Not necessarily.  I've been told by XTO that the name of one mineral owner in each tract is "randomly" selected and shown on the P-12.  We have several family members splitting minerals acquired by my great-grandfather in the late 1920's and in some instances none of us have shown on the P-12's because they've selected other mineral owners and in one case my deceased brother was shown.  We do not own surface acreage.
