In Kansas, who typically receives income from a salt water disposal well - landowner or mineral rights owers?

[JR.Ewingish]

In Kansas, the landowner typically receives income from a saltwater disposal well. This is because the landowner owns the surface estate, which includes the land and everything on it, including the saltwater. The mineral rights owner owns the minerals beneath the surface, but they do not own the saltwater.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the mineral rights owner has a lease with the landowner that specifically gives them the right to receive income from saltwater disposal, then the mineral rights owner would receive the income. Additionally, if the mineral rights owner has a lease with the operator of the saltwater disposal well, then the mineral rights owner would receive the income.

If you are unsure of who owns the saltwater disposal well and who is entitled to receive the income, you should consult with an attorney who is experienced in mineral rights law.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The terms of the lease agreement may specify who is entitled to receive income from the saltwater disposal well.
• The mineral rights owner may have conveyed their rights to the landowner or to another party.
• The landowner may have conveyed their rights to the mineral rights owner or to another party.

It is important to carefully review the lease agreement and other relevant documents to determine who is entitled to receive income from the saltwater disposal well.
