How the rule works
State judicial sale of mineral interests whose proceeds have been abandoned 15 years under the unclaimed property act; no nonuse lapse. Oklahoma has no dormant mineral act, and its Marketable Record Title Act expressly does not bar or extinguish severed mineral or royalty interests (16 O.S. 76). It does have an abandoned mineral interest rule tied to unclaimed money: if the proceeds or other intangible property from a mineral interest have been abandoned for 15 years under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, the mineral interest itself becomes subject to judicial sale by the State on a petition by the Attorney General or a district attorney (84 O.S. 271.1, 273 to 277; 60 O.S. 658.1). The sale price goes to the State Treasurer and is treated as unclaimed property, the buyer takes subject to Corporation Commission pooling and drilling orders, and the surface owner of record only receives mailed notice of the sale; title does not pass to the surface owner.
What has to happen
The Attorney General or the district attorney files a petition in the name of the State in the district court of the county where the interest lies (84 O.S. 273); summons issues and notice is published, and claimants must appear within 30 days of first publication or judgment is entered by default (274, 275). On judgment for the State the interest is sold by the sheriff under court order at no less than a court fixed minimum price; abandoned interests in a single production unit are grouped for sale, the interest stays subject to Corporation Commission pooling and drilling orders, the record surface owner is mailed notice of the sale at least 30 days before, and the buyer pays the costs of the action (271.1, 276). The net sale proceeds are paid to the State Treasurer and treated as unclaimed property (276).
What counts as use or preserves the interest
Not a use test. Mineral proceeds are presumed abandoned only if unclaimed by the owner for more than five years after becoming payable or distributable (60 O.S. 658(A)), so an owner who claims the proceeds is not in the abandonment chain
Any person claiming an interest may appear and contest the State's petition, within 30 days of first publication unless the court orders otherwise (84 O.S. 275)
After a sale, the net proceeds are treated as unclaimed property under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act (84 O.S. 276), so the former owner's claim shifts to the money
Scope
- Interests covered
- Mineral interests in Oklahoma land that generate proceeds or other intangible property (royalties, net revenue and overriding royalty interests, production payments, bonuses, delay rentals, shut in and minimum royalties: 60 O.S. 651(14)) that has been abandoned. A mineral interest that generates no such property is outside the statute's terms (inference from the text).
- Minerals covered
- All minerals (any mineral interest in land in Oklahoma).
- Exceptions
Mineral interests subject to sale under 84 O.S. 271.1 are excluded from the seven year absentee escheat rule in 84 O.S. 271(2); they are sold, not escheated
A sold interest remains subject to all prior valid pooling and drilling orders, rules or regulations of the Corporation Commission (84 O.S. 271.1(2))
- Enactment and amendments
- 84 O.S. 271.1 and 60 O.S. 658.1 added by Laws 1978, c. 229, effective January 1, 1979; 271.1 amended 1983, 1984 and 2005 (c. 421); 658.1 amended 1988, 1991, 1999 and 2005; 658.1A added 1985. Marketable Record Title Act 16 O.S. 71 to 80 from 1963; section 76 amended 1995. Text from the Oklahoma Legislature's complete title files dated December 31, 2025.
Dates and what they mean
The rule works through a court decision. A last use date plus the period shows only when a case could begin to be argued, not an outcome.
No last use date applies. The trigger is 15 years of abandoned proceeds under the unclaimed property act, measured from a start point the text does not pin down, followed by a State petition, judgment and sheriff's sale; a calculator cannot produce a date, and nonuse of a mineral interest that generates no proceeds does nothing.
Deceased or unlocated owner
Partly checked What the law of Oklahoma says when the owner of record has died, is unknown, or cannot be found. It sets out the questions; it does not decide who owns an interest, whether a notice was valid, or whether an interest ended.
Why only partly checked. The case search was rate limited, and no decision on the 52 O.S. 521 receivership was located.
Oklahoma has no dormant mineral act. Three statutes deal with owners who cannot be found: a district court may appoint a receiver to sell an oil and gas lease on a minority mineral interest whose owners' whereabouts cannot be ascertained after due diligence, with the money held in the court registry (52 O.S. 521 to 523); money due under a pooling order to persons who are unknown or cannot be located is escrowed and then held by the State Treasurer in the Mineral Owner's Fund (52 O.S. 551 to 558); and a mineral interest whose proceeds have been abandoned for fifteen years can be sold by the State on the Attorney General's or a district attorney's petition, served by publication (84 O.S. 271.1 to 277).
