MRP 317: Listener Questions January 2026

In this episode, we answer questions submitted by Nathan, Lisa, Bill, Tina, Rose, Linda, and David. From dealing with an unresponsive Oklahoma producer who won't pay royalties and won't return calls or emails—a frustrating situation many owners encounter, to what to do when you receive an unsolicited offer to sell your minerals and how to know if it's a fair deal, to lease negotiations and fair lease language, specifically around pugh/retained acreage clauses. These are practical, real-world issues that could save you thousands of dollars if you know how to handle them correctly. Listen to the full episode to hear our detailed advice for each situation.

As always, links to the resources supporting each question can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
