What Price Are You Getting for Gas? Last Update: March 25, 2011

Hello Everyone,

 

Here are the latest numbers.  If anyone else wishes to participate and provide data for my survey, please follow the instructions below.  I welcome all data.

I am now asking each respondent to provide me the following:

Section/Township/Range -- everyone (if you are in Texas, tell me your county, and the survey)

If you get your check from Chesapeake, please tell me:
Price received (before severence tax)
Does your lease entitle you to cost-free royalties?

If you get your check from one of the others,  please tell me:
Company you leased to
Company who is operating the well
Gross price
Please tell me each deduction, and the amount.
Net amount (before severence tax).  [I know, gross minus deductions ought to equal net, but I just want to make sure.]
Does your lease entitle you to cost-free royalties?

If you are WI or UMO:
Company operating the well
Gross price
Please tell me each deduction, and the amount.
Net amount (before severence tax).  [I know, gross minus deductions ought to equal net, but I just want to make sure.]

Please send me the information via GHS email.  This discussion is getting too large, and sometimes a post gets lost if I don't check in for 24 hours.  All info will be kept confidential. I will continue to post back what I learn periodically. Thanks in advance.

Crockett Well #1 --- SM Energy pays 95%, Encana will pay the other 5%. These are the figures from SM Energy.

 

I have several prices you can add

 

8/10 = 3.81

9/10 = 3.73, 3.78

10/10 = 3.44

11/10 = 3.27

Pamela,

Can you tell me two things?

1,  Where is your well located?  Either Section-Township-Range (if you are in LA) or the Survey and County (if you are in TX).

2.  Do you have cost-free royalties?  I'm guessing you do, but I'd like it confirmed that the prices you showed are the gross price (after severance tax), and no other deductions have been taken.

Thanks.

Henry,

 

I was told by someone who is in the know, that they can't take out severance tax until the well is paid for.  Do you know if this is correct or not?

Linda,

 

STATUTORY CITATION: R.S. 47:633(7)(c)(iii)  

On any horizontally drilled well or any horizontal recompletion from which production commences after July 31, 1994, all severance tax shall be suspended for a period of 24 months or until payout of well cost is achieved, whichever comes first.  Payout of well cost shall be the cost of completing the well to commencement of production.

What if some severance tax WAS withheld from a horizontally drilled well (prior to payout of well cost).  If it was not supposed to be held out, then is there a tax form to fill out to get it back when you pay your taxes? If not, then what do you do?

Just to be clear, this is only the rule in Louisiana, not Texas.

Thanks for the clarification.  I am talking about Louisiana, though.

FXEF,

 


Does that statute just apply to Louisiana, or is it a Federal Statute?

That is a Louisiana statute.

Linda,

The statute I posted in a previous post only applies to Louisiana. Each state defines severance of their minerals differently. The link below may help explain the guide lines for surrounding states.
