CBNGA Biographies
To learn more about what CBNG development has actually been like for a landowner, visit the CBNGA Ambassadors page below. These landowners share their overall positive experiences with CBNG development. According to these ranchers, farmers and landowners, the key to successful coexistence with agriculture and energy development (along with good communications with their operators) is finding the correct “tool,” or “set of tools,” that works for their land.

The Split Estate Issue
Wyoming and Montana, like other Western
states, recognize separate ownership of the surface estate and subsurface
estate (where the minerals lie) and the distinct property rights associated
with each. Often, different parties own the surface and subsurface.
This is commonly referred to as “split estate” lands.

Surface Owner Agreements
Surface owner agreements are negotiated between
the surface owner and the mineral lessee and describe how the mineral
lessee will enter upon the surface, develop and extract the natural
gas. Even if the surface owner does not own minerals, an agreement is
still negotiated. LEARN MORE
Royalty Owner Information
Royalty owners are those who own the mineral
rights or subsurface on the property to be developed. For those who
are inexperienced in negotiating an acceptable oil and gas lease, we
recommend Hints on Negotiating an Oil and Gas
Lease from the Real Estate Center.

Water Management Options
The water produced by CBNG development will
be sent to agreed-upon management sites on the property. These must
conform to regulatory guidelines. Most water may be discharged into
drainages including off-channel reservoirs, in-channel ponds and stock
tanks.
