MRP 179: What Are Blanchard Royalties? Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

Each state is different in the way that certain aspects of royalty payments are handled. One of the more unique situations exists in Oklahoma with the concept of Blanchard Royalty Interests.

Blanchard Interests refer to the way that royalty owners were to be paid by the various Working Interest owners in a well when each working interest owner entered into a separate gas sale contract for their proportionate share of gas produced and sold.

The term Blanchard interest stems from the landmark Oklahoma Supreme Court case from 1963 between Shell Oil Company and the Oklahoma Corporation commission, often referred to as the "Blanchard Decision."

Be sure to listen to this one if you have interests in Oklahoma or if you want to understand some tips on how to make sure you are getting paid correctly in any state.

MRP 178: We React to Biden Claim that Oil Industry is Not Innovative Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

On October 31st, Joe Biden made remarks about oil company record profits. He acknowledged that companies should earn a fair return for innovation and at the same time claimed that current oil company profits are a result of profiteering instead of innovating. In this episode, we react to this claim and provide examples of how oil industry profits are a direct result of innovation and this has resulted in lower energy prices here in the U.S.

Show notes

In this episode we go behind the scenes within an oil and gas company and discuss how they decide where to drill the next well. In oil and gas lingo, for mature plays this process is called Development Planning.

There is a lot that goes into determining where the operator will decide to drill next and we discuss some of these considerations and some helpful resources where you can possibly find out when an operator might drill a well that has been permitted on your land.

MRP 175: $1.5 Billion Lithium Deposit Discovered in Maine Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

If we are serious about the energy transition, then all forms of energy will be required including mining the raw materials necessary to manufacture the batteries necessary to store the energy from unreliable wind and solar plants. The U.S. has extensive lithium reserves as evidenced by the recent discovery of a world-class deposit in Maine but yet we produce less than 2% of the world's supply. In this episode we talk about how the U.S. could play a major role in increasing our energy security by mining critical minerals like lithium domestically.

MRP 172: Unintended Consequences of the ESG Movement Sep 23, 2022

Show notes

The principles of the Environmental, Social, and Governance movement would seem to be moving the world in the right direction. Who wouldn't want a cleaner environment, fair treatment of workers, and elimination of corporate bribery and corruption. Under the guise of advancing "responsible corporate citizenship", the ESG movement has instead turned into a means for forcing an underinvestment in fossil fuel energy and we are now paying the price for this.

In this episode, Justin and I talk about the origin and history of the ESG movement and some of the unintended consequences of this seemingly "good" initiative. As always, links to the resources found in this episode can be found at mineralrightspodcast.com.
