Leasing Inquiry

Want to Lease Your Minerals?

If you own mineral rights across our operating states and are interested in leasing them, we can walk you through the process, explain your options, and help connect you with the right opportunities.

Understanding Your Mineral Rights

Owning mineral rights across our operating states can be valuable — especially in active development areas like the active development areas. Leasing those rights to an oil and gas operator allows development to occur while you receive compensation.

When you lease your minerals, you receive a signing bonus (paid upfront) and retain a royalty interest in any production from your land. The lease grants the operator the right to drill and produce oil and gas for a set primary term, with the possibility of extension if production is established.

Understanding lease terms, negotiating fair bonus and royalty rates, and protecting your rights as a landowner are all important — and that's where Border Resources LLC can help.

Key Lease Terms to Understand

  • Signing bonus — upfront payment per net mineral acre
  • Royalty rate — your share of production revenue
  • Primary term — length of the lease (typically 3–5 years)
  • Held by production — lease continues if a well is producing
  • Depth clauses — which formations are covered
  • Surface protection provisions
  • Shut-in royalties and force majeure clauses
