This is the last chance before Albany's summer recess and fall ELECTIONS to show our leaders that NYers support gas! It is time to go to Albany again! Only this time landowners, trade Union members, and members of "Unshackle Upstate New York" (representing the business community) will be there in partnership to show leaders that all of NY supports developing natural gas now. But YOU need to be there in solidarity to make this a success!

Previous pro-gas events have been successful but now we need to show our leaders that NYers from all walks of life are united in supporting gas NOW! Every voice counts! Every landowner, worker, and business person is needed! ALL HANDS ON DECK! S.O.S!

Alta To Sell Lease Holdings In The Marcellus (PA)

According to the Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires, Alta is reportedly about to sell approximately 42,000 acres in the Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale to Williams (WMB) for $501 million. Williams will also purchase a 5% overriding royalty interest on the acreage for $84 million, which will lower its royalty burden. The Pennsylvania acreage represents about 1.2 trillion cu. ft. in potential natural gas reserves. After the deal is complete, Williams will hold about 94,000 acres in the area. Williams said Tuesday, it plans to spend an additional $55 million for drilling and other activities in the region this year, growing to $100 million to $200 million by 2012 as operations expand.
