DETERMINING MINERAL OWNERSHIP UNDER YOUR SOLAR PROJECT

If you need help determining mineral or leasehold ownership, existing ROWs, or any other land based problem in the development of your Solar  Farm, please give call on my cell at 512 422 1130 or email me at tomsikes@tasroyalty.com. For a very reasonable fee, we can build ownership reports, negotiate for Surrenders, check tax status, work out Joint Use Agreements, and generally handle all on the ground issues for your project.

DO YOU NEED HELP NEGOTIATING WITH A SOLAR DEVELOPER?

If so, please call or email.  Due to our experience and education, we are able to provide help making sure you get the best deal when you are approached by wind or solar developers to surrender or release your minerals.Your minerals are commonly referred to as the "dominant estate," and surface owners may sell or lease to wind or solar developers for renewable projects.  Which is great, but should not be done in such a way as to impede future oil and gas development.  Most renewable companies will try and get the leasehold and mineral owners to agree to allow them to ignore the mineral's do

HOW TO HANDLE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES IF YOU KEEP YOUR MINERALS IN TEXAS AND KANSAS

Pay property taxes promptly to avoid late fees and double payment confusion, as they will keep mailing you bills until you pay them and the amount owed changes, and you wont know if you’ve paid or not.  So pay them in the month you get them if you can, but for sure before the end of the year.  Be sure and put a SASE in with the payment in order to get a receipt, copies of which you may be required to provide to lenders or if the payment does not get booked.  I make the first batch right before Thanksgiving, and then the rest right before the end of the year.

SHOULD TEXAS PRORATE OIL

TEXAS SHOULD NOT PRORATE OIL, BUT MAYBE U.S. OIL STATES SHOULD?

As you also know, proration has a long history in many States to manage waste and product costs.  It may be time to implement a nationwide system in order to stabilize the industry.

I am not interested in Texas working with other governments to alter supply.  I am very much interested in examining the possibility of forming an Interstate Proration Board, as detailed below.  Such a system could:

1)   gain the US a seat at the table with OPEC and Russia

HOW DO I GET A COPY OF MY CHECK DETAIL OR BACKUP STATEMENT?

We get our ownership information from the County's tax records.  Unless very recently plugged, YOU WOULD NOT BE ON THE TAX ROLL UNLESS YOU OWNED IN A PRODUCING PROPERTY and thus you would not have received a letter from us.  You need to recover any funds in "suspense" prior to selling to us.

WHY DOES MY CONVEYANCE SAY TEN DOLLARS INSTEAD OF THE SALES PRICE?

Royalty and mineral interests are a form of real estate.  There are two ways to transfer real estate from one party to another, by gift or by sale.  In order for a sale to be valid, something of value must be exchanged for the property.  This is something of value is known as consideration, and in our case is whatever it is we are paying you for the property.

The first paragraph of our Conveyance states:  "in consideration of the sum of Ten and more dollars ($10.00) cash in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration."

VOLUME RISK AND PRICE RISK

Owning oil and gas interests has two main types of risk that an owner needs to be aware of. Factors outside of your control may result in large and unexpected gains, or may lead to sudden loss of income. In this blog post, I’ll explain how I view these factors.
