After drilling a well and assuming oil is present, what is protocal? ie drill rig removed, pump installed, fracing etc ect. This paticular drill rig is presantley in r 157. Also on confidential list until 03/09 +/-. When are mineral owners notified of the findings/production?

Little fish, All of the 'legal records' for mineral ownership are at your county courthouse -- that is what the landman researches and provides to the company for leasing purposes, short of having the actual Deed in hand (your hand) those are the records that will be used. All mineral transfers have to be legally recorded at the county court house in the recorders office. That is why the court houses are overflowing with landmen--- that is the place to find the legal data. For Example:Let's say that your husband's family has 4 kids who share the mineral rights on 100 GROSS mineral acres. While the GROSS number is shown on that piece of land, only YOUR portion, your NET portion, would be NET 25 acres that belong to your husband. So your personal lease (the siblings would do their own personal leasing)is paid upon the NET 25 acres that belong to your husband... Hope this helps!
