Enhanced Oil Recovery is the process of injecting fluids like CO2 into the reservoir to increase production.

Sometimes oil and gas wells or leases are sold to another company and if you have a royalty interest in the wells, you end up getting royalty checks from the new operator once the sale goes through. This is a time in royalty ownership where you need to be on top of your game to make sure the transition goes smoothly so you get paid what you deserve.

MRP 96: Texas Relinquishment Act Lands Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

Did you know that for some lands in Texas that were sold between 1895, the state owns the minerals under those lands but the surface owner has the right to lease these lands and in return, they receive ½ of the bonus, royalty and other consideration paid by the lessee in lieu of surface damages?

In this episode, we dust off our Texas History books and talk about how this came to be and a little known resource that all Texas mineral owners can use to find out what others have leased their minerals for in your area.

MRP 95: Mineral Rights News March 2021 Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

In this month's Mineral Rights Podcast news episode for March 2021 we cover a test of the Accommodation Doctrine in Texas as mineral owner sues a solar company, cash prices soar amid natural gas shortage, and are we about to enter a multi-year commodity super cycle for oil and natural gas?

Mineral Owner vs. Solar Company: New Texas Case Addresses Key Issue | Cash Prices Soar Amid Natural Gas Shortage, Energy Crisis | The 'roaring 20s' will spark a multi-year commodity supercycle as economic growth rebounds

MRP 94: Leasing Land for a Solar Farm Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

In part two of our renewable energy series, we talk about leasing your surface rights for solar power development (aka a solar farm). From the terms to think about, going lease rates for solar developments, what would be installed on your property, and the actual carbon footprint of solar vs. natural gas power plants, we break it all down for you.

Even if you don't own large amounts of surface rights to lease for a solar development, this episode has something for you. As mineral owners, it is important to be aware of how surface uses like a solar farm could impair the ability to use the surface to drill an oil and gas well. When certain provisions need to be made in order to balance the often competing priorities of surface vs. mineral rights, the Accommodation Doctrine comes into play. In fact, we discuss a recent court case in Texas that highlights this potential conflict.

MRP 93: The Pros and Cons of Wind Energy and Leasing Land for a Wind Farm Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, we discuss some of the considerations if you are approached to lease your land for a wind farm and some of the pros and cons associated with wind energy. Little did we know how soon after recording this episode we'd be faced with an energy crisis and rolling blackouts in Texas due to record low temps and widespread snow and ice storms freezing all types of energy production in the state. From preventable problems with natural gas power plants to half of the Texas' renewable power offline due to frozen wind turbines and snow covered solar panels, this highlights the need to be measured in our approach to a low carbon energy future.

Our thoughts go out to those in Texas currently faced with the current energy crisis. Once we all thaw out, this episode has a lot to think about as it relates to wind energy and how we make a smart transition to a low carbon future. Enjoy and we'd love your thoughts - email feedback@mineralrightspodcast.com

MRP 92: How to Make Sure You Are Getting Paid What You Deserve with Royalty Advocate Feb 10, 2021

In this episode, we interview the founders of an amazing platform that is pioneering the way we manage our minerals and royalties. Justin and I had the opportunity to talk with Eliott Gilson and Jarrett Parker, co-founders of Royalty Advocate.

These guys are super smart and in fact they are real life rocket scientists that are applying technology to modernize the way we answer the two main questions around mineral ownership:

Am I getting paid on all the assets I should be getting paid on? AND
Are those payments accurate?

And they make it so user friendly that anyone can use their system and they offer this power at a price that is affordable for ALL royalty owners.
