Lease or Sell Mineral Rights

Currently, we have ~325 net acres (Campbell County) that are being leased to Mallard Creek Oil (TX).

The 5 yr paid up lease expires in September 2018.

I have called MCO once a year to see if any drilling has been done. Nada. No permits have been pulled either.

We were paid close to $200k for the paid up lease with an 18.75% royalty.

Ultimately, what factors should be considered when our lease expires…she we seek another lease or search for a buyer?

Thanks for any feedback.

Andre,

It all depends on what area of the county your minerals are located in as well as your reason for considering selling. What is the Section/Township/Range of these minerals?

correction/update:

Please re-read my original post. I have included property information plus two (2) questions.

If you can answer those questions, that would be very helpful moving forward.

About 6 miles to the south of you, are some new HZ well permits.

thanks Steve
