The Intelligencer has an interesting article highlighting in summary form some of the financial data related to lease transactions over the past year in West Virginia.  For example:  "Lease revenue payments have ranged from as low as $5 per acre to about $4,000 per acre over the past year with production royalty payments ranging from 12.5 percent to 18.75 percent. Many residents leased their gas rights in 2010, which led the Sunday News-Register to begin publishing weekly oil and gas lease transactions each Monday."
