First, one most know how much land is owned by them in an established unit where the well is drilled. For illustration let's say one owns 20 acres of a 160 acre unit. Next through negotiations on the original oil lease we will know what percent of the production will go to the owner as royalty commonly expressed as 1/5 (a fifth),1/4 ( a quarter) or less, etc. Let's assume in this example the negotiated amount was 1/5.

20 acres over a 160 acre unit equals .125 times .20 (1/5) eguals .025 which will be the fractional ownership interest assuming that the 20 acres is 100% theirs.

Taking that .025 fractional owner interest times whatever that production sells for during a specific time period ( usually a month) will be what the owner will receive minus severance taxes. If the well produces 10000 barrels of crude valued and sold at $100. per barrel there will be $1,000,000 in sells times the .025 (fractional ownership interest = $25000 minus a severance tax going to this particular owner.

How do commercial leases differ from residential leases?

Commercial leases are generally locked up for a much longer term then residential leases, and it's much, much harder to break a commercial lease. One big difference between commercial leases and residential leases that a lot of people don't realize is that commercial leases are not subject to many of the consumer protection laws that residential leases are. Make sure you know what you're getting into before signing. Most commercial leases are NNN which require the lessee to pay all utilities, insurance, and property taxes. Most residential leases are on a Gross rental basis and do not directly pay NNN charges. Commercial Appraiser http://www.harriscompanyrec.com

What happens if the tenant pays property taxes can the tenant claim ownership?

No, the owner is identified by recorded warranty deed. There are all type of rental agreements, if you agreed to pay the property taxes, it's just a part of your rent. Net leases, net/net, or triple net are good leases to get if you are the property owner. Now, if the taxes are unpaid and on April 15, you go pay them through a tax certificate sale, after two years, you are eligible to take it 'to the courthouse steps' where you can bid against others for rights to the property. Oftentimes though, all you get is your money back with the 5%+ interest. In order to get the certificate, you have to bid what interest you want on your money, in my county, the minimum is 5%. So, if you really want the property and don't mind waiting, you can bid 0% because you are guaranteed 5%. It varies from county to county and state to state, but you can check it out with your county tax collector. Although if you are a tenant and just pay the property taxes, this does not constitute ownership.
