Federal Court OKs Chevron Post-Production Deductions in PA
May 12, 2021April 20, 2022

Once again the infamous 2010 Pennsylvania Supreme Court case, Kilmer v. Elexco, rears its ugly head. In a decision filed by the U.S. District Court in Western PA, the judges invoke Kilmer v. Elexco as the excuse to grant Chevron the right to deduct a cumulative $54,834 from royalty payments to a Greene County, PA landowner (out of $266,196) even though the original lease says royalties should be paid “at the wellhead” price.

Slowdown in Marcellus/Utica Drilling Hurts Western PA Economy
May 4, 2021May 4, 2021

Anecdotally it seems as though there has been less drilling activity in the Marcellus/Utica over the past year. Some say it’s due to the coronavirus pandemic. Others say there’s more to it than that. If you’ve tracked public announcements by drilling companies, they claim to have pulled back on drilling and won’t increase current levels of drilling even when/if the price of natural gas increases. Why? They must turn a profit, or investors leaving for greener pastures (pun intended). But is there really less drilling happening in the M-U today than say one year ago?
