Who owns the land and mineral rights?
A. The landowner is typically referred to as the “surface owner”. He or she may or may not also own the mineral rights. On rare occasions Investors Energy could be both surface and mineral rights owner. In most cases, Investors Energy leases the mineral rights from one entity and negotiates access rights with the surface owner who is quite often a totally different person or entity. One of Investors Energys most important responsibilities is securing clear title to mineral rights and maintaining good relations with surface owners.
