MRP 8: Forced Pooling - What Are Your Options?

In Episode 8, we talk about forced pooling and expand on the concept of non-operated Working Interests as covered in Episode 7. We highlight the typical options that a mineral owner is faced with when they receive a forced pooling notice and election letter in the mail. This includes:

- Participating in the well (covered in more detail in Episode 7)

- Leasing

- Making an affirmative election to "non-consent" to the well

- Getting Forced Pooled

Examples discussed are specific to Colorado but many states have similar requirements. Check with your state's oil and gas commission for more information.
