You have 3 options. They just don’t tell you that. You can go non-consent as well. You will get an 18% royalty per month and the remaining goes to pay your share of the well plus a 150% penalty. Most states the penalty is 300% so it is not a bad penalty. I have minerals in the 157 area and I went non-consent on a lot of them. I got insurance in Williston as well. Not hard to do. It will take years to pay off but I dont care. I want more on the backside when I am older. Also if they are offering $150 an acre that is a joke. Another thing if you lease you make no more decisions. Its tied up for life. The other two options each new well they have to come to you with the same 3 options. Also the 6 million is a projected cost. It could easily be a 10 million dollar well if they have issues. So when you do your figures go high. Some companies will let you jump on their insurance policy as well. Small acreage in the Bakken…i participate. Good luck with your decision.
