Net Mineral Acre

Non-PRO English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci Mineral Leasing
Hi All,

I'm translating a text about a mineral lease in a town and it explains the benefits for the land owners, it says that they will receive $1000 per net mineral acre, could it be "$1000 por acres de mineral neto"? Net is refering to mineral? This option in Spanish appears only once in Google.

Thanks!

Belén

Sergio Campo Apr 4, 2011:
I agree with you re the use of acre in singular. However, I do not think there is any ambiguity here. Net in this context refers only to acre. Net (mineral) acreage gives a measure of the mineral interest of each landowner in a shared property.

I think your translation is fine except $1000 por acre de mineral neto, with acre in the singular. The neto could refer to either acre or mineral in both languages so preserve the ambiguity.

acres netos (de derechos minerales)

Neto aquí se refiere a acre. Acres netos son la medida del área sobre la cual una empresa o particular tiene derechos de explotación. Es decir, si cuatro empresas compran al 25% un area de eplotacion de 1 millon de acres, se dice que cada una de ellas posee 250.000 acres netos de derechos minerales (aunque en realidad lo que posse es una participación sobre un terreno que en total tiene 1 millon de acres).

neutral FVS (X) : No, this should be singular, XX per acre.

Tienes razón. El término que consta en la pregunta es "net mineral acre" y la traducción debería ser "acre neto", en singular. Es decir, la traducción de "$1000 per net mineral acre" sería "1000 dólares por acre neto". Gracias.
