When it comes to mineral rights, the standard admonition has long been consistent and emphatic: Avoid selling them. After all, simply owning mineral rights costs you nothing. There are no liability risks, and in most cases, taxes are assessed only on properties that are actively producing oil or gas.
Oil and gas lease is an agreement between a mineral owner (lessor) and a company (lessee) in which the owner grants the company the right to explore, drill and produce oil, gas, and other minerals below the surface of the earth.
To ratify a lease means that the landowner and oil & gas producer, as current lessor and lessee of the land, agree (or re-agree) to the terms of the existing lease.In all likelihood, the lessee (usually the current producer) believes that you have legitimate grounds to break the existing lease.
Mineral rights don't come into effect until you begin to dig below the surface of the property. But the bottom line is: if you do not have the mineral rights to a parcel of land, then you do not have the legal ability to explore, extract, or sell the naturally occurring deposits below.
Landowners who are considering purchasing, or have already purchased a property can search their county Register of Deeds registry to determine if an oil and gas lease is recorded.A search of the public records at the county register of deeds office is necessary.
(Oil & Gas) This form is a memorandum of lease that summarizes an oil and gas lease without disclosing confidential information contained in the lease itself. It is filed in the county in which the leased property is located to put third parties on notice that a lease exists.
Not necessarily. Where your royalty is based on volume of production and your lease is for a period of years and as much longer as oil and gas is produced, or similar language is contained in your lease, your lease may not automatically expire at the end of its primary term.
