West Virginia Surface Owner’s Rights Organization

The WV Surface Owners’ Rights Organization (WVSORO) is a statewide membership organization formed in 2007 by concerned landowners, public interest lawyer Dave McMahon and WV Citizen Action Group. We serve as resource for our members and others who are looking for information and guidance on how to deal with oil and gas related activities on their land and in their communities. We also advocate for public policy and regulatory changes that will help surface owners have their rights recognized and respected by the oil and gas drillers and that will help them protect their land, air and water.
