Question conerning ratification of and consent to pooling when holding a royalty interest but not a mineral interest.
Conveyance document retained executory rights but required any lease entered to be “subject to the usual 1/8 royalty on oil…”. This was from about 1950.
Now three daughters make a lease subject to 1/6 royalty (2000).
Horizontal wells are permitted upto this acreage. Operator has engaged third party to obtain ratification and consent to pooling presumably so they can drill horrizontal wells which require or span beyond our 320 acre tract.
Now 1/6 royalty does not seem to me to be market but i have no executory rights. Together with those holding executory rights we have 62.5% of tract, again subject to 1/6 royalty.
Is there anything we can do and should do that would allow greater participation?
