Hello!

We have mineral rights in Section 57, Block 20 in Howard County. We are currently receiving royalties from a well on the adjacent block that is 100 feet away from our property. We are interested in leasing our part of 57, Block 20 but one Landman has told me that there might be a lease on this—how do I find out if there is still an active lease on our section?

Thank you!

Best,

Michelle

You need to hire an attorney or independent landman and not take the company landman’s word. If you are receiving royalties, then at least some if not all of your land must be under a lease.

Hello S. Cody,

Are these the minerals connected to the Whitetail well?

If so, we seem to get a small royalty check every other month.

Does this help at all?
