This treatise, with forms, deals with the recent explosion of issues involving Pennsylvania oil and gas law including commercial leasing, drilling, producing and marketing of its hydrocarbon resources, especially in the Marcellus Shale region.
In 2012, Pennsylvania oil and gas law found itself subject to an explosion of issues involving commercial leasing, drilling, producing and marketing of its hydrocarbon resources, particularly gas resources in the Marcellus shale region. This explosion of legal issues is ongoing and becoming more complex. Of particular concern to legal professionals in Pennsylvania are (1) conveyancing issues, such as reservations and exceptions of oil and gas interests, (2) unitization issues, (3) oil and gas leasing issues, (4) drilling issues, including water usage and disposal and (5) emerging upstream, midstream and downstream regulatory schemes.
The oil and gas industry includes exploration, production, refining, transporting and marketing oil, gas and related petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline. Oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons are also the base material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics. The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major components: (1) upstream, (2) midstream and (3) downstream. The term “upstream” usually includes exploration and production of oil, gas and related hydrocarbons. “Midstream” usually encompasses transmission and transportation of hydrocarbons, including oil and gas pipelines. “Downstream” usually encompasses refining and related operations.
The first commercial oil well in the United States was in 1859, when oil was successfully drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has experienced a major boom with the ongoing development of the Marcellus shale gas formation.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
James W. Adams Jr. has edited and published extensively on energy law, real property, litigation and corporate law. He is a frequent MCLE speaker and author for organizations such as the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation, the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation, West Group, CCH, Inc., Thomson-West Publishing, Matthew Bender & Co, and Lexis Nexis. With over 30 years of legal experience in the energy industry, Mr. Adams has assisted oil, gas, and energy industry clients in a variety of transactions, including upstream and midstream matters, asset acquisitions and divestitures, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and litigation. He has extensive experience litigating property and energy-related disputes, as well as in other types of commercial litigation. Mr. Adams was named a LEXIS NEXIS® Expert Commentator in 2008, and was admitted to SCRIBES, The American Society of Writers on Legal Subjects in 2003.

Harry Weiss is a partner in the Environment and Natural Resources Group at the Philadelphia office of the national law firm of Ballard Spahr, LLP. He has represented landowners, banks and energy companies in connection with leasing and other transactions in the Marcellus, Barnett, Permian Basin and Utica shale formations. Mr. Weiss also litigates on behalf of energy industry clients issues before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, as well as disputes over title to oil and gas estates in the Pennsylvania state court system. A frequent speaker on the environmental impacts of unconventional oil and gas exploration, he has appeared at gatherings of industry, bankers, real estate lawyers, opponents and proponents of unconventional drilling, law enforcement agencies and conservation groups. Mr Weiss has published articles in business and trade journals concerning environmental regulation of unconventional drilling, and has also assisted North Carolina's Office of Attorney General in that state's effort to update its oil and gas regulations to account for newer methods of oil and gas exploration.
J.C. Wilkinson, III (Jay) concentrates his practice on Oil and Gas Title and related issues. He has assisted both energy industry clients and landowner clients in their title confirmation processes throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He graduated from Dickinson College (B.S. 1985) in Carlisle PA with a major in Economics and a minor in Geology. In 2000, he returned to Carlisle PA and obtained his law degree from the Dickinson School of Law (J.D. 2003). Attorney Wilkinson has rendered thousands of Opinions of Oil and Gas Title for properties across Pennsylvania. Additionally, he has extensive title litigation experience and has served both as leading and support counsel in cases involving the sub-surface rights to over 20,000 net mineral acres. Attorney Wilkinson is an active member of the Energy and Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) and the American Association of Petroleum Landmen (AAPL). Licensure as an Attorney with the State Bar of Ohio is pending. Attorney Wilkinson is a recognized authority on Oil and Gas title issues that are unique to Pennsylvania.
