I received an offer for a surface waiver in Brazoria County for a solar project too. In theory the surface waiver won’t prohibit a developer from drilling for oil. They’re not leasing my minerals, they’re just asking for a surface waiver. I have no idea if $200 per net acre is a reasonable amount for a surface waiver or not. Ideally, I’d like to get a royalty based on electricity production, but I’m not sure how to negotiate for that.
