America’s policies regarding mineral rights favor the property owners by giving them the right to do what they will with the resources on their land. This has been great for Texas land owners, as our state has had a rich history of mineral production since 1869. Approximately two thirds of Texas actively produces oil, and the state actually produced about 35% of the country’s overall oil output in 2013.
When a new reserve of minerals is discovered on land in Texas, the current owner of that land automatically comes into possession of the full rights to all the minerals that may be found there. Only in instances where previous property owners retained surface or mineral rights will a current owner not be given possession of these rights. Records of mineral right ownership are kept in local county clerk’s offices and available to all upon request.
There have also been many cases where landowners were not aware that minerals existed on their property until oil and gas companies brought it to their attention with inquiries and monetary offers.

Land ownership in Texas is divided between the mineral estate and the surface estate, according to the Railroad Commission of Texas. Considering the widespread development of oil and gas properties in Texas over time, the two estate properties are usually owned by different people. The division happens when the surface estate is sold and the mineral rights are retained by the owners. There are cases in which the owner sells mineral rights but keeps the surface, but it is considered a rare occasion.
Mineral estate is dominant under the Texas law, which generally means that the owner may freely use the surface to access the mineral property, depending on the lease or the deed involved. However, many cities have ordinances that restrict oil and gas activities on the properties within the city’s jurisdiction.

Although the past months have been rough for the oil and gas industry due to plummeting prices of oil, economists say the country’s oil drilling boom is slowly beginning to come back to life, Bloomberg Business reported on May 9.
The CEO of energy data provider Drillinginfo said the country’s rig count may increase to up to 1,300 if the prices of oil rise above $70 per barrel. The Permian Basin in Texas is projected to be the first area to recover from the bust. This is due to the multi-stacked production zones that allow players to drill oil at varying depths through a single well.
Evidence here and there suggests that the country’s drilling boom is not yet over, and selling your mineral rights upfront would enable you to get the most out of it without having to worry about fluctuating oil prices or the threat of a bust.

Despite a significant fall in crude oil prices in the second half of 2014, the United States was still the world’s undisputed biggest producer of oil and natural gas hydrocarbon last year, the Climate Spectator revealed on April 9.
The report said the boost in production was due to the country’s aggressive exploration and drilling of shale gas and tight oil formation, specifically in the states of North Dakota and Texas. The country was able to boost its petroleum production by 3 quadrillion British thermal unit (Btu), or 1.6 million barrels per day, and its natural gas production by 5 quadrillion Btu, or 13.9 billion cubic feet per day.
On the other hand, petroleum and natural gas production in two other competing countries, Russia and Saudi Arabia, has remained unchanged for several years.
The country’s impressive oil and natural gas production further testifies that you can get the most out of your mineral rights by selling it today.
