is it now common / normal for gas-oil leases to have transportation / post production / taxes deducted from the wellhead royalty>
Very common. North Dakota is one of the states that generally has that clause. Savvy mineral owners will try to negotiate to remove that clause or modify it. Severance taxes are usually taken out. Other states, such as Oklahoma, may have the clause in the operator’s draft lease, but mineral owners have a better chance of negotiating the clause out as OK is a “duty to market” state.
Thank you for your insight. My last lease was from 2011. Price was from the well head. no deducted costs. I am in 142-99
