In 2005 Penn State Cooperative Extension in Tioga County, (led by Earle Robbins, CED) responded to the requests for information on natural gas leasing by developing a small workshop. The workshop featured speakers from energy companies, landmen, consultants, lawyers, and regulatory agencies, each presenting information on their role in the exploration and leasing process. After thousands of landowner participants and dozens of counties were impacted, this workshop has evolved with the same basic goal, to help private landowners understand the process of gas exploration and leasing. The Natural Gas Exploration and Leasing (NGEL) for Landowners Workshops review what the gas resource is, PA DEP permitting and inspection issues, negotiating and understanding gas leases, and issues related to Clean & Green, CREP and other governmental programs. A panel of speakers features local energy companies, consultants, geologists, and governmental agencies. A question and answer period follows all sessions.
