An oil well is seen at dawn near Dacono, Colorado in this July 12, 2006 file photo. The Denver-Julesburg basin oil field near Denver stretches from Wyoming. Divided ownership of land above and below ground -- known as split estates -- has deep roots in the American West, where the federal government offered cheap land to settlers and railroad companies but often kept subsurface rights. Today, the government manages 700 million acres (280 million hectares) of mineral rights. On 58 million of those acres, mostly in the West, others own the rights to the surface.
