Pennsylvania Gas Lease Attorneys
Over the last few years, with the rise of the Marcellus Shale market, Ed Bilik's law practice has been geared solely to the representation of landowners in the area of Marcellus gas leasing. He soon realized the need to establish a consulting group to also market his clients' gas rights out to multiple gas companies. He was finding that his clients were in need of more than just legal expertise.
Western PA Gas Leasing Consultants, LLC (WPGLC)
Western PA Gas Leasing Consultants, LLC (WPGLC), is the result of Ed's vision to help residents of Western Pennsylvania. With the inception of WPGLC, landowners can now benefit from relationships already built with the major drillers and exploration companies in order to market gas and oil rights and obtain or enhance lease offers. Most importantly, WPGLC represents landowners exclusively and has made a commitment not to represent the interests of drilling companies in any leasing matter.
WPGLC is not a law firm and does not intend to act as your legal counsel. We are a consulting group created by gas and oil lawyers. There is no doubt that we bring our knowledge and years of experience in the area of gas and oil law to the table. We recommend that once we get you an acceptable lease offer, you take that offer to your own attorney for review.
We have experience negotiating with companies including, but not limited to:
-
Chesapeake Energy/DPS Penn

Dominion Exploration and Production, Inc.
-
EQT
