Legal Issues for Land Owners

Land owners have a particular interest in the development of gas drilling in our area whether they have a gas lease or not.  The Cornell Cooperative Extension held a forum addressing this topic and has provided video of the event. 

Topics in  part 1 include Gas Leases and Real Property Law by Randy Marcus, Esq.; Regulatory Issues and Pipelines by Helen Slottje, Esq.; Compulsory Integration, Landman Tactics & Tips by Jane Welsh, Esq. and Landowner Issues & Coalitions by Guy Krogh, Esq. Part 2 is the question and answer session that followed the presentations. Originally held October 29, 2009 at the Cornell Vet School Auditorium.  For more information from Cornell Cooperative Extension on gas leasing, please visit their website's Gas Drilling Library.
