csimmons,

It sounds like your main concern was the fact that a rig would be located close to your home. If that is not the case anymore and there is nothing to 'look at' then why not grant the subsurface 'backbuild'? I may not have a good understanding of the 'backbuild' but it sounds to me like it would be like granting a pipeline right of way. You get paid and you never see anything. Am I wrong in my assumption?

A family friend got an offer of something like $15,000 every 5 years for a wellbore easement back during the days of the wild frenzy. 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.
