My grandfather traded a tractor for the mineral rights under some land in Okaholma 70 years ago. Phillips contacted us in about 1960 or so for rights to explore the site. They found Natural gas and capped the well . We got one check for about $20.00 for the gas removed during the drilling and that was it. The well is considered a reserve and may never be opened. So much for my dreams of being an oil tycoon. I also had a great aunt that died and left her entire estate, some $3,000,000.00 {in 1935 dollars} to an Oklahoma college. They have a building named after her. "Miller Hall"
