Utah Mineral Rights Map


In Utah, most of the oil and gas development is in the north-eastern part of the state, in the Uinta Basin located in Uinta, Duchesne, and Carbon Counties. Duchesne produces oil while Uintah and Carbon counties produce natural gas.

According to ShaleXP, Utah ranks 12th for oil and gas production in the United States with over 10,000 wells that produce 1.11% of national daily oil and 0.71% of daily natural gas. Utah's hydrocarbon production is minuscule compared with Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and other oil and gas producing states.

The top 5 oil and gas producing counties in Utah are:

  • 1. Duchesne County
  • 2. Uintah County
  • 3. San Juan County
  • 4. Carbon County
  • 5. Sevier County

Utah Federal Oil & Gas Leases


The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages 42% of the land in Utah. In fact, most of the oil and gas development takes place on federal land or land that is pooled with federal land. This means that Utah mineral owners are heavily impacted by the Biden administration's recent ban on federal drilling.

Utah is one of a dozen states suing the Biden administration over the ban. Even if they are successful in overturning it (or gaining an exception), the anti-drilling sentiment is growing among the US population, and it seems likely that these types of regulations will continue.

Regardless, it is still possible to sell your producing Utah mineral rights. Non-producing minerals will be more difficult to sell because of the federal drilling ban.

Locating Your Utah Mineral Rights


You can look up your Utah mineral rights using the BLM's Utah Interactive Map or the Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil, Gas and Mining's (UDOGM) interactive GIS map.

Each state has a different GIS map, and some are easier to use than others. Fortunately, Utah's GIS map is very easy to use. You can look up a well that appears on your royalty statement or the legal description on your deed.

Need help? Contact us, and we can usually look it up for you. We use these tools all the time, so they are second nature.

What We Buy


We buy 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).

Mineral Interest (MI)

Mineral Interest (MI) owners have the right to explore, develop, and produce the minerals below the surface of a tract of land, including the right to enter into a lease.

Request an Offer

Royalty Interest (RI)

Royalty Interest (RI) includes the right to receive revenue from well production free of the obligation to pay for drilling or operational expenses.

Request an Offer

Non-Participating Royalty Interest (NPRI)

Non-Participating Royalty Interest (NPRI) includes rights to oil and gas production revenue but no rights to participate in executing the lease.

Request an Offer

Overriding Royalty Interest (ORRI)

Overriding Royalty Interest (ORRI) is an interest in the proceeds from the sale of minerals rather than an interest in the actual minerals.

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. 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 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

My parents owned a tiny interest in 80+ wells, and, as the Trustee for their estate, the minerals were a total nightmare to manage (between taxes and frequent operator changes). It definitely didn't earn enough to justify the time! I was happy to sell them.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
