Decimal Interest

A general question-----What is considered a good decimal interest and what would be a very low decimal interest. It seems like a good lease with great royalty but by time all the additions and division -- the decimal interest is much lower than the royalty interest. Just curious about it all and what to look forward to. The division orders have been signed and returned and now the wait for the checks to come in be it small or large!! haha

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…
