La. Stat. tit. 31 § 193
Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session
One who has the usufruct of a mineral right, as distinguished from the usufruct of land, is entitled to all of the benefits of use and enjoyment that would accrue to him if he were the owner of the right. He may, therefore, use the right according to its nature for the duration of his usufruct.
