MRP 235: Listener Questions - February 2024

The Mineral Rights Podcast: Mineral Rights | Royalties | Oil and Gas | Matt Sands

In this episode we answer listener questions submitted by Dave, Bill, Monica, Mary, Katie, Kelly, and David. We cover a lot of ground including: surface use agreements, helium, leasing, dormant mineral rights, how to read a legal description, orphan wells, prior period adjustments vs. recoupment, how to calculate your net acreage and decimal interest in a well, and more!

Many of the questions in this episode are addressed in my Mineral Management Basics online course, from how to read a legal description, how to perform a title search, and how to identify nearby oil and gas activity, and how to find missing royalties.
