The Senate unanimously approved Senate Bill 259, which would invalidate drilling leases unless the lessor is guaranteed at least a one-eighth royalty of all severed natural gas or oil.
The legislation also would require that the lessor’s check stub include detailed information ranging from severance and production taxes to the total barrels of oil or Mcf of gas purchased.
El proyecto de ley pasa ahora a la Cámara.
