ACQUISITION SCOPE

What Types of Mineral Interests We Acquire

We evaluate all varieties of subsurface rights regardless of fractured family co-tenancy or unprobated estates.

INTEREST 01

Producing Mineral & Royalty Rights

Tracts with active producing oil or gas wells paying monthly checks. We purchase entire interests or fractional shares, immediately converting future variable production into upfront cash liquidity.

INTEREST 02

Overriding Royalty Interests (ORRI)

Carved-out revenue interests created by geologists, landmen, or operators. We buy ORRIs on existing production or permitted units, eliminating lease expiration and operator default risks for the holder.

INTEREST 03

Non-Participating Royalty Interests (NPRI)

Royalty entitlements created in historic family deeds without leasing rights. We price and acquire NPRIs cleanly, resolving complex multi-generational title splits.

INTEREST 04

Unprobated Estates & Missing Wills

Minerals stuck in deceased ancestors' names with no probate filed. Our landmen examine courthouse deed records, prepare statutory Affidavits of Heirship, and buy your fractional interest directly.

INTEREST 05

Leased Non-Producing Minerals

Minerals under active oil and gas lease awaiting horizontal drilling. We evaluate the operator's drilling schedule, active permits, and nearby offset well production to make a competitive cash offer.

INTEREST 06

Unleased Open Minerals

Tracts where the minerals are completely unleased and unencumbered. We purchase unleased mineral rights directly or assist in structuring favorable lease terms.

SUBTERRANEAN GEOLOGY & MULTI-BENCH RESERVOIRS

Evaluating Deep Stacked-Pay Mineral Value

When pricing mineral rights, we look far beyond current monthly check stubs. In major resource plays like the Permian, Anadarko, and Haynesville, a single tract can host five to ten distinct hydrocarbon formations.

Our landmen examine drilling permits, operator spacing units, and future horizontal inventory so you receive full fair value for both producing horizons and undeveloped potential.

OWNER FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Minerals

A Net Royalty Acre is the universal standard metric used by mineral buyers and operators to compare mineral tracts that have different lease royalty rates. The formula is: NRA = Net Mineral Acres × (Lease Royalty / 0.125). For example, owning 10 Net Mineral Acres leased at a 1/4th (25%) royalty equals 20 Net Royalty Acres because it generates twice the cashflow of a traditional 1/8th lease.

No. If you own both the surface and minerals, you can sell only the subsurface oil and gas rights while keeping 100% of your surface acreage, house, barns, and pasture. We routinely include explicit surface protection clauses ensuring your surface remains protected.

Monthly royalty checks are generally taxed at higher ordinary income rates. In contrast, selling long-held mineral rights typically qualifies for favorable Long-Term Capital Gains tax rates. If you inherited the minerals, you may also qualify for a stepped-up tax basis under IRC ยง 1014. Always consult your CPA for specific tax advice.

Once we agree on price and verify the county courthouse runsheet, closing occurs via a formal Mineral Deed. Funds are disbursed directly to you via bank wire or cashier's check upon execution. We pay all county recording fees and handle the operator division order transfer filings.

This is our specialty. Our landmen pull the deed history, draft the necessary Affidavits of Heirship, obtain signatures, and record the instruments in the county courthouse at zero out-of-pocket cost to you.
