Hello, I have received letters from two different companies interested in leasing my mineral rights (a very small piece of land under an acre). What is a typical leasing bonus? Is it worth getting an oil and gas attorney involved in signing a lease?

Yes, is the short answer. The lease could run for many years if a well is productive, and you are in essence selling the oil. Or look for a form that is not the typical producers 88. Buddy Cotten used to have one for sale but I haven’t looked since 2016. The forum seems very quiet since the revamp, and I am not expert enough to help. Just a fellow mineral rights holder.

It is definitely not worth hiring an attorney to negotiate a lease that is under an acre. You should get around $3-5k an acre or so.

So sorry! I am just seeing your replies. The legal description is Lot 13, Block 16 of the North Gate Addition Section 4 of the City of Midland as recorded at Play Cabinet C, Page 58, Plat Records.
