Can anyone tell me if the Louisiana ten (10) year limitation on reserving mineral rights, (when the land is sold), applies if the land is leased and has a producing well on the land prior to selling?

Thank you, Dion.

Skip I was surprised to see some of the lands South of Alexandria sold for I-49 where the state got the minerals.

That is a surprise.  We've previously discussed minerals reserved to the sellers in the I-49 right-of-way.  Any idea how those minerals did not get reserved?

On one tract  around 175 acres were separated to the western side of I-49 from the eastern 1000 acres. I could see maybe how this could happen but there was another tract that I will have to look back at to refresh my memory because I didn't buy the lease on that tract.

Pardon my geographical knowledge or laque thereof" but how close is that to Arizona rd ? And any info on leases in that area would be greatly appriciated . It's in section 21

Were all 175 acres within the right-of-way?  That would seem unusual indeed.  Of course the interstate would serve to divide an existing mineral servitude potentially rendering some portion subject to prescription. 

The folks were able to reserve minerals under I-49 but not on the property to the West of the ROW. The state still owns the 175 acres, surface and minerals.

How does that work, two dogs? Reserve minerals on one side of the Big Road, but can't reserve them on the other side???

Man, there's some Cajun logic for you.Because the landowner can no longer access his property directly he won't be going over there, and so he won't be needing  his mineral rights either. Jeez.

Besides, the state can't acquire mineral rights anyway, except on property sold for taxes.

I'm almost positive other acres on other side would be us on other side of 175acres .. Because it's been in our family since 1800's . Thank you very much for the info

Eric, there is no Arizona Parish in LA.  There is a small town in Claiborne Parish by the name of Arizona however it is nowhere near Interstate 49 and the lands to which Two Dogs is referring.

Good thing I apologized for my laque thereof geographical knowledge . It is in town of Arizona in Claiborne . Like I mentioned I haven't been to it yet , but I have map at home thanks "whew"
Good mornin, thanks guys for the info , since I just gained ownership 4 months ago (everything transferred)Hopefully it won't be too difficult. All I can do at this point is try and see. There's no wells on property but not sure about wells in area, may be one or two on others land
