Property rights are not rights to a common resource. Some mineral rights can be, but management of mineral rights (including gas) commonly fall under government supervision with any benefits (i.e. money) of use of the rights apportioned appropriately among all rights holders. Water rights, with seniority, are not so apportioned.
