Hello,
I am brand new in this oil and gas area, and trying to learn more about this.
I have an offer to lease 6.6667 net mineral acres for Section 11-3S-3W, Carter County with primary term 3 years, 3/16 royalty, and $750.00/acre lease bonus.
I have read this oil and gas forum. It seems the 3/16 royalty is pretty reasonable, but I can't understand the lease bonus consideration portion. What is the reasonable lease bonus consideration for Carter County? Does it make any difference if the offer is for Carter county or Stephens county?
Thank you.
