Unlike many other countries the mineral rights of the respective properties belong to the land owners in United states. Hence the oil, gas and other mineral extraction companies should directly approach the land owner who have the desired minerals beneath the surface. Once the companies founds a mineral ore in a particular area of the state, they send mails to the owners of all the lands which covered the mineral resource. In general, the high valued minerals would be oil and gas, however, others like coal, gravel and valuable metals are also included.
They are Federal and State laws which say how minerals are extracted and who has rights to use them and profit them. One of the famous way through which many land lords and corporations deal the issue is by selling or leasing the rights. In the agreements for leasing, the company pays the land lord for the rights of minerals beneath his property but the land lord still remains as a owner of the property, building and surface.
There are few agreements which even state which mineral is to be extracted if the property contains more than one mineral. The benefits given to the land lord include bonus during the agreement, monthly rentals on royalties and the share of the production. A well producing rights are always beneficial for the land owner and in case he is not sure about the quality and the quantity of the minerals he can sell his rights whether they are producing or non producing.
Once the agreement between the lessee and the lesser are done, oil or gas is extracted by the process of drilling.
