What We Buy
Blue Mesa Minerals buys mineral interest (MI), royalty interest (RI), non-participating royalty interest (NPRI), or overriding royalty interest (ORRI). The only type of mineral rights that we don't buy is working interest (WI). We acquire mineral rights from individuals, trusts, and non-profit organizations that would rather focus on their core mission than mineral management.
Where We Buy
We buy producing minerals from most of the oil and gas producing states.
We buy both producing and non-producing minerals in all oil and gas states. However, we are especially interested in Texas and Kansas mineral rights.

How We Value Mineral Rights
There are many 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.

Mineral Rights Value
What are your mineral rights worth?
Mineral rights are typically valued as a multiple of monthly revenue. Unless the well or wells are very new or about to be plugged, the rule of thumb is 3-5 years of revenue. Whether the value is closer to the 3-year mark or the 5-year mark will depend on a variety of factors, such as location, production volume, commodity prices, lease terms, operator, and likelihood for future drilling.
Non-producing mineral rights can be valued by multiplying the number of net mineral acres (NMA) that you own by the going lease rate, which is often the lease bonus.
The best way to determine the value of your mineral rights is to request a quote. Requesting a quote does NOT obligate you to sell.

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:
I am putting my affairs in order. I don't want to burden my kids with the hassle of transferring ownership and managing small mineral rights. When my sister passed away, my niece and nephew had to hire an attorney to help them with the minerals. I don't want my kids to go through that.
I inherited my mineral rights so they were sentimental, but I don't really want to bother with managing them and filing extra tax returns. I decided to sell and use the money as a down payment on my house.
I had no idea how fast the oil production would decline. My checks are only 20% of what they were a few years ago. I should have sold my mineral rights when the wells were brand new and still generating huge royalties.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Selling your minerals is a big decision. We're here to help answer your questions so you can make an informed choice.
How long does it take to sell my mineral rights and receive a lump-sum payment?
The short answer is that we strive to give you an offer within 48 hours. However, it typically takes about a week to 10 days to close (assuming you have a clear title and can provide the relevant documents).
Once you request an offer (via phone or the online form), we will contact you for any additional information or supporting documents.
We are usually able to extend an offer within 48 hours.
If you decide to sell your mineral rights, we will conduct detailed due diligence and perform a title search to verify your ownership.
Once the due diligence is done, we will draft the dees or assignments, and we will be ready to close. The closing process is simple, and you will be paid the same day you sign the deed.

How do you determine the offer amount?
We perform an in-depth analysis of your mineral rights based on the location of your mineral rights, production history, current oil and gas prices, operator, lease terms and potential for future drilling. 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.
Many mineral owners choose to sell their minerals while the value is still high. 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 down debt or become debt-free
- 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
- Pay bills while unemployed
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 lease terms
- High oil and gas prices
- Operator with a good reputation
- Potential for additional wells
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
- Poor economy
- Global pandemic that reduces the deman for energy
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.
Who is Blue Mesa Minerals?
Blue Mesa Minerals is a mineral rights acquisition company. We buy oil and gas royalties and mineral rights throughout the United States but specialize in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
There are a lot of companies that buy minerals, so what sets Blue Mesa Minerals apart?
1. 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.
2. We don't flip minerals. A lot of companies don't have the capital to make mineral purchases. So 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 can close quickly.
3. We are self-funded. We do not seek venture capital or private equity funding. We use our royalties to buy more minerals. That means we aren't beholden to anyone and we can make our own decisions. It also means our company is strong and will be around for decades to come. We are in this for the long run despite the oil booms and busts and the transition to renewable energy.
3. We close quickly - usually in 7-10 business days (depending on the seller's documents and how much due diligence we need to perform).
