Welcome to the Natural Gas Leasing Forum For Landowners

In the book "The Richest Man In Babylon", the following advice is given; "If one is investing in precious stones, it is unwise to ask a fish vendor for an opinion".

Our goal is to make it easier for landowners considering natural gas leasing to network together and acquire relevant information about the benefits and pitfalls of leasing land for natural gas and oil, and we have been making a difference. So much so that we have been featured in articles by Time, The American Assn. of Petroleum Geologists and The Wall Street Journal.

Lease Addenda Project Started

Natural gas lease addenda projectAs a virtual community we have become one of the largest landowner coalitions in the country. Some of our members decided to take it upon themselves to take a bad "boiler-plate" lease and create a lease with landowner friendly addenda. By working through the process online, you can better understand how clauses written into leases can affect not only you but your land for generations to come. (Note: You must be a registered forum member to view this)

Special Classifieds Section

List your business and articles for sale or leaseAs we have watched the forum grow, we have found that a need exists for landowners, and groups of landowners, to be able to let companies know that they are interested in negotiating a lease for natural gas or oil.

Here, you can also find professional services, list your business, or list items for sale.Read more...

So... The landman has plopped down a natural gas lease agreement on the table and is offering you more money per acre than you paid for the farm itself! What to do? Start acquiring infomation about what it is that he/she is asking of you. Read More....

Discuss Natural Gas Leasing Issues

There is far too much at risk to "go it alone". Signing a natural gas lease represents a legal committment that can have a profound effect on your property, and your heirs for generations.

With so much at stake, you can join with other landowners to air out the issues and get the information you need to make wise decisions.Join Discussions
