Getting involved in the ownership of minerals underneath the ground will be the domain of oil and gas royalty interest programs or deals. These types of deals involve receiving a portion of the proceeds from extraction of natural resources like oil and gas. You can find some limitations concerning such investment opportunities but there's also the possibility of big payouts.
Some of the advantages of owning an Oil and Gas Company and gas interest run the gamut as well as in general are less riskier than owning an actual well. Owning a well introduces a host of problems including messy liability issues and major expenditures for production.
Owning interests in oil and gas will remain in perpetuity. This means even though the working interest of a particular well may change hands several times, the interest of the royalty holder will remain intact throughout these changes.
Holding oil or gas royalty interests has the added benefit of no liability issues. Liability issues can be between the working interest and the government or between the subcontractors and the operators of the well itself. There are environmental liabilities that has to be considered, property damage, injury, and of course common liability problems with debtors and even a company going under. Liens held against the operations of the well may also occur which places those that have working interest at a disadvantage if you will discover injuries or possibly a lawsuit is brought again the company producing the resource.
Another benefit is that there are actually no extra costs related to owning an oil and gas interest. The working interest will be the sole responsible party in all of the operational costs for the well. This could include metering, plugging, pumping, up to and including abandonment.
Luck as in most investments in life can also play a big part. Though not actively involved in the production, sometimes more wells will be drilled on the same lease which means that the owners of the oil or gas interest will benefit from the extra sales following production from the new wells. All again without the operational cost.
Unlike in real estate and other kinds of investment, no capital calls are allowed. Those holding interest in oil or gas will never have to concern yourself with requests for payment because those interest holders are divorced from the particular operation of the well such as drilling.
