Section 31:164 - Creation of mineral servitude by co-owner of land

A co-owner of land may create a mineral servitude out of his undivided interest in the land, and prescription commences from the date of its creation. One who acquires a mineral servitude from a co-owner of land shall not exercise his right without the consent of co-owners owning at least an undivided seventy-five percent interest in the land, provided that the servitude owner has made every effort to contact the co-owners and, if contacted, has offered to contract with them on substantially the same basis that the servitude owner has contracted with another co-owner. A co-owner of the land who does not consent to the exercise of the rights has no liability for the costs of development and operations, except out of his share of production.
