I recently asked this question but I was using the wrong term.. The agreement sent to me for review is called a Backbuld. I've not heard the term but it being presented as a servitude agreement to drill under my property to access another section to increase their production.
Does anyone have any objective or subjective pros or cons. On the front end this seems like a not so good a deal for me since there is no mineral interest, royalty, or other incentive except to help the O&G co make alot more.
Any info would be appreciated..cs

There were some sort of legal hangups about who owned the rights, but they appear to have been cleared up, but the original offer is gone. We'll see if he gets a new offer.
