GMS Scholars...can someone please explain the effect not having full mineral interest has on a lease bonus payment? Here's a hypothetical example-
Person signs lease based on following:
Leased Minerals - Oil and Gas
Acres - 10
Gas Royalty - 20%
Oil Royalty - 20%
Bonus Per Acre - $5,000
Expected Bonus - $5,000 X 10 = $50,000
Title examination determines person has the following mineral interest:
Oil - 8/10 = 80%
Gas - 9/10 = 90%
What should the bonus payment be considering the lease is for BOTH oil and gas? I have not received my bonus yet but I've been given the impression it will be 80% X $50,000 = $40,000.
