Hello everyone. My sister and i just found out we own mineral rights in Archer County, TX. It was a shock and we are trying to get as much info as we can before we make a decision. We have been offered a Seismic permit with option to lease. We would like to find out if the Seismic permit with option to lease is normally signed together. also they are offering $15 per acre for 12 month for the seismic permit is that good? The option to lease is a three year at $90 per net mineral acre and 1/6 royalty there is no mention of a lease bonus. Any comments are appreciated thanks.
Travis,
Is there any production or any drilling activity around your minerals area? What is the Abstract, Block, and Section # of your minerals acreage? Lets pull this up on the GIS map and see what's in the area.. 1/6 royalty and $90 is definitely too cheap nowdays for any lease. That's an insult.

All we have for location is Hooper & Wade survey section 6 abstract 1107. I appreciate any help we can get thanks Clint.

Travis, I see numerous dry holes have been drilled in the past in the surrounding area. Also to the northeast, east and southeast are numerous plugged oil wells and possibly a few producing oil wells. The blue circles with sticks through them are dry holes. The green circles with 2 sticks are plugged oil wells and the green circles are possibly producing oil wells. This is a link to a well in Abstract 234:
There is production in the area. Possibly someone else in the Archer County Group will chime in with some info on the bonus money per acre and the royalty percentage.
