We purchased 2 different 10 acres parcels in Reeves County over 10 years ago when land prices were very cheap. Over the years we have had a few contacts regarding offers to allow a right of way for a pipeline. We never pursued either offer as we didn't know what we would eventually do with the land. I have seen a lot of posts about Mineral Rights, but not really sure how that works. On our paperwork nothing is mentioned about Mineral Rights, so don't know if we even have any or how to find out if we own them or if someone else does? Also we are considering selling at least one of the parcels and have no clue on what the going rate for 10 acres tracts are. If anyone can give some insight on where to start on learning about possible mineral rights, and or values right now that would be great. Here are the legal descriptions:
Blk: 13 Tract: 190 AB 3619 BLK 13 SEC 190 H&GNSW/4 OF NE/4 OF SW/4
As a general rule, title companies do not run title to mineral rights. If there was no reservation in the conveyance into you, then you are possessed with whatever the grantor of the deed granted unto you.
If you are looking to sell 10 acres of land, list the land and reserve the mineral rights. If you have none, then you have honored your general warranty of title. If you have mineral rights of some percentage, then you have reserved them unto yourself.
Consider doing as Mr. Cotten instructs. Below are links to maps. I have put blue circles on what I believe to be your abstracts. The solid green dots are producing wells. The blue circles are permitted wells. A green dot with line extending to a pentagon is a horizontal well. A dot with a diagonal line or a semi-shaded green dot indicate wells which are not producing.
