Colleen, your mineral interest is pooled in a drilling unit and you receive royalty on any well drilled in that unit. Your lease is therefore Held By Production (HBP). That means your lease remains in force as long as there is continuing production not interrupted for more than a set period, usually 90 to 120 days depending on language regarding continuing operations. There is no need for a company to extend your lease, they hold it by production.

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
