At LandGate, we do the best we can to answer all your questions. Here are some common questions landowners have about mineral rights:

• There is a drilling rig on the property next door.
• Can I lease my minerals and get a well drilled?
• I think I own the oil and gas mineral rights under my property, but my brother, who does not live on the property, says he owns them also. I received a letter from a mineral buyer wanting to buy my oil, gas, and mineral rights in North Dakota. I live in Florida. How is that possible? 
• Why do I own the property, but not the mineral rights? 
• How can I only own a 6.25% interest in the oil, gas, and mineral rights?
