Natural Gas Leasing

Jamie and Annie Ulrich signed a lease with a drilling company allowing for the extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus shale thousands of feet beneath their property. I visited their home in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania to photograph them for an article in the upcoming issue of Penn State Agriculture magazine. That issue comes out in January 2009.

The Ulrich’s experience in the leasing process is featured in the article along with work done by Penn State Extension to help landowners understand the issues, opportunities, and pitfalls related to the gas exploration now underway in Pennsylvania. You can find a lot more information about this issue at the Penn State Web site Natural Gas Impacts.
