Most states utilize a land grid that allows for a standard to locate properties. The most common land grids have been created by utilizing Sections - Townships - Range. Below is a quick overview of how a land grid works.

Proximity

Every minerals location has different variables. One of the most common variables that effect mineral value is the proximity to oil and gas pipelines.

HOW TO LOCATE YOUR MINERALS

What is Township & Range?

Township is the largest grouping of land described in the land grid.

Range is assigned to a township by measuring east or west of a Principal Meridian.

Township & Range

The location of a specific Township is determined by the combination of "Township & Range". The Township & Range are reverenced from the State's Principal Meridian and the Base Line. For any given mineral owner, there is no need to know where the Principal Meridian or Baseline is located as any county land map will show the Township & Range.

What is a Section?

Townships are divided into 36 sections. Each section is a one mile square containing 640 acres.

Identify Locations

When identifying where your minerals are located, we always suggest with starting with the Township and then move to the Section.

For example, the following land description reads: 2-4N-2W

  • Located T4NR2W
  • Locate Section 2

What is a Quarter Section?

Many land descriptions will need to describe lands that are smaller than a 640 acre Section. To fuller delve into smaller tracts, States utilize Quarter Sections.

Understanding Quarter Sections

Similar to how Townships are broken into 36 sections, Sections can be broken into a number of Quarter Sections. We recommend starting backwards or biggest to smallest.

For Example, the following land description reads: NW1/4 of NE1/4 Sec. 2 T4NR2W

  • As seen above, we have already identified the Section-Township-Range.
  • Start backwards with the biggest description. In this example, the biggest description is NE1/4.
  • Once we identified the NE1/4 of the Section, we can then divide it further into quarters.
  • So the Next Quarter Section is the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 containing 40 acres.
  • You can repeat this process all the way down to 10 acres by adding additional Quarter Sections.

HOW PROXIMITY EFFECTS YOUR MINERALS

Proximity to Pipelines

Every minerals location has different variables. One of the most common variables that effect mineral value is the proximity to oil and gas pipelines.

How proximity decreases the value of minerals

If the mineral location does not have direct access to pipelines, operators must truck oil to the nearest terminal where the oil can be moved by pipelines or trains. Trucking cost can be expensive and lower the price the operator can sell the oil. the natural gas is flared when it cannot be moved in a pipeline yielding no value.

How proximity increases the value of minerals

If the mineral's location has access to pipelines with significant capacity, oil and gas can be sold a premium.

HOW ACCESSIBILTY EFFECTS YOUR MINERALS

Accessibility

The physical location of minerals effects future value of minerals.

Remoteness

In many cases, mineral location can create difficult environments to drill. For example, if a mineral is located deep in the mountains with minimal road access, the cost to drill and complete a well goes up significantly. As a result, when oil and gas prices are lower the operator will most likely not drill new wells thus decreasing the value.

Urban

If the mineral's location is in an urban area, cost related to drilling and completing wells can increase causing operators to delay drilling new wells till commodity prices increase dramatically.

TRP always hope that the accessibility of your minerals is easy so that you can reach extract highest value possible.

Why Sell Your Minerals

We strive to help facilitate your decisions so that you are empowered with the best information and knowledge so that you can capture the highest value of your minerals.

HOW REGULATIONS EFFECT YOUR MINERALS

Local Regulations

States and local municipalities have different rules and regulations that govern the oil and gas industry.

Stringent Rules & Regulations

In states where there are stringent and/or adverse political pressure, on the oil and gas industry, will negatively effect future mineral value.

Specifically, states and local municipalities that have or are contemplating significant set backs, decreasing flare volume, reduction of truck traffic, and other variables will decrease or eliminate future drilling locations thereby decreasing the potential value of your minerals.

Know the rules and get involved

We always encourage mineral owners to understand state and local rules and regulations. Decisions mandated by the governing bodies can drastically impact your mineral's value.
