Land and Natural Resource acquisition
Middlesex Energy Partners LLC is a buyer and Lessee of natural gas, oil, coal, standing timber, and timber land.
If you are selling your land, timber, or oil and gas rights, let us give you a competitive bid. If you are interested in leasing your oil and gas, or leasing your coal, we may be interested. In any event, any evaluation of your situation is free.
If we cannot utilize your property in one of our prospects, we can often work with our industry partners to get you a deal you will be happy with. I will address each industry segment below.
Oil & Natural Gas: Middlesex Energy Partners LLC has intimate knowledge of the disposition of the oil and gas within our operational area. We have a good idea of what is leased, what is likely un-leased, what is held by producing wells, and who operates those leases. We use this knowledge to put together our own prospects for industry partners, that will drill and operate the wells. We are not well operators, and are not beholden to any particular operator. We have performed all aspects of lease acquisition, whether through new leasing activity, or farmouts of older leases held by producing wells. We have worked with operators of older leases and done all of the title, curative work, lease ratification, and lease modification necessary to make unconventional drilling possible. We can perform these services for those shallow lease operators that want to make their HBP acreage marketable for Shale exploration companies, and for landowners that are held by producing wells that want to see if they can still profit from the drilling activity as their un-leased neighbors have.
It has become clear that although the Marcellus shale has proven to be rich in natural gas, it could be years, or even decades until any particular tract is leased, included in a drilling unit, and ultimately developed and produced. That reality, has made the option of selling your oil and gas rights, or a portion of them, a viable option to many landowners, or owners of severed oil and gas rights. We can act as both buyers of oil and gas rights, brokers to industry partners, or managers to help you decide what the best option is for you. (See Oil and Gas Management)
Timber: Middlesex Energy Partners LLC is an active buyer of timber and timber land through Forestland Management Group. For more information on timber and timber management, please refer to Timber Acquisition and Management . In the Northern portion of our operational area timber is often times the most valuable component of the total land value. More valuable than even the surface rights, or the oil, gas or coal rights. Timber is certainly the most liquid part of land value. Meaning, that timber can be readily turned into cash within a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, a hasty decision regarding your timber sale can effect your land value for decades, so landowners owe it to themselves to make an informed decision.
Coal: Middlesex Energy Partners, LLC is actively seeking surface mining leases in Western Pennsylvania. Even though all of the news you hear concerning the coal industry declares that the industry is dead, it is not. There is still a market for steam coal and metallurgical coal and we get frequent calls from coal operators seeking leases. No doubt about it, the coal business is much smaller and the future is not bright, but the right coal lease can still be very profitable for both the operator and the landowner. If you think that you may have coal that can be mined using surface (strip) mining, give us a call. We would be happy to discuss your options.
