A mineral deed is a document that transfers ownership of the right to harvest minerals, or the right to receive payments from the mining of minerals. However, a mineral deed only controls the subsurface rights and cannot control legal access to the surface of the land.
As a general rule, mineral rights attach to land and are transferred automatically with the conveyance of property, unless the property deed excludes them or indicates otherwise.
To determine if you own the mineral rights on a parcel, you will first need to check the deed. The mineral rights may have been severed from the surface at some point in time. If your deed does not list this information, you will need to contact the County Clerk in the county where your minerals are located.
Unless you also own the minerals under your land, that someone might have every right to start drilling. In the United States, mineral rights can be sold or conveyed separately from property rights. As a result, owning a piece of land does not necessarily mean you also own the rights to the minerals beneath it.
Conduct a title deed search at the county records office to find the owner history in the title deed. Follow the history of the property through the chain of owners. This can tell you whether the property or land was ever owned by an oil and gas company.

If you want to sell the mineral rights to a family member or friend, one (or both) of you will need to hire an attorney to draft the deed. Once the deed has been docHubd, the original must be recorded in the county where the minerals are located.
You need to consult a California oil and gas title attorney as that is a specialized question requiring knowledge of California law. That attorney can help you file documents required to transfer title from your grandfather through all the owners to you.
