Gas Lease Workshop on Force Majeure and Lease Termination
May 12, 7-9 PM
Dryden Fire Hall
26 North Street
Two attorneys will cover issues of force majeure and lease termination, for people who have signed gas drilling leases. Presenters will be Chris Denton, an Elmira attorney with extensive experience in gas leasing issues, who works with clients who have received Force Majeure letters from gas companies. Denton is advising the Joint Landowner Coalition on a draft lease document protective of landowners. Denton will talk about Force Majeure and what to do if you get such a letter from the gas company claiming that the lease is extended. The second presenter is attorney Joe Heath who will talk about lease termination, and what to do to clear your title if your lease has terminated but the gas company has not filed papers with the county clerk clearing your title. They will be joined by landowner Mike Bosetti who recently went through this process to clear his title. Joe and Mike are members of GDACC.
