In this month’s Mineral Rights Podcast news episode for December 2021, we talk about orphan wells and how some states are considering stronger financial assurances to cover the cost of plugging these wells and how the Interior Department is considering raising the royalty rate for new leases on public lands.
As always, Justin Williams joins me to provide the individual mineral owner perspective and we discuss our respective takes on each story to help you keep tabs on the latest happenings in the world of minerals and royalties.
