We live in Texas, but own minerals in North Dakota, with the difference in laws we need a good oil and gas lawyer to help us navigate through a proposal to participate in a well. Location of well Burke County sections 24,25 & 36 T160N, R91W
Looks like Hunt is planning to drill the Dimond 160-91-36-24H horizontal wells. I see at least three permits already. Looks like they may already be drilled but not completed.
You would definitely need a good oil and gas attorney, a good accountant, deep pockets and liability insurance if you plan to participate. Operators often offer a working interest option, but not for the novice mineral owner without extensive professional help. You will be liable for drilling and completion costs, operating costs and plugging costs, just to name a few. There can be tax advantages, but also liability if there is a disaster. Your heirs may also have those responsibilities. Be very cautious…
You can search with the ND Bar association for specialists in oil and gas. You may have to call quite a few because they may have a conflict of interest if the other parties are represented by their firm.
