Book Description
The Appraisal of Mineral Rights is a meant as a guide to valuing minerals, particularly oil and gas properties, as real property interests. Most valuation books related to mineral rights focus on setting values for industry specialists. Those emphasize the techniques that oil and gas professionals apply when creating documents for SEC filings, or internal valuation related to deciding which prospects to drill. This work is intended for the appraiser, the real estate agent, and the average mineral owner who needs a valuation that can be used for internal estate management, for valuation related to estate or income taxes, or to evaluate an offer made to purchase the mineral right. Such appraisals should conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) rather than be an engineering text. Portfolios of mineral rights, working interests, and over-riding royalty interests are intangible business interests. This book explores the passive interest of actual real property. It is the fee in mineral or the leased fee that is explained. The book starts with a brief history of petroleum valuation and the development of the techniques commonly applied to the appraisal of a mineral interest. It breaks down the legal and appraisal terminology into simple explanations. The lease is dissected and each part of lease terminology is explained. Pooling and divisions of interest are explained. The more technical aspects of valuation are reserved for the last half of the book applying the standard appraisal approaches to value in addition to the application of methodologies unique to minerals. The author ends the book with his commentary on the boom - bust cycle of oil exploration and an exploration of the relationship between earthquakes and fracking.

Book Description
This book covers a broad spectrum of issues shaping the current paradigm of minerals sector governance. The ultimate aim of the book is to understand trends and developments in mineral law and policy occurring at international, regional, cross-border and in some selected cases at national level and also to identify some of the challenges lying ahead. With these objectives in view, the book brings together a representative selection of the most knowledgeable authors on the subject. The contributions deal with a diverse range of issues tackled from interdisciplinary perspectives. Topics are divided into five main chapters: international and comparative aspects of mineral law; actors and policies in the minerals industry; investment prospects, financial and fiscal issues; sustainable development and regional outlooks. The book aspires to serve as a useful reference for scholars, practitioners, students and all those with an interest in current developments in the areas reviewed.

Book Description
This booklet is meant as an introduction to what the layperson with mineral rights wants to know. There is a basic glossary, details about transferring a deed, negotiating a lease, understanding a division order, calculating net mineral acres, paying taxes for royalties and other income related to mineral rights, and selling mineral rights. This overview may help you decide what kind of help you need for the long term, and will give you tips for finding that help. My goal is to help the uninitiated avoid being scammed and low-balled by providing an overall review of processes and documents that mineral rights owners may eventually encounter. Trying to find a fair and honest deal is tough for the uninformed mineral rights owner, especially in states where the oil companies have a great deal of political power, and regulations are weak or scarce. I have been a go-to resource for my family on this topic since inheriting mineral rights almost 17 years ago.
