FAQ

Looking at Township, Range, and Section, tell us which county your lands reside in.
Keeping mineral rights under lease is essential to increase the chances of being included in a drilling unit and realize the benefit of oil or gas production. Withholding a decision to lease with hopes of receiving more per-acre bonus money later on may work against you. Exploration companies may change their area of interest based on geology or exceed their budgets for lease acquisition and decide to focus their resources elsewhere.
Submit the mineral lease evaluation form, and TCO will see if we can help you sell or lease your minerals. Use the form below to send us your information.
A good time to sell your minerals is when they are in high demand, and operators are very active in your area. In that environment, you will probably get the highest value for your asset.
Values are generally based on your proximity to current oil or gas production and dry or abandoned wells. Any bonus amounts paid for leasing your minerals depend on these factors and if there is more than one company competing for your lease.
All oil and gas-producing states rely on commissions to oversee and enforce all oil and gas production laws. State engineers set standards for pooling and spacing areas to protect adjacent landowners from drainage based on independent studies. Commissions mandate operators and purchasers to report monthly production rates and well status.

We can begin the title review process after we receive your lease package at our office, which includes an executed oil and gas lease, signed order for payment, and tax ID. We have forty-five (45) banking days to review your title and verify your ownership. Payment will be rendered before the forty-five (45) banking days have elapsed.
Fracking (short for hydraulic fracturing) is drilling down into the earth to extract oil or natural gas from deep underground. A high-pressure water mixture is then aimed at the rock to release the gas inside.
TCO does not take oil and gas leases or buy minerals on our behalf to avoid conflict of interest issues. We use our large client network to help landowners get fair market value for their oil and gas lease or mineral sale. TCO has worked with some of the most respected operating companies, large and small, throughout the US for over fifty years, and we understand how important it is to lease or sell your minerals to the right company.
Copies of your oil and gas leases can be found filed with the county where your lands reside.
This depends on what the current demand is for your area. Please contact us directly to discuss further.
