Energy Companies in PA Must Now Disclose Gas Well Production Numbers Every Six Months

| |

Faster disclosure of gas well production data is coming to Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, March 16 the PA Senate passed a bill already passed by the PA House that would force drilling companies to disclose gas well production data every six months. The existing law, passed 25 years ago, allows drillers to keep production numbers secret for five years. No more. Gov. Ed Rendell has said he will sign the new measure into law.

What does it mean for landowners in PA? You’ll now have access to the numbers to ensure your royalty payments are timely—and accurate.
