In 2011, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated that the country produced 23 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, which accounts for 95% of the nation’s overall natural gas consumption. In 2040, the EIA hopes that the U.S. produces 33.1 million cu. ft. of natural gas, a 44% increase in the country’s overall natural gas production.
The projected increase in the country’s natural gas production is primarily caused by booming shale gas production. Shale is a type of sedimentary rock rich in natural gas and petroleum. Furthermore, this rock formation is very common in many parts of the country, including Texas.
At The Mineral Auction, we assist Texas residents in making the most out of this thriving natural gas industry by helping them sell their mineral rights to prospective buyers for the best possible value.

A U.S. Court of Appeals has upheld a previous court decision that requires Chesapeake Energy to pay millions of dollars to three leaseholders, an online report stated on May 1.
According to the report, a three-judge panel of U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans decided to reject Chesapeake Energy’s appeal against having to pay $121 million to Texas-based Preston Exploration and two affiliates. In 2008, Chesapeake agreed to acquire 500 oil and gas leases from the three leaseholders, but later withdrew the arrangement when gas prices dropped drastically just before the agreement was about to conclude.
Chesapeake Energy initially won the case, but an appeal won by Preston led to a judgment that the energy company broke the deal with the leaseholders.

By the end of 2014, Texas could outrank all OPEC member countries, other than Saudi Arabia, in terms of oil production, the Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday, April 23.
Greg Leveille from ConocoPhillips said that by the end of this year, Texas could produce 3.4 million barrels of oil each day, out performing every OPEC member-country except Saudi Arabia. The state’s oil output is also expected to top that of several leading oil-producing non-OPEC countries, except Russia, the United States, China, and Canada, which could make Texas the sixth largest oil producer globally.

Congressman Ted Poe recently stated that the natural gas boom is benefiting the local economy in Houston, and says Texas can potentially be the “Saudi Arabia of natural gas,” according to an online report released Monday, April 7.
In a speech delivered during the Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce and Economic forum, Poe said Texas has more than liquefied natural gas (LNG) than it can use, and added that the state’s goal should be “to export the rest.” Poe also dubbed the Port of Houston, which is currently undergoing a $150 million-worth of dredging to hike docking capacity, as a potential LNG terminal site.
Texans are indeed in a very beneficial position to get the most out of the U.S. LNG boom.

An online report in the Dallas Business Journal revealed that Fort Worth-based Trinity East Energy has filed a lawsuit against the city of Dallas Thursday, February 16, over accusations that the city committed breach of contract, inverse condemnation, an unconstitutional taking, and fraud.
According to the lawsuit, the city of Dallas denied Trinity East its right to drill and to create a compressor station on the northwest border of the city despite the fact that the company paid the city $19 million for property leases in 2008. The company had bought the minerals from the city with the plan to drill for them.
The company demands recoup from the damages it has incurred. A total of $30 million has been invested by Trinity East to drill natural gas in the area, but its claim might become higher due to lost profits caused by the inability to sell natural gas.

A mineral estate, commonly referred to as mineral right, is a property right to mine, use, develop, sell, and profit from any or all of the minerals extracted from underneath certain pieces of land. These minerals include gas, oil, metals, ores, and other organic or inorganic materials that are part of the soil and can be found beneath the ground. However, materials such as gravel, limestone, sand, and subsurface water are not considered underground and, thus, are not part of the mineral estate.
The general rule that the mineral estate is dominant over the surface estate also applies to Texas. This means the mineral rights owner can:
- Use as much of the surface of land as reasonably necessary for mineral exploration and development
- Receive royalties
- Further convey rights
- Receive payments for drilling delays without terminating the lease
- Receive bonus considerations
Understanding the laws surrounding mineral rights can be extremely difficult without the aid of a mineral rights broker at The Mineral Auction. Call us at (512) 698-2802 to find out more about mineral rights and their potential revenue.
Individuals planning to sell their mineral rights want to ensure that they will be getting the highest possible price for their minerals. However, determining the worth of the minerals underneath a property might be very challenging as mineral rights are valued based on a variety of factors.
Typically, a buyer’s offer price is high if previous records in the area indicate success in drilling activities. Mineral prices and trends in the market also affect the value of the mineral right. Additionally, other costs such as transportation and taxes relevant in the area may also have an impact.
Mineral right owners face the challenge of optimizing their revenue by ensuring an appropriate approach in determining the value of their mineral property. Equipped with extensive market knowledge, connections, and resources, our Texas-based team at The Mineral Auction is ready to bring out the best value of your mineral rights when you call (512) 698-2802 today.
