Leasing & Landowner Information

There are many considerations in leasing. After a search of your deed or property title determines that you own your oil and gas rights, one of the most important decisions to make is who will produce your minerals. You should consider the experience, reputation and stability of the operating company and their commitment to the community.

Once you have leased your oil & gas rights, you will receive an upfront payment, or signing-bonus, and begin to receive royalty payments from any natural gas produced and sold from the well drilled on your land. You will continue to receive royalty payments throughout the life of the well, which could be up to 20 years.
