re: Just bought 40 acres

We've got mineral rights on close to a thousand acres in E. Tex, so opposite of your situation- little check comes every month, but not once has someone from the oil co. stepped foot on it- it's been this way for as long as I can remember. So, as long as they don't find anything, you're good- but also remember that the could put the rig elsewhere and still produce from under your property.
