Was just reading the current Sullivan County Democrat, which had an article on the gas drilling leases signed in Sullivan County.
Included in the article, are those leases currently on file in the county clerks office.
Following is the most currently available list, arranged from the oldest to most recent. Please note that the green dots on the accompanying map outnumber the information below simply because several of the listed landowners have leased multiple pieces of land.
