Marcellus Shale 

          Interest in Marcellus shale drilling in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia has spurred a flurry of activity from a multitude of drilling companies.  RTC has been assisting land owners, law firms, and accounting firms in assessing marcellus shale property royalty values, and is fully compliant with IRS filings.

We appraise producing property, properties recently leased for oil and gas, and those not yet leased.  We have also provided assistance to our clients in the review of proposed leases to help assure that leasees do not take advantage of the land owner.

Some of our recent appraisals have involved the following:
  • Oil and gas reserves in northeastern, southwestern, and central Pennsylvania.
  • Oil and gas facilities and reserves in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
  • Oil and gas wells and reserves in numerous West Virginia counties

In addition, RTC was previously retained by the State of Wyoming to provide consultation concerning mineral (specifically oil and gas) appraisal practices.

We have extensive experience in and are very knowledgeable of Marcellus Shale, Devonian Oil and Gas Sands, and many other types of energy mineral deposits. We are active members in local Oil & Gas Societies in Multiple states and attend symposiums and conferences regularly; DUG EAST most recently.
