MRP 339: Mineral Rights News July 2026
About this episode
This episode discusses recent developments in the oil and gas industry and their implications for mineral owners.
This month has been a roller coaster ride in the oil and gas world, and mineral owners have a front row seat. A Colorado town just sold off its own mineral rights in a fight that split its council right down the middle, oil prices have been yo-yoing on every twist in the Iran situation, in an obvious political move, President Trump is picking a fight with the same oil companies he courted for campaign donations, and the Interior Department quietly rolled back a set of Biden-era drilling rules that could reshape how quickly federal leases move. We break down these stories, and discuss why "the news" and "your bottom line" are more connected than most owners realize. Let's get into it. As always, links to the articles discussed can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com .
