oil rights
Underground extraction permits
Oil rights are legal claims to extract petroleum from land, whether or not you own the surface property.
In many places, mineral rights can be separated from surface rights, so a landowner might sell their oil rights while keeping the land: The family retained the ranch but sold the oil rights decades ago.
Oil rights become valuable when exploration suggests reserves beneath the property.
