This episode covers several critical developments affecting mineral rights owners, from post-production deductions from royalty checks in North Dakotato Wyoming's controversial proposal for reclaiming abandoned mineral rights. We also discuss the recent Cactus Water Services Texas Supreme Court ruling on produced water ownership and how it provides clarity around hydrocarbons contained in produced water while leaving questions unanswered related to lithium and other valuable minerals. All this and more! As always, links to the articles discussed can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