- Owner of record has died
- Not addressed as such. The Mineral Owner's Fund pays the rightful owner or the owner's heirs, devisees or assigns on proof of ownership (52 O.S. 554(C)); the receivership and abandoned mineral sale provisions read do not mention death or heirs.
- Current owner unknown
- Pooling money owed to persons who are unknown is escrowed on the same footing as for persons who cannot be located (52 O.S. 552(A)(2)). The abandoned mineral sale summons by publication runs to all persons interested (84 O.S. 274). The 52 O.S. 521 receivership is framed around whereabouts, not identity.
- Owner known but cannot be found
- A minority owner whose residence, business address or whereabouts cannot be ascertained after due diligence may have a receiver appointed to lease the interest (52 O.S. 521, 522); pooling money owed to persons who cannot be located after due diligence is escrowed (52 O.S. 552).
How the nonuse rule treats these owners Statute
There is no nonuse mechanism; the abandoned mineral interest sale runs from fifteen years of abandoned proceeds under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act and requires a court judgment and sale.
Statute
If proceeds from a mineral interest are abandoned for fifteen years under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, the mineral interest is not escheated but becomes subject to judicial sale by the State. 84 O.S. 271.1
“If the proceeds or other intangible property interest from any mineral interests are abandoned for a period of fifteen (15) years, as provided for in the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, then the mineral interest which generates the intangible property interest shall not be subject to escheat, but shall be subject to judicial sale by the state”
Scope: Mineral interests generating unclaimed proceeds; this is the only Oklahoma mechanism found that can end an owner's title for inactivity, and it runs from abandoned proceeds, not nonuse of the minerals.
Heirs, devisees and successors Statute
Only the Mineral Owner's Fund provision names heirs, devisees or assigns, as persons who may claim escrowed pooling money on proof of ownership. The receivership and abandoned sale provisions read do not address heirs.
Statute
Claims on the Mineral Owner's Fund are paid on sufficient proof of ownership to the rightful owner or the owner's heirs, devisees or assigns. 52 O.S. 554(C)
“upon sufficient proof of ownership, the State Treasurer shall pay monies to the rightful owner or to the rightful owner’s heirs, devisees or assigns”
Scope: Claims on pooling escrow money only; says nothing about title to the mineral interest.
Search required to find the owner Statute
A 52 O.S. 521 plaintiff must state the record interest, the last known address, the sources checked and that due diligence failed. Unclaimed mineral proceeds holders must report owners of record and last known addresses. Pooling escrow applies after due diligence fails.
Statute
The verified petition must state the defendants' apparent interest from the county clerk's record and other sources, the last known address, the sources checked, and that due diligence failed to find them. 52 O.S. 522(a)(3)
“the sources of information which plaintiff has checked in an attempt to locate the present address or whereabouts of said defendant or defendants, and further stating that plaintiff has exercised due diligence and cannot by any means within his control ascertain the present address or whereabouts”
Scope: Receivership petitions under 52 O.S. 521 to 523.
Holders of unclaimed mineral proceeds must report to the State Treasurer the names and last known addresses of the owners of record and the legal description; the Treasurer sends the names to the county clerk for public viewing. 60 O.S. 658.1
“shall report to the State Treasurer, in addition to the reporting otherwise required by law, the names and the last-known addresses of owners of record of the unclaimed mineral interest, the legal description of the land affected, and the extent of the property rights in the mineral interest.”
Scope: Reporting step that feeds the 84 O.S. 271.1 sale; no search duty for the State is stated in the provisions read.
Where money is payable under a Corporation Commission pooling order to persons who are unknown or cannot be located after due diligence, the holder must keep it in an escrow account for the rightful recipient. 52 O.S. 552(A) and (B)
“2. Persons entitled to the receipt of such monies are unknown or cannot be located after exercise of due diligence. B. The escrow account shall be for the benefit of the rightful recipient of the monies.”
Scope: Royalties, bonus and other money under pooling orders issued under 52 O.S. 87.1, in pooling proceedings filed after July 1, 1984 (52 O.S. 558(B)). Treats unknown and unlocated persons alike.
Who gets notice, and how Statute and court decisions
Receivership: one newspaper publication and mail to the last known address, if any. Pooling: mail, return receipt requested, to owners whose addresses are known or could be known with due diligence, plus publication. Abandoned mineral sale: summons as in civil cases and summons by publication. The Oklahoma Supreme Court has held publication alone insufficient where names and addresses are known or easily ascertainable.
Statute
Notice of the receivership hearing is given by one publication in a county newspaper and by mail to each defendant's last known address, if any, at least seven days before a hearing set at least fifteen days after filing. 52 O.S. 522(b)
“Notice of the hearing, the nature of the hearing and relief requested shall be given by publication one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the county and by mailing to the last-known address, if any, of the defendant or defendants as set forth in said petition.”
