Houston County Texas Lease Offer

Oil and Gas Leasing Help
1

I’ve been contacted by a landman regarding my mineral interest in Houston County, Texas. The original offer was $250/mineral acre, 1/5th royalty, 3 years with 3 year option to extend for an additional $250/mineral acre. Through my research I have discovered this to be a low ball offer. Before being able to contact the landman to decline the offer he has now called and offered $300/mineral acre. Just wondering what other landowners have been able to negotiate. As I understand it activity has increased in this area and I would like to take advantage of the opportunity if it’s there.

This must be some of that cheap bunch from Beaumont working for Burke Royalty and Navidad.

Get a minimum of $500 for no longer than three years and forget the 2 year option.

Where the minerals are and how much also makes a difference. It’s hard to say when you don’t know where they are.

Where is your land located, we also have mineral rights in Houston County. We don’t have a lot of acres so that is a factor. But I agree with Walter 500.00 is a good place to start. Seems the 1/5 is standard. If you are familiar with the TRRC you can check out the recent activity for drilling.

Great idea, if you don’t mind me asking where exactly is that survey. Our minerals are in one of the F De Valle surveys. From the posts I’ve seen of Mr. Cotton’s he will do well for you. God Bless

I have land also off Hwy. 19 south of Crockett going toward Lovelady. It is approx. 3 miles from the Loop in Crockett and 2 miles down CR 4015. I was contacted yesterday from a guy from Big Creek Energy working for Devon. Does anyone know anything about them and what the going leasing rate is?

Thanks!
