How We Value Mineral Rights
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..
Highly productive wells (and off-set wells) can increase the value of your minerals.
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?
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.

There are a lot of companies doing this, so what sets Blue Mesa Minerals apart?
1. We close quickly - usually in 7-10 business days (depending on the seller's documents and how much due diligence we need to perform).
2. We are NOT trying to find the "suckers" and give them lowball offers. We strongly believe that a good deal is one in which both the buyer and the seller walk away happy.
3. We don't flip minerals. A lot of companies don't have the capital to make mineral purchases. When they find a seller, they scramble to flip it to a buyer. We don't do that. We have the cash to pay for all of our deals - that's why we are able to close quickly.
