Get Your Free ValuationLouisiana has a long history of oil and gas production, from the early salt dome fields to today's modern horizontal drilling in the Haynesville Shale. If you're a Minnesota resident who inherited Louisiana mineral rights, you're managing assets from over 1,200 miles away with very different mineral laws.
Many Minnesota families have Louisiana connections through military service, career moves, or family migrations over generations. Relatives who worked in Louisiana oil fields, family who settled in the Pelican State, or investments made decades ago have left mineral rights in the hands of North Star State heirs. Managing Louisiana minerals from Minnesota presents unique challenges:
Understanding Louisiana's unique mineral laws (based on civil law, not common law)
Dealing with the prescription period (minerals can lapse back to surface owner)
Tracking production across different parishes
Filing Louisiana income tax returns for royalty income
We buy minerals throughout Louisiana. The state's oil and gas production spans several distinct areas:
One of America's largest natural gas plays in Northwest Louisiana. Parishes: Caddo, Bossier, DeSoto, Red River, Sabine. Premium location for gas-focused minerals.
Oil-focused play in Central Louisiana with developing activity. Parishes: LaSalle, Avoyelles, Rapides.
Legacy production from salt dome and offshore-adjacent fields. Parishes: Vermilion, Iberia, St. Mary, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Cameron.
Legacy Cotton Valley, Austin Chalk, and other formations. Various parishes across northern Louisiana.
Louisiana is the only state with mineral laws based on the civil law tradition (from French and Spanish colonial influence) rather than English common law. This creates some unique situations:
Prescription: Unused mineral rights can "prescribe" (lapse) back to the surface owner after 10 years of non-use
Mineral servitudes: Louisiana uses "servitudes" rather than fee ownership in some cases
Understanding these nuances is important when selling. We're familiar with Louisiana mineral law and can navigate these complexities.
Minnesota and Louisiana may seem worlds apart, from the frozen lakes of the Land of 10,000 Lakes to the bayous of the South. But many Minnesota families have Louisiana connections through military service, career moves, or family migrations over the generations.
Grandparents who worked in Louisiana oil fields, relatives who settled in the Gulf Coast region, or investments made decades ago have connected these two states through mineral rights ownership. For Minnesota families with Louisiana mineral rights, selling provides immediate value without the complexity of managing assets over 1,200 miles away with very different legal systems.
