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
