What does not include a land owner's sub surface rights?

  1. Rights to drill at a slant onto a neighbor's property for oil and gas

  2. Rights to minerals found beneath the earth's surface

  3. Rights to natural resources located underground

  4. Rights to water found in underground aquifers

The correct answer is: Rights to drill at a slant onto a neighbor's property for oil and gas

Slant drilling refers to the practice of drilling a well at an angle in order to access oil and gas reserves underneath a neighboring property. This right is not included in a land owner's sub surface rights. B, C, and D are all incorrect because they refer to minerals, natural resources, and water found beneath the earth's surface, which are all typically included in sub surface rights.
