Selling Surface Rights Only

I was approached by a realtor to sell my interest in Section 13-6N-10E. The last time someone wanted to buy surface only, shortly after I turned them down I was approached to sell water. Does anyone know if anything is about to happen in this section? Thanks, Susan

M Barnes…talk to all of us. We need your professional input. I don’t like the looks of this as a mineral owner on Section 21, Township 7 North, Range 10 East…“sell water!” WHAT! For me: It’s what is below that “tip of the iceberg”—so to speak, about what is ‘not’ visible or unknown…thank you …Leta C. …MONTANA

My understanding is that an OK surface owner may sell their surface water. However, since I don’t live in OK, it would be wise for anyone considering doing so to speak with an attorney regarding the wording of such a lease. Use of surface owners water vary from state to state.

Ms. Baker,

Good afternoon ma’am. There is nothing pending activity-wise in the section. There was an attempt nearly two (2) years ago in 2017 by Trinity to do a well here but was ultimately dismissed. Since then it has been all quiet. Below is a screen shot from Pangaeadata.com showing the dismissal and no further activity. I hope this helps.

Regards,

Zach

Water rights can be extremely valuable.
