According to Louisiana Code, Title 31, Section 170

"A co-owner of a mineral servitude may create a mineral royalty out of his undivided interest in the servitude and prescription of nonuse commences from the date of its creation. The consent of the co-owner of the party creating the royalty is not necessary to entitle the royalty owner to receive his proportionate part of production."


While I am not an attorney, nor someone "in the know", I hope this helps in your quest for answers.

Mr. McConnell,
Excuse my ignorance but what does CPL stand for?

Thanks to all for your replies. I have researched everything presented.

Do you think OC's are willing to only lease half of our 2.5 acres if the mineral co-owner doesn't agree to our terms?

Thanks

Sure they will. They don't have to lease the other half. It's America, they can do what they want. If the other guy wants to much money for his lease, they can say screw him.
