MRP 354: Listener Questions October 2026

This month’s mailbag covers a little bit of everything; thanks to Alfred, Jesse, Dave, John, Dean, Frank and Gary for sending in a question this month. Questions range from who gets paid royalties on gravel, to the Lithium that may be hiding in produced water with Pennsylvania natural gas, what to do when a royalty check hasn’t arrived in four months, and we finally do the math to answer the question about what is better – a higher lease bonus or the highest royalty rate possible when leasing. This month’s listener questions come from North Dakota, Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Colorado and beyond, but the lessons carry across state lines. Whether you own minerals or are just curious, there’s a good chance one of these answers will save you money, time or a headache.
