Protecting your Surface Rights
In states that are known for their wealth of minerals and production of oil and gas, the separation of land ownership and mineral rights is common. Land owners that choose to sell their mineral rights often receive large financial reward due to the competitive market and value of minerals, oil, and gas. Once mineral rights are sold, the buyer has access to the minerals underneath the surface of the land. Generally, extraction of natural resources does not interfere with the daily life of the surface land owner. However, in cases where surface land owners are concerned about damage to the surface due to drilling, there are contract clauses available. These clauses may limit or prohibit surface penetration within a certain area or require that the land is returned to its original caliber once drilling is concluded.
Protecting Surface Rights after Selling Mineral Rights
There are a number of provisions that a surface owner can require when their mineral rights are up for sale. The following are the most common types of clauses that are included in mineral right agreements:
- No surface operation
- Surface damage repayment
- Drilling location approval
- Restoring the land after drilling
- Consideration of water sourcing
As a land owner, protecting your property is important. Fortunately, there are several legal measuresthat you can take in order to profit from selling or leasing mineral rights while maintaining the quality of your land.

The Mineral Auction provided me with an invaluable exit strategy when selling a mineral interest that one of my clients had. I’d recommend them to anyone who has the need to create some liquidity.
Blake is excellent. We have used him in numerous family issues and find him always direct and very helpful. He is incredibly informed and our go-to guy.
Blake and I have worked on several deals together and they have always gone off without a hitch. Both parties leave the table satisfied. Highly recommended!
Blake hit it out of the park! He did everything he said he would do, and then some. He far exceeded our expectations within a day! If you are concerned about paying commission or being restricted to a broker – don’t be. He will max out the value of your minerals. I tried to negotiate with several buyers on my own and didn’t come within the same universe.
Blake Bergstrom helped my family negotiate the sale of our mineral rights for our small ranch outside of San Antonio. I found Blake to be very knowledgable about whole process and took the time to answer all our questions. We were very satisified with the transaction and have already recommended Blake and The Mineral Auction to some our friends. Thanks again.
I have mineral rights to natural gas and Blake was excellent in his advice regarding my situation. Thanks a lot for your help!