Scope: Receivership hearings under 52 O.S. 522.
A pooling applicant must mail notice, return receipt requested, at least fifteen days before the hearing to all owners whose addresses are known or could be known through due diligence, and must also publish. 52 O.S. 87.1(e)
“The applicant shall give all the owners whose addresses are known or could be known through the exercise of due diligence at least fifteen (15) days' notice by mail, return receipt requested. The applicant shall also give notice by one publication,”
Scope: Forced pooling applications before the Corporation Commission.
On the State's petition the clerk issues summons as in other civil cases and a summons by publication for all persons interested to answer within thirty days from first publication. 84 O.S. 274
“the clerk shall also issue a summons for publication, setting forth briefly the contents of the petition, for all persons interested in the property to appear and answer within thirty (30) days from the date of first publication,”
Scope: Proceedings under 84 O.S. 271.1 and 273.
Court decisions
When the names and addresses of affected parties are known or easily ascertainable with diligence, publication alone does not satisfy due process in a Corporation Commission proceeding. Cravens v. Corporation Commission, 613 P.2d 442 (Okla. 1980)
“When the names and addresses of the parties are known, or are easily ascertainable by the exercise of diligence, notice of pending proceedings by publication service alone, is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of due process under federal or Oklahoma constitutions.”
Scope: Oklahoma Supreme Court, controlling statewide. Arose from a spacing order affecting a known receiver of a producing lease; it does not address owners who cannot be found after diligence.
Notice by publication Statute
Publication is required in each procedure (52 O.S. 522(b), 87.1(e), 84 O.S. 274). In the abandoned mineral sale the surface owner of record also gets mailed notice of the sale at least thirty days ahead (84 O.S. 271.1(3)).
Statute
Notice of the receivership hearing is given by one publication in a county newspaper and by mail to each defendant's last known address, if any, at least seven days before a hearing set at least fifteen days after filing. 52 O.S. 522(b)
“Notice of the hearing, the nature of the hearing and relief requested shall be given by publication one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the county and by mailing to the last-known address, if any, of the defendant or defendants as set forth in said petition.”
Scope: Receivership hearings under 52 O.S. 522.
On the State's petition the clerk issues summons as in other civil cases and a summons by publication for all persons interested to answer within thirty days from first publication. 84 O.S. 274
“the clerk shall also issue a summons for publication, setting forth briefly the contents of the petition, for all persons interested in the property to appear and answer within thirty (30) days from the date of first publication,”
Scope: Proceedings under 84 O.S. 271.1 and 273.
Before an abandoned mineral sale, the surface owner of record is mailed notice at the last known address in the county treasurer's records at least thirty days before the sale. 84 O.S. 271.1(3)
“The record owner or owners of the surface from which abandoned mineral interests have been severed shall be mailed at the last-known address as shown by the records of the county treasurer a notice of the sale of such abandoned mineral interest at least thirty (30) days prior to said sale;”
Scope: Notice to the surface owner, not to the mineral owner.
How the owner responds or preserves Statute
A receivership defendant who answers and asks for dismissal is dismissed. In an abandoned mineral sale, claimants must appear within thirty days of first publication or default judgment is entered for the State.
Statute
At the hearing the court dismisses the action as to every defendant who answers and asks for dismissal. 52 O.S. 522(c)
“On the date set for said hearing the court shall dismiss the action as to all defendants who answer and request such dismissal,”
Scope: Receivership actions under 52 O.S. 521 to 523.
Any person claiming an interest may appear and plead within thirty days of first publication; if no one appears, default judgment is entered for the State. 84 O.S. 275
“If no person after notice as aforesaid shall appear and plead within the time prescribed by law, which shall not be less than thirty days after the first publication of notice, judgment shall be rendered by default in behalf of the state;”
Scope: Proceedings under 84 O.S. 271.1 and 273 to 277.
Court, receivership or trust for missing owners Statute
Court receivership to lease minority mineral interests of owners who cannot be located (52 O.S. 521 to 523); Corporation Commission escrow and the State Treasurer's Mineral Owner's Fund for pooling money of unknown or unlocated owners (52 O.S. 551 to 558); judicial sale of mineral interests with fifteen years of abandoned proceeds (84 O.S. 271.1 to 277, 60 O.S. 658.1).
