A landman reviews it, not a call center. You will hear back the same day.
Leasing pays a one-time bonus and keeps your royalty if wells are drilled. Selling pays once and ends the risk and the paperwork. If you expect to hold for the long haul and can wait on drilling, leasing usually makes more sense. If you need cash now, are settling an estate, or are splitting a small family share, selling often does. We will tell you which one fits, even when the answer is to keep them.
Horizontal units in this area often cover two sections, so owners in Section 23 frequently own next door too. Neighboring sections in 17N-23W: Section 14 to the north, Section 26 to the south, Section 24 to the east and Section 22 to the west. See every section on the 17N-23W township page.
