Family estate owns surface and minerals to some 500+ acres in Block 34 Section 163. Estate has been approached to sell only the surface acreage (NOT minerals). Does anyone know what the surface market price is? Also, any recommendations on a real estate agent? Just trying to gather information as to what direction the family estate should go. Thanks in advance for your help. ---

Mel, My advice is to seek the assistance of a good oil/gas attorney to advise you. I personally would not use a real estate agent as they may not have enough knowledge of the oil industry, how the oil companies work, and are only concerned about their company interests and NOT YOU! Why does this company want only the surface rights and not the mineral interests? I would question this. I know of a very good attorney in Dallas or this forum has attorneys involved. If the company leases the surface rights, it would make it difficult for another company to lease the mineral rights and due exploration. ---

It is not an oil company wanting to buy–individual. ---
