Description

Does Lease to Drill for Natural Gas Qualify as Title Transaction under Dormant Mineral Act?

Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C., et al. v. Kenneth Buell et al., Case no. 2014-0067

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division

ISSUES:

Is a recorded lease of the mineral rights beneath a property a title transaction under the Ohio Dormant Mineral Act (ODMA)?