Statute
The district court may appoint a receiver over the mineral interest of defendants owning in aggregate a minority interest whose residence, business address or whereabouts cannot be ascertained. 52 O.S. 521
“wherein it is made to appear that the defendant or defendants in such action own or appear to own in the aggregate a minority interest in said minerals thereunder but that the residence, business address or whereabouts of one or more of the defendants cannot be ascertained,”
Scope: Actions by an owner of a mineral interest or oil and gas lease in the same tract; minority interests only. The section speaks of whereabouts, not of unknown identity or death.
The receiver sells an oil and gas lease of up to five years primary term, and the money and later lease payments are held in the court registry for the defendants. 52 O.S. 523
“All monies paid to the receiver shall be by him deposited in the registry of the court for the use and benefit of the defendants”
Scope: Leases sold by a 52 O.S. 521 receiver; minimum bonus, rental and royalty are fixed by the court under 522(c).
Where money is payable under a Corporation Commission pooling order to persons who are unknown or cannot be located after due diligence, the holder must keep it in an escrow account for the rightful recipient. 52 O.S. 552(A) and (B)
“2. Persons entitled to the receipt of such monies are unknown or cannot be located after exercise of due diligence. B. The escrow account shall be for the benefit of the rightful recipient of the monies.”
Scope: Royalties, bonus and other money under pooling orders issued under 52 O.S. 87.1, in pooling proceedings filed after July 1, 1984 (52 O.S. 558(B)). Treats unknown and unlocated persons alike.
Escrowed pooling money is sent to the Corporation Commission and held by the State Treasurer in the Mineral Owner's Fund in trust for the mineral owners. 52 O.S. 554(A)
“transmit the funds to the State Treasurer, who shall hold the funds in trust for the mineral owners in the Mineral Owner's Fund.”
Scope: Money transmitted under 52 O.S. 552(E); the Commission keeps ten percent for administration (554(D)).
Money held five years or more after the date of pooling passes to the Unclaimed Property Fund and becomes subject to the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. 52 O.S. 556
“shall transfer to the Unclaimed Property Fund those monies which have been in escrow accounts and the Mineral Owner's Fund five (5) years or more after the date of pooling.”
Scope: Pooling escrow money.
Proceeds of a sale of minerals deemed abandoned are paid to the State Treasurer and treated as proceeds subject to the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. 84 O.S. 276
“any proceeds paid to the Treasurer resulting from a sale of minerals deemed abandoned pursuant to Sections 658.1 and 658.1A of Title 60 of the Oklahoma Statutes and Section 271.1 of this title shall be treated as proceeds subject to the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.”
Scope: Sales under 84 O.S. 271.1.
What a title review must establish
- Is any interest in the chain subject to a 52 O.S. 521 receivership, and did the receiver's lease meet the court's minimum bonus, rental and royalty terms?
- Did the receivership petition recite the sources checked and due diligence, and was notice both published and mailed to any last known address?
- Is pooling money for the interest in escrow or in the Mineral Owner's Fund, and has an heir, devisee or assign made a claim?
- Has the State Treasurer reported the interest as unclaimed under 60 O.S. 658.1, or has a 84 O.S. 271.1 sale judgment been entered?
Dates. Receivership: hearing at least fifteen (15) days from the date of filing; publication and mailing at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing; lease primary term not to exceed five (5) years (52 O.S. 522(b), 523). Pooling escrow: reports within one (1) year after the pooling order; money transferred to the Unclaimed Property Fund five (5) years or more after the date of pooling (52 O.S. 552(C), 556). Pooling notice: at least fifteen (15) days before the hearing (52 O.S. 87.1(e)). Abandoned mineral sale: proceeds abandoned for fifteen (15) years; answer within thirty (30) days from first publication; surface owner mailed notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the sale (84 O.S. 271.1, 274, 275). Nothing computed. The rule finder does not calculate this period.
What AMR searched. Read in full from the official Oklahoma Legislature complete title PDFs (created 31 Dec 2025): 52 O.S. 521 to 523, 551 to 558 and the notice paragraph of 87.1(e); 84 O.S. 271.1 and 273 to 277; 60 O.S. 658, 658.1 and 658.1A. Title 52 searched for unknown, cannot be located, whereabouts, due diligence and nonresident; hits outside those sections concern surface damages notice (52 O.S. 318.2 to 318.9, reviewed in October) and nonresident transferees. Cases: Cravens v. Corporation Commission (1980) and Cate v. Archon Oil Co. (1985) read in full through the Caselaw Access Project; CourtListener searches for cases on 52 O.S. 521 and 84 O.S. 271.1 could not run (rate limit), so no case law on those sections was reviewed. OSCN refused connections. Not reviewed: 12 O.S. service by publication rules, quiet title and probate. A point marked not addressed means only that the provisions read do not address it; probate, quiet title and other general procedures may still apply and were not reviewed.
