I received this information from NARO, National Association Royalty Owners, the Texas
Chapter. Senator Van Taylor, TX has introduced a SB 177 which is for "Forced Utilization" in dealing with lease negotiations. The bill referred to CO2 floods in wells, above my level of knowledge at this time.\
This bill will strip mineral owners' power over their property.
You must read the entire senate bill 177 and contact the Natural Resources Committee senators to express your dislike and vote NO! The committee met April 11 and you can here the testimony by looking up the meeting on the Texas Senate Website.
Looks like this was written for the larger companies.
I pass this along for information to those it might effect.
