Surface Use Rates

Can anyone give me the current prevailing rates for Surface Use in Howard County? This is what they are offering.

Well Pad $7,500/acre Central Production Facility Pad $7,500/acre New Roadways $50/rod Electrical Easement $50/rod Pipeline Right-of-Way Easement $150/rod Well Pad Expansion or additional Well Pad $7,500/acre Central Production Facility Pad Expansion or Additional CPF Pad $7,500/acre

My advice is to find an attorney who does not have a conflict of interest to research not only the rates but your land owner rights before agreeing to ANYTHING!

Becky Garth…is their an oil and gas attorney that works in Howard County that you could recommend? Thank you!

You can observe qualified professionals (often with localized expertise) who provide services to mineral owners right here on The Mineral Rights Forum. You will notice them among 3 different instances on the site:

  • in display image ads and/or brief text messaging on site

  • in our Mineral Service Provider Directory in the main navigation above. These are arranged by professional discipline.

  • as a Business Member participating in many conversations throughout the site (note the blue colored “B” on their picture and blue text on their posts).

These practitioners are often able to provide the specific (and often localized) services that meet your needs.
