I have vacant property with 2 gas wells on it no leases or easement

Contact a lawyer Bruce, this is a case you want to make sure you are 100% in the right as this can come back to haunt you later if done improperly.

Vacant land with gas wells and no active leases or easements needs a title and mineral rights review before you do anything else. The first question is whether you own the mineral rights or if they were severed from the surface rights at some point in the chain of title. In parts of eastern Hernando County, near Ridge Manor and the rural corridor, we occasionally see properties with legacy mineral or resource features. Florida is not a major oil and gas state, but wells on a property affect disclosure obligations, environmental clearance, and buyer financing. Lenders sometimes require Phase I environmental assessments, and the Florida DEP maintains well records that a buyer will likely pull. Your best path forward: hire a title company to run a mineral rights search, confirm the well status with the state, and get a land-specialized agent involved. Pricing vacant land with wells is not a standard CMA exercise. It requires someone who understands how resource features affect both marketability and value. Get the title and well status documentation in hand before listing. That clarity removes the biggest objection buyers will have. Kevin Neely & Kaitlynd Robbins | K2 Sells

Since there are no active leases or easements, those wells may be "orphaned" or "unplugged," which is a massive environmental and financial liability. You should immediately contact your state's Department of Natural Resources to check the status of these wells. If they were drilled without your permission, you may be entitled to "Trespass Damages," but if they are old and leaking, you could be responsible for the "Plugging and Abandonment" costs, which can exceed $50,000 per well. Do not attempt to sell or build until you have a "Clean Title" and a professional environmental phase-one report.

You definitely need a lawyer who specializes in mineral rights and oil/gas issues to sort this out, because if those wells are active and you own the rights, you might be owed money. Don't sell until you get this cleared up, because it could be worth a lot more than you think.

Hi Bruce I would contact an attorney in your local area to find out what your rights are.
