MRP 277: Listener Questions - February 2025

In this month’s episode, we answer a diverse set of questions submitted by Julie, Tom, Dan, Nicole, Melissa, Erik, and Gary. From how to address post production costs that were improperly deducted by a previous operator, to pooling and what happens if another landowner refuses to lease their minerals, to how to notify your operator about a change in ownership. We answer these questions and more and address some common challenges mineral owners face when managing their interests.

Many of the questions in this episode are covered in my Mineral Management Basics online course, from how to read a legal description, how to perform a title search, and how to identify nearby oil and gas activity, and how to determine if you should be getting paid on a well.

As always, links to the resouces mentioned in this episode can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
