6 Things That Set Us Apart

We aren't going to tell you that we are the only ethical and honest mineral buyers in town because it simply isn't true. There are lots of reputable buyers. Here's what really sets us apart:

I'm not a landman. I don't have an MBA. I'm entirely self taught and I started out like you - I inherited mineral rights and later started buying them.

We aren't backed by private equity or venture captial. We are entirely self-funded, using the royalties we earn to buy more mineral rights. We are spending our own money - not someone else's!

Blue Mesa Minerals is a woman-owned business. Our Founder and President is a woman, and you don't see many women in the mineral acquisition space.

Most mineral buyers turn away small minerals because of the time and cost involved. We welcome small mineral owners and treat them the same as someone with much more valuable minerals.

We don't flip mineral rights. We keep what we buy and use the royalties to buy more minerals.

Our goal is to educate mineral owners so we provide graphs, maps, and background info with each offer. We want you to know what you're selling!

We know minerals are deeply woven into your family history. We love to hear your stories and incorporate them into ours!

Testimonials

See what these formal mineral owners say
about their experience with Blue Mesa Minerals.

  • "My small mineral rights came with stories and sentiments that far exceeded their monetary value. Danna understood both sides of the transaction, providing me with the documentation, perspective, and time I needed to make the best decision for me and my family. I had a million questions, and she addressed each one with professional care. Danna is a joy to work with, and I highly recommend her exceptional services."

    Beckie B.

  • "Oklahoma minerals have been in my family for 100 years, and as an Ohio resident unfamiliar with the industry I felt the time had come to sell. But how? I found BlueMesaMinerals on U-tube and Danna's informational videos instructive, so I contacted her. I provided copies of documents for her to research which resulted in her offer to buy. Her offer I felt was fair, very detailed as to production and revenue, with location maps included to support her analysis. Danna was a pleasure to "do business" with - an excellent communicator of details and process, prompt responses to emails and phone calls. Thank you Danna!"

    Paula M.

  • I am immensely pleased with the process of selling my inherited royalty properties to Blue Mesa Minerals. Danna made the transaction easy and fast with quick responses on all communication and quick payment to close out the deal. My headache with managing these mineral interests and dealing with tax filings is now gone for good. HOORAY! Thank you Danna Blumeneau. Highly recommended.

    Kelly M.

  • "I am so glad I contacted this company to see if they would be interested in making an offer on my mineral rights. Danna helped me from start to finish. She provided me with honest and informative answers to my never-ending questions, and made the process a lot less stressful for me. I am so thankful! I highly recommend this company."

    Miranda D.

  • "Danna was so helpful when I recently reached out to her for help with some inherited mineral rights we had considered selling. She even contacted some possible buyers for us as she was not interested in purchasing our rights. We ended up not striking a deal but she gave me an honest professional opinion and advice for any future lease or sale opportunities. Danna also directed me to helpful websites to keep up with current production and drilling information in the two Oklahoma counties we own right in. If you need help with mineral rights contact Blue Mesa Minerals, you will not be sorry!"

Fair Valuations

Both the buyer and the seller should be getting a fair deal - with neither party receiving the "short end of the stick". Both parties should walk away happy.

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.

Learn More

Producing minerals are worth more than non-producing minerals because they are generating revenue.

Learn More

When oil and gas prices drop, revenue drops, and sometimes operators are unable to continue operations..

Learn More

Highly productive wells (and off-set wells) can increase the value of your minerals.

Learn More

Favorable lease terms (such as a 25% royalty) favorably impact the value of the leased minerals.

Learn More

A small number of operators are unethical, and their reputation automatically devalues your minerals.

Mineral Rights Value Calculator

Please enter your last three royalty checks to calculate the approximate value:

$0.00 - $0.00

* This calculator has limited functionality and assumes the well or wells have been producing for more than 18 months. It does not take into account location, production, lease terms, commodity price, operator, or future development potential. Please contact us to get a custom quote on your specific 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. With each passing generation, mineral rights are further fractioned, leaving most of the 12.6 million mineral owners with a very small interest. Many owners choose to sell because their minerals have become too fractioned, heirs aren't interested, they don't want to support fossil fuels, or because they would rather have a lump sum payment now. 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 and 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.L. Edwards

With the price of oil declining and operators practically giving gas away, I decided to sell before the bottom falls out.J. Cruz

I am one of the millions who lost their job due to the COVID-19 lockdown. I sold my minerals to get me through this terrible time. If my grandmother could see our current situation, she would understand. I'm so grateful to have had minerals to sell. Many people don't have this option.S Barnes

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.R. Robertson

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.P. Harris
