<p>Take the current deed to the property, scan it for severed minerals. That deed has the previous deed book and page number. So you pull that deed and look it over.</p>

<p>With any luck the land has been in the same family for years and there will be 4 or 5 deeds as far back as records have been kept. So if the minerals, oil coal or gas have been severed it will show up. If not you more than likely own all minerals.</p>
<p>If you are wealthy, pay someone else too much to do the same thing for you. If you are having a hard time paying your Real Estate Taxes, save your money and do it yourself. It may be a few more years before domestic oil and gas has to obey the laws of the US and stop stealing from landowners.</p>

In PA mineral rights ARE NOT the same as oil and gas rights. The Duhig rule is case law in PA separating the two; however Ohio and WV consider oil and gas to go along with minerals.

Not so. In PA, I believe oil and gas are not considered minerals and are specifically named when they are reserved away from the surface owner. In SE Ohio, much of the coal rights were sold away years and years ago and were done so on deeds that named specific coal veins. Many of those coal deeds also specifically reserved the right of the surface owner to explore for oil and gas. The ONLY way to know what applies to a particular piece of property is to have an abstract of title done which…

Many of those coal deeds also specifically reserved the right of the surface owner to explore for oil and gas. The ONLY way to know what applies to a particular piece of property is to have an abstract of title done which gives you a history of all legal actions involving that piece of property. If you have the time and patience, you can do this yourself. If not, hire someone competent to do this for you. It is a deductible expense against oil and gas lease income so it really won't cost you anything in the long run if you are going to lease the property.

The process of determining if your mineral or gas and oil rights have been severed away from the surface ownership is not all that complicated or mysterious. It does require one to spend some hours in the county recorder's office looking through files and getting copies made of all the deeds for your property. You start with the current deed and then look up each prior deed, using the seller's (grantor) name. The grantor on one deed will be the grantee on the prior deed. Follow the chain of…
The process of determining if your mineral or gas and oil rights have been severed away from the surface ownership is not all that complicated or mysterious. It does require one to spend some hours in the county recorder's office looking through files and getting copies made of all the deeds for your property. You start with the current deed and then look up each prior deed, using the seller's (grantor) name. The grantor on one deed will be the grantee on the prior deed. Follow the chain of title (deeds) back to before any rights were severed away (if any) from the property. If any mineral rights were severed from the surface ownership, one of the deeds will show such. For any grantor, there may be multiple deeds if coal or other minerals were sold off. If you are unwilling or unable to spend a day in the recorder's office, hire a good oil and gas attorney to do the title work for you. Let them know you are specifically interested in minerals/oil and gas. They will likely send a paralegal to the recorder's office to do this research for you. This will cost you anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on how complicated the chain of title is and whether you need any curative work done. A title company can also do this but may miss some of the complexities of minerals/oil and gas ownership.

Although natural gas is not technically considered a mineral in the geological sense, it IS included with mineral rights. Owning the mineral rights gives the owner rights to any gas and oil beneath the surface as well.
