How would I calculate the decimal interest in this scenario? 160.25 acres in area to be developed I don’t own any of the surface I have a .2871 undivided mineral interest I am sure it is a very small amount, but I don’t know how to figure it. Thanks! ---

.2871 X 160.25 = 46.007775 mineral acres ---

Dear Susan, Your net mineral acres are a function of tract size x your mineral interest. Saying that you have 162 acres in area to be developed does not tell how many acres are in pool. Net mineral acres/unit size x royalty rate = share of production (generally) 23% is not a small number. If you are thinking small, could it be approximately 1/4 of 1%? ---

I’m not sure - it is written like this: I have a .2871 undivided mineral interest I’m not sure I know what this means - I don’t think it is the royalty. BTW - I just tried to purchase the audit clause from your website and couldn’t get the link to open when I hit the Buy Now button. ---

Dear Ms. Nolen, When you click on “Buy Now” a window comes up saying open in a new window. That takes you directly to PayPal. Yours, Wes Luke ---

Let’s not forget the horrific attack on our country almost exactly 10 years ago as I type this. The 3,000 men, women and children who died that day did nothing but show up where they were supposed to be. GOD BLESS AMERICA!! ---
