MRP 353: From Permit to Paycheck: How to Track a Well on Your Minerals

You spot a new drilling permit near your minerals, and months later you hear a rig came and went. You check the state website and see the well has been completed. Still no check. Is the well producing? Are you even included in it? Or is everyone just behind on paperwork? The confusing part is that two separate clocks are running at once. One tracks what's happening in the field. The other tracks what's happening in the operator's office to figure out who gets paid and how much. In this episode, we show you how to follow both, so you know what each milestone means and exactly what to ask the operator when you think a check is due. As always, links to the resources mentioned in this episode can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
