Baker III Institute for Public Policy: <a href="http://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/oilfield-produced-water-ownership-texas-balancing-surface-owners-rights-and-mineral-owners-commercia/">http://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/oilfield-produced-water-ownership-texas-balancing-surface-owners-rights-and-mineral-owners-commercia/</a>.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/94089Under long-established Texas law, the surface estate owner clearly owns oilfield produced water. However, the law does not address how, if at all, the producer would need to split revenues with the surface owner for a sale or a for-value transfer of produced water. Fellow Gabe Collins analyzes the ambiguity related to revenues from this commodity and discusses potential transaction structures for produced water in Texas.engResearch paper
