MRP 328: Listener Questions April 2026
About this episode
This episode addresses listener questions on various challenges faced by mineral and royalty owners.
In this episode, we answer questions submitted by Scott, Greg, Charlotte, Clarissa, Sheri, and Paul. In this month's listener Q&A, we tackle a diverse set of questions that reflect the full range of challenges mineral and royalty owners face — from a technical question about appraisal methodology, to a listener navigating a suspicious lease offer, to a Haynesville owner trying to squeeze more value out of a lease negotiation. We also respond to a listener who sent along an article that discussed the Section 45Q carbon capture expansion in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and we provide a comparison to the mineral owner-focused take that we covered in Episode 297. Whether you're just starting to untangle inherited rights or you're deep in lease negotiations with a major operator, this episode has something for you. As before, many of the questions in this episode are covered in more depth in my Mineral Management Basics online course , including how to read a legal description, perform a title search, identify nearby oil and gas activity, and determine whether you should be getting paid on a well. Additional links to resources mentioned in this episode can be found in the show…
