Penn State Extension to host Shale Mineral Management workshop
Penn State Extension is hosting a “Shale Mineral Management for the Landowner” workshop on Monday, Oct. 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Penn State Fayette, Corporate Training Center, Room 116-Eberly Bldg., in Uniontown.
Are you as a landowner receiving royalty checks and not fully understanding how the current trends and production figures mesh with your royalty payments? Do you have questions on how to interpret the information provided on your royalty stubs? Expert speakers, including Dan Brockett, a Marcellus Education Team Educator from Penn State Extension; Steven Franckhauser and Mike Johnson, Director and Associate, respectively, of HBK Energy LLC; and Joseph Baran, Principal with Bertison-George will provide a comprehensive program to help royalty owners understand how current drilling production and utilization trends can affect their royalties.
The team will also provide great insight for landowners on the process of relating operations to royalties. Important mineral management resources available to the landowner to assist in reviewing their lease and royalty payments will be discussed. Experts will help to unravel the mystery of royalty pay stubs, a high interest topic for many landowners.
This workshop is a must for landowners who are receiving royalty payments or are involved in an active unit of the Shale play and seek a better understanding of how their royalty payments are calculated and other factors considered in the determination of payment.
