My grandma left my Mom 5.66 mineral acres in the 60s. I have letters that show she got $80 for a 5-year lease ($15 a year) in 1973. I figured out from the discussion and comments here that there are two currently producing wells on this section. One drilled in the North says 160 acres lease and the newer one (2015) says 640 acre lease. Does this mean I may have royalties due from the newer well? It is in the Southeast and the 1973 papers say E2 SW4 26 Township 15 North Range 6 West.
Help or comments appreciated.
