Join Matt Jones and April L. Rolen-Ogden on Energy Law This Week as they delve into the complexities of overriding royalty interests in the oil and gas industry. This episode explores why they are granted and how they work, with emphasis on the “washout” issues that often accompany the interests. Because these burdens are often part of oil and gas transactions, and because they are the way in which many landmen, geologists, and geophysicists get paid, an enormous amount of money is often at stake. And as with most interests, there is often a question of what costs are borne by it, particularly when it comes to post-production costs.  Often abbreviated as ORRI, the  Over-Riding Royalty Interests is a key feature of many oil and gas net revenue streams.

(Program Note: Matt wanted to describe these issues as an “either/ORRI” situation; April recoiled in horror.)

Ever thought rock music and actual rocks might have more in common than you’d guess? This episode dives into the fascinating crossover between geoscience and music. I sit down with geophysicists who also happen to be musicians to explore how harmonics, frequencies, and rhythms connect sound waves to seismic waves. And yes, there’s even an annual presidential jam session at the conference where attendees and speakers trade data charts for guitars and drums. Listen in!

This episode is easy. Simple. Totally casual. We’re not overthinking anything here — just a light little stroll through the energy that keeps everything running. Cities, houses, burritos, laptops, maybe even your dog’s heated bed — nothing complicated. But here’s the thing: when you start adding it all up, the question sneaks in — how much energy does one person actually use? A little? A lot? Enough to power a light bulb, or an entire small country? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it chill. Totally simple.

Case File: “The Family Business”
 (Classification: Open Investigation)

The assignment came in quiet, late at night, the kind of job nobody wants but somebody’s gotta do. A series of unusual fatalities. The cause? Power. Not the political kind—the kind that runs your lights, your stove, your car.

Every suspect was already on the board: Coal, Oil, Natural Gas, Nuclear, Hydropower, Solar, and Wind. Each one looked respectable enough on the surface. Each one had an alibi, a story, a clean set of papers. But scratch the surface, and the trail turned dark.

The reports kept piling up:

The witnesses talked about black lungs, broken rigs, collapsing dams. They whispered about wars fought over fuel, about families displaced when the river rose, about workers who went up the turbine and never came back down.

It was clear from the start—this wasn’t just one perpetrator. It was a syndicate. A whole family business built on watts, wires, and bodies.

Our job? To follow the evidence. To pull the records, the autopsy notes, the disaster reports. To count what nobody wants to count.

The names are on the file. The case is open. And when the lights flick on in your living room tonight, you’ll know—somewhere out there, somebody paid the price.
