How We Value Mineral Rights
There are a lot of factors that play into the value of mineral rights. These include location, producing vs non-producing properties, current oil and gas prices, well production figures, lease terms, and even the operator of the well or wells. We also look at the risks of buying and owning minerals that you are interested in selling.
Minerals in the hottest shale plays are more valuable than those in older fields with conventional wells.
Producing minerals are worth more than non-producing minerals because they are generating revenue.
When oil and gas prices drop, revenue drops, and sometimes operators are unable to continue operations..
Favorable lease terms (such as a 25% royalty) favorably impact the value of the leased minerals.
A small number of operators are unethical, and their reputation automatically devalues your minerals.
Why Sell?
People sell mineral rights for a variety of reasons. As a mineral owner, you are fortunate to own an asset that can be quickly converted to cash. It is advisable to sell while you are still receiving royalties - after all, oil and gas are finite resources and all well eventually run dry. It's better to sell early and maximize the value.
Why People Sell Their Minerals Rights:
With the price of oil declining and operators practically giving gas away, I decided to sell before the bottom falls out.
I am on a fixed income, and the sale of these minerals will help me secure stable housing. My children will be okay if even if they don't inherit these minerals.
My oil wells have been producing for decades and the reserves are almost depleted. Once the wells are plugged, the value will be significantly lower. I'd rather cash out now.
I inherited mineral rights, but don't want to be involved with fracking and fossil fuels. I would prefer to support renewable energy and do my part to reverse climate change.
Although everyone says, "Never sell your minerals", my daughter needs a series of costly life-saving medical treatments. There are exceptions to every rule.

How do you determine the offer amount?
We perform an in-depth analysis of your mineral rights based on the location of your interest, production history, current oil and gas prices, operator, and lease terms. This data allows us to forecast the future revenue of each well to determine the fair market value of your interest.
Do all mineral rights lose value over time?
Yes. Oil and gas are finite resources, and all petroleum reservoirs will eventually be depleted, some faster than others. Additional wells can temporarily increase royalty income. However, as technology advances and operators pull oil and gas from the ground faster, decline curves accelerate, shortening the productive life of a well.
A lot of mineral owners choose to sell their minerals while the value is still high., in order to receive a larger lump sum of money. That money can be invested in other ways, used to improve your lifestyle (new car, new house, remodel, vacation, wedding, solar panels, or any number of other options).

What about the advice, "Never sell your minerals"?
"Never sell your minerals." Most of us have heard this sage advice again and again. But the reality is that many people do sell their minerals and they sell for a variety of reasons, including:
- Provide a more comfortable retirement
- Buy a house, car, vacation home, etc.
- Pay medical bills
- Exchange dwindling royalty payments for a lump sum that can be invested elsewhere
- Avoid leaving complicated estates to heirs - especially if they would not make good mineral managers
- Socially or politically opposed to financially benefiting from fossil fuels
- Place solar panels on their roofs
We don't pressure anyone to sell their minerals. Selling mineral rights is a very personal, and sometimes emotional choice. We give you information so you can make the right choice for your situation.
We strongly believe that a good deal is one in which both the buyer and the seller walk away happy.

What raises the value of my mineral rights?
The following factors will increase the value of your mineral rights:
- Clear title
- Permitted wells onsite
- Newer wells (but not too new)
- Flatter decline curve
- Favorable terms in lease
- High oil and gas prices
- Operator with a good reputation
What lowers the value of my mineral rights?
Here are some of the following factors that can decrease the value of your mineral rights:
- Title Problems
- Non-producing minerals
- Property that is held by production (HBP) by low-producing wells
- Leases that hold excessive non-producing acreage
- Steep decline curves
- Poor offset production (for non-producing properties)
- Low oil and gas prices
- Operator with a bad reputation
- Leases that allow operators to have free use of oil and gas
I'm not sure I want to sell ALL of my interest. Can I sell part of it?
Absolutely. You can sell any percentage of your mineral rights (it is common to sell 50%). You can even sell the royalty interest and keep your mineral interest. Selling only the royalty interest is a way to get a lump sum of money now and still keep the mineral interest in your family.
