Any idea of the size of the royalty check I’ll receive?
A precise dollar value for the royalty checks won’t be known until after gas is received from the well(s), and estimates at this time vary widely. A fairly conservative estimate has royalty checks at around $300-$400 a month for a 1/4th acre lot (with good, solid production at the well head) for the first year or so. For the next year or two, the amount might be closer to $80-$100/mo. Three or four years after the start of production, royalty checks might be closer to $50/mo. But checks in that approximate amount might last 10 or more years.
