Friends,

How do I check what I own on the land, mineral rights vs surface? Really thought we bought the rights to all but a journeyman is telling me no. How do I confirm this?

Thanks in advance!

The following is a sponsored (paid) promotional notice:

If you own minerals in Texas or New Mexico, consider attending the NARO – Texas convention in San Antonio July 18-20, 2018. They have a great agenda, good speakers, and the cost is reasonable.

Received an offer from MMB Energy, LLC

S/2 Section 34, Abstract #6863
Section 16, Abstract #6862

Bonus Consideration: $750.00 per net mineral acre
Lessor Royalty: 1/5th
Term: 5 years

any advice?

Re: MMB Energy offer

This area is due south of the main industry horizontal activity in Culberson Co - but it is also an area where Apache has drilled 6-7 horizontal wells in the past year. I figure that MMB is leasing for Apache - they have several leases listed as being filed in this area in the records I can view.

Bonus and royalty info is normally not public data, but I will safely say that the 20% royalty is low - I would go for 25% royalty.

To me, the $750 per nma is low - I would push for at least $1500 per nma.

But even more important is to get a good lease with depth severances / pugh clauses and the right "cost free" working to avoid production charges.

Get an experienced O&G attorney to look at any lease - and make sure is aware of the intricacies of the "cost free" issue.

Good luck on this!
