This is what the companies are paying for oil drilled on private property.. the amount paid for oil drilled on government owned land is far much lower.

Selling prices are based on OPEC


That doesn't really mean anything because what he is paid is determined on how his lease was negotiated.

This what my family does for living and has for the past 70 years in Texas so, I can assure you he is either full of shit or a classic example of economic Darwinism.
