Where We Buy · Pennsylvania · Tioga County ## Sell your Tioga County mineral rights. Wellsboro, Mansfield, Blossburg: dry gas Marcellus across a county with large state forest blocks and a 19th century coal and coke history still sitting in the title. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Tioga County is dry gas Marcellus in north central Pennsylvania, producing roughly 40.2 million Mcf in a recent month, about 6 percent of the state total and sixth statewide. Seneca Resources and Repsol are the dominant operators, and the county has continued to appear in DEP permit issuances, so this is a mature area that is still being drilled. Two local features complicate title in ways that are worth money to get right. First, Tioga State Forest covers large blocks where the Commonwealth holds minerals, with scattered private reservations inside. Establishing which is which is the first step on any tract. Second, Blossburg's 19th century coal and coke history left coal severances and corporate timber and coal reservations throughout the chains. Combined with the Dunham Rule, under which a Pennsylvania deed reserving minerals without naming oil or gas presumptively does not reserve them, what a family actually owns here is frequently not what they believe. That cuts both ways and we have seen it go both ways. The shallow Devonian sandstone well population also means shallow versus deep rights language matters. Old shallow leases were not always released, and rights at different depths can sit in different hands. As everywhere in Pennsylvania, deductions are lawful under Kilmer v. Elexco, so we read your lease before quoting anything and show you the value with and without them. Send the lease and a statement.

Seneca Resources is the largest with roughly 470 active wells, followed by Repsol at about 266, Expand Energy about 38, Pennsylvania General Energy about 34, Alliance Petroleum about 32, and STL Resources about 30. Roughly 886 wells are active out of about 2,500 drilled, and Tioga has continued appearing in Pennsylvania DEP permit issuances. My old deed mentions coal. Does that affect my gas rights in Tioga County? Possibly, and it is worth reading carefully. Blossburg was a coal and coke town in the 19th century, and coal severances and corporate timber and coal reservations appear throughout Tioga chains. Separately, under the Dunham Rule a Pennsylvania deed reserving minerals without naming oil or natural gas is presumed not to reserve them. Between those two doctrines, what a Tioga County family actually owns is frequently different from what they assume in either direction. What does having a lot of shallow wells mean for my interest? It means the shallow versus deep rights language in your instruments matters more here than in a county with no conventional history. Tioga has a large population of shallow Devonian sandstone wells alongside modern horizontal Marcellus development, and old shallow leases were not always formally released. A Marcellus operator often has to deal with a stale shallow lease of record, and an owner can hold different rights at different depths. ## Before you sign anything in Tioga County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
