Tax Consequences & Depreciation

I was wondering about the tax consequences and depreciation if your section is unitized and a drill is completed and production begins.

a. Non Consent
b. Investing partner in the well

Can you depreciate the equipment if you go non consent? If you are paying for your share of the well it would seem so.

Also, I have asked this before but got no response. Has anyone gone nonconsent? If so, how has the experience gone?

Thanks,

You would need to verify this with your CPA, but I believe (from a non consent position) the cost of the well, or any associated fees would be determined to be passive income, and not considered an asset. Being as such, you would not be able to depreciate the value, nor claim a tax relief of the equipment used to drill the well. As a consenting partner, you would be able to claim the same reliefs as you would with any other type of investment. Again, you would need to verify this with your CPA, as free advice on a public forum would not be a defense in the event you failed to follow proper procedures when filing your tax records.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
