Lycoming County is dry gas Marcellus with a genuinely active drilling program, producing roughly 46.6 million Mcf in a recent month, about 7 percent of Pennsylvania's total and fifth in the state. EQT is the largest operator, with Range, Pennsylvania General Energy, Seneca, Expand, and Inflection all working here.

The defining local feature is state forest. Tiadaghton and Loyalsock cover an enormous share of the county, and the mineral ownership underneath is not uniform. The Clarence Moore lands in Loyalsock State Forest, roughly 25,600 acres where the Commonwealth holds the surface but the oil and gas were severed to the heirs of a 19th century lumber baron, is one of the best known split estate situations in the country. Chains like that are real, they are worth money, and they need someone who will read them properly rather than assume the state owns everything.

There is also deep conventional shallow gas history in the valleys, which leaves old leases and shallow rights questions in the record.

As everywhere in Pennsylvania, deductions are lawful under Kilmer v. Elexco, so your lease language decides a large part of what your interest is worth. We read it and show you the arithmetic both ways. Deep Utica beneath is unproven and we price it as option value with the probability stated rather than promised.

Send the lease and a statement. Free, no obligation.

Questions

## Straight answers for Lycoming County owners

Is Lycoming County still being drilled?
Yes. Lycoming carries active horizontal development on a mature base, roughly 1,000 active wells out of about 2,100 drilled. EQT ARO operates around 371 wells, a position that came from EQT's 2021 Alta Resources acquisition. Range Resources Appalachia runs about 160, Pennsylvania General Energy about 132, Seneca Resources about 123, and Expand Energy about 52. Inflection Energy is also present.

My minerals are under state forest land. What does that mean?
It depends entirely on who owns the minerals, and Lycoming is the county where that question is most complicated in Pennsylvania. Tiadaghton and Loyalsock State Forests cover enormous acreage here. The Clarence Moore lands in Loyalsock State Forest, roughly 25,600 acres where the Commonwealth holds the surface but the oil and gas were severed to the private heirs of a 19th century lumber baron, is a nationally known split estate tangle. If your family traces to a severance like that, the interest is real and it is worth having someone read the chain properly.

Is the deep Utica worth anything under my Lycoming acreage?
Honestly, we do not know yet and neither does anyone else. Seneca has tested the deep Utica in the Lycoming and Tioga area, but it is not developed at scale and commerciality is not established. We price undeveloped deep rights as option value with a stated probability rather than promising them, and we show you what probability we used. A buyer who assigns full value to unproven Utica here is selling you a story.