Not settled by this review.
Whether any Oklahoma appellate decision interprets 52 O.S. 521 to 523 (receiver leases for unlocated owners) or the 84 O.S. 271.1 sale; none was located because the case search was rate limited.
How Corporation Commission rules implement 52 O.S. 551 to 558 and what proof the State Treasurer requires from heirs.
Cate v. Archon Oil Co., 695 P.2d 1352 (Okla. 1985), on mailed notice in execution sales of an oil and gas lease, was read and saved but not relied on because it concerns a judgment debtor, not an absent mineral owner.
Checked October 6, 2026. Also in the dormant mineral rule finder.
Forced pooling
Official text cited Yes. Where owners in an established spacing unit have not agreed to pool and one owner has drilled or proposes to drill, the Corporation Commission, on application and after notice and hearing, shall require the owners to pool and develop their lands in the unit on just and reasonable terms; an unleased owner is treated as a lessee for seven eighths and a lessor for one eighth until an election under the order (52 O.S. 87.1(e)). The Extended Horizontal Well Development Act (52 O.S. 87.6 to 87.9) adds multiunit horizontal wells and horizontal unitization of targeted reservoirs, the latter effective only with written consent of 63 percent of the working interest and 63 percent of the royalty interest in each spacing unit.
Surface damages
Official text cited Yes. The Surface Damages Act (52 O.S. 318.2 to 318.9, operative July 1, 1982) requires the operator to give the surface owner written notice of intent to drill and to negotiate surface damages in good faith; each operator must post a 25,000 dollar bond or equivalent with the Secretary of State. If no agreement is reached, the operator must petition the district court for three appraisers, may enter after filing, and either side may take exceptions or demand a jury; willful entry without notice, agreement or an appraiser petition exposes the operator to treble damages.
Taxes
Broad personal income tax: yes. Nonresidents owe Oklahoma tax on net rents and royalties from real and tangible personal property located in Oklahoma, and remitters must withhold an amount equal to the highest Oklahoma marginal individual income tax rate from the gross oil and gas royalty payments made to royalty owners who are not Oklahoma residents. Official text cited Source and notes.
Severance or production tax. Gross production tax 7 percent, 5 percent for a well’s first 36 months, plus a 0.095 percent excise tax and two small fees. Official text cited Full record: rates, exemptions, royalty owner share and sources.
Not tax advice. Rates change and the cited source controls.
Sources for the dormant mineral rule
Each source was read on the date shown. Where an official site was not available, the official page was read through a dated Internet Archive copy and that is stated.
- 84 O.S. 271.1
“If the proceeds or other intangible property interest from any mineral interests are abandoned for a period of fifteen (15) years, as provided for in the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, then the mineral interest which generates the intangible property interest shall not be subject to escheat, but shall be subject to judicial sale by the state”

“transfer to the Unclaimed Property Fund those monies which have been in escrow accounts and the Mineral Owner's Fund five (5) years or more after the date of pooling. After that time, such monies shall be subject to the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.”
Open questions for a specialist
This review did not settle these points. They are where an Oklahoma title attorney or landman should look first.
Whether the 15 years in 84 O.S. 271.1 and 60 O.S. 658.1 run from when the proceeds first became payable or from when they were first presumed abandoned (five years later) is not stated in the text read.
How often the Attorney General or district attorneys have used 271.1 sales, and any Oklahoma Supreme Court decisions on them or on their constitutionality, were not reviewed; how often they are used is not known.
The text is the Legislature's complete title files dated December 31, 2025; 2026 session amendments were not checked. OSCN, the usual official route, was not available when AMR checked.
Whether money in the Mineral Owner's Fund from pooling orders counts toward the 15 year abandonment for a 271.1 sale was not researched.
Common questions
Can mineral rights lapse in Oklahoma?
Not through nonuse. Oklahoma has no dormant mineral statute; its law provides a procedure for unknown or missing owners instead, described under How the rule works.
Does Oklahoma allow forced pooling?
Yes. Oklahoma has a forced pooling statute, summarized with its citation under Forced pooling above.
Does Oklahoma require payment for surface damage?
Yes. Oklahoma has a statute requiring operators to compensate surface owners, summarized with its citation under Surface damages above.
What changed
The June 2026 edition listed Oklahoma as Does not lapse, lapse period none. Release 2026.10 replaced that entry with the reviewed rule above, and retired the June risk score and ranking for every state. Release 2026.10.1 added the deceased or unlocated owner section. See all changes.
