It has come to my attention that some oil and gas companies have been soliciting landowners making an offer to buy your mineral rights. If any person has been contacted or has done business with a company of this nature please contact me or post to this discussion. Again, this is regarding selling your mineral rights to a company, not leasing. Thank you for your time and interest in this matter.

that's a good point Jim...you know it seems to me that when someone's surface rights are separate from the subsurface rights that the two still need to work together and even know of each other. I think the contracts should state that there be communication of assignments and names/addresses given.
cause if there is natural gas rights and the drilling team is on the surface...shouldn't the surface owner have some sayso about where the road goes or if trees are taken down and they have timber rights then who gets paid and is it ok to just make a trail anywhere? I think these are important issues.
I had a company send me a letter saying that they wanted to discuss purchasing my "royalties". They offered $1,000 an acre and thought they were offering me the world. I told them that I wanted my attorney to look over the papers they became very rude and condesending. I received a copy of the agreement they wanted to me to sign (I posted it on this web site) and it is does not appear to be a royalty purchase but a Mineral Rights purchase. I looked in to selling my mineral rights and found that if I sold them, I could NEVER get them back according to the contract. It was a forever and always thing, it even states that my beneficiaries could never get them back from them. I told him NO DEAL and he became extremely irritated. I would however sell my royalties if the number offered were right.
Decline curves are 65% in year one and 90% by the end of year two. That is the model used by one of the majors (not CHK).
Jack, Have you read at this discussion...thought it might help. I haven't read it entirely but from I can see that they do outline how they arrived at their appraisal of what the royalty is worth for sale. and recent. Of course it does matter what state, what area, etc.

As I told my dad when he was going to sell his house the value of your house is what some one will pay for it?
If you're thinking about selling mineral rights, you might want to watch Split Estate - http://splitestate.com/
If I was going to sell the mineral rights, I would sell all of the realestate....If they screw up, you get sewed too as the landowner.....Frankly, I'd take the money and run from the entire property, not just the mineral rights, if the price was to my liking.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
