If the land is severed between surface and mineral  ownership, the owner of 
the mineral rights may lease the land for  drilling.  The lessee then has 
the right to drill on the property, but must  negotiate and settle with the 
surface owner for whatever damages are inflicted  on the property.  In most 
areas where there has been much drilling, this  amount is usually 
predetermined.  Leases normally contain a provision  that the lessee cannot drill 
within a designated distance from an abode.   Lessee must also maintain roads, 
etc.

Hey  Guys,

Here in Arizona few people have mineral rights
to any of their  properties,
Knowing this could someone with the mineral rights to otherwise  YOUR 
property
drive a shaft or drift or something
right under your house  and you could do nothing about it ??

I talked to  the father of an ex-student that owns an oil drilling 
company in this  area. He said that YouTube had a piece on the 
Pennsylvanian NBC News bit  that claimed that the problem pictured 
showing gas on top of the water  existed before the 
fracking/hydrofracturing/fracing ever started.  He  confirmed my belief 
that this procedure was a common practice in southern  Illinois for years 
(maybe not with horizontal drilling). If you don't have  an up-to--date 
knowledge about oil/gas well drilling, I would urge you to  spend some 
time looking through YouTube. I spent about 2 hours and it was  worth 
every minute. I started using the word,  fracking, which led to  the 
other topics listed above as well as underbalanced and overbalanced  
drilling and blowouts.There are interesting bits about New York State,  
Pennsylvania and Texas. Don't be discouraged by the antidrilling-group  
bits you have to pass  over.
