I am doing research for a relative who recently learned she inherited mineral rights.
Deed shows a fractional 2/1120 mineral rights ownership as follows:
All of Section 2 and the West Half (W/2) and Southeast Quarter (SE/4) of Section 3, Block A-25, Public School Land containing 1120 acres of land, more or less.
According to Unit Agreement, Jenkins Unit, Dated June 1, 1993, it looks like a portion of the above mentioned land was pulled into the Jenkins Unit.
(Tract #6, - Shelton, et al - described as follows: SW/4, NW/4 and W/2 SW/4 of Section 3, Block A-25, PSL Survey, Gaines County, Texas.
If my relative has rights to W/2 of Section 3, which does appear to have an active (in green on abstract 421 (well #31937), shouldn’t she have been contacted re: lease or be sharing in the royalties of the Jenkins Unit?
Any help would be appreciated. I am a total newbie, trying to figure all of this out.
Thanks

Yes if there is a producing well, and the well is on her minerals.
Here is a newbie article that might help get her started:

Thanks. That is a useful article. I am trying to figure out who is currently operating the well. Previous unit agreement was with Texaco. Is there a way to look up who is operating a particular well? There is only one well that looks like it is active on the land where my mother-in-law has rights, but if that well was brought into a unit (Jenkins), would she share in royalties earned by ALL of the wells in the unit, or just the one on land in her mineral rights deed?

There is a video on the Home page of this site that shows you how to navigate the RRC website, and the operator is listed there.
If a unit has been formed, the wells inside the unit share their income.
