect the Value of Harrison 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
