A few questions

1  - Is there a reasonable average for new Haynesville well production?  I realize that is a very difficult question and depends on a lot of factors.

2 - When a cross unit well is drilled, how is the production allocated?  For instance if it cross 3 sections, do you divide your mineral acres by (640*3)?  Or is it not necessarily equally prorated?

3 - Inherited property/minerals - if you are unleased in a section and there are existing wells you have discovered, I believe you can give notice to the operator to provide cost information to determine if the wells ever reached pay-out.  Best to get attorney to handle?  What happens if they have not been paying?  Any penalties?

In most situations, I would take a 22.5% royalty with a no cost clause over a 25% royalty without.  The question here is that of the language in the clause.  Many mineral owners accepted leases with "no cost" language supplied by the lessee that turned out to not stand up in court. Their operator deducted post production costs from their royalty revenue. The wording of a no cost clause must be such that it is based on established case law.  I would want an experienced O&G attorney to draft or review the language such that the lessee knew it was enforceable in court

Ok thank you all sincerely.

negotiating now.

This is inherited property/rights for my wife.  She has some no cost in another section that was very good for her parents.

Trying to get best deal possible.

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…
