LEASING YOUR MINERAL ASSET

Leasing your mineral asset is distinct from selling it. Many people confuse the two when with a lease versus a mineral deed. A lease is an agreement where an operator or drilling company seeks to extract for oil and gas development. This lease secures the acreage necessary to drill and develop for oil and gas well(s).

LEASING OR SELLING YOUR MINERALS

If you choose to work with us, our team will manage all negotiations for leasing or selling your mineral interest. We are committed to securing the best possible price for your sale and obtaining an excellent lease if you receive an oil and gas lease offer.

STEPS IN SELLING YOUR MINERAL ASSET 

STEP 1: We will analyze the size, shape, and location of your land/minerals, whether there is an existing lease on your property, the geology, DEP permits, DPU (Declaration of Pooling and Unitization recorded by the operator), any historic production, and/or if there are any production, nearby pipelines, and other factors.​

STEP 2: If you decide to accept an offer, ​we will execute to you a Purchase Sale Agreement (PSA).

STEP 3: Once the PSA is signed and returned, we will perform due diligence and/or title abstract up to forty five calendar days.

STEP 4: Once the due diligence and title is cleared, an oil and gas mineral deed will be executed for the mineral owner to sign and you will receive your cash payment after the signing of the deed.

We will take care of all abstracting, deed preparation, conveyance fees, and closing costs in the process.

 COMMON QUESTIONS MINERAL OWNERS ASK ABOUT THEIR MINERAL ASSET

Do Oil and Gas Royalties last forever

Many people assume oil and gas royalties will keep paying for a long time or last forever. Here is the truth. Production follows a sharp decline curve. Most shale wells in the U.S. produce 60% to 80% of their total output in the first three to four years, after which production slows significantly. So, while royalties may trickle in for years, the bulk of a well’s value is captured in the first five years.​

Can someone steal my minerals

Mineral rights are real property and are protected by strict property laws. Transfers must be in writing, notarized, and recorded with your county courthouse. This means it’s essentially impossible for someone to “take and/or steel” your minerals without your knowledge and consent.

Should I pass my minerals to the next generation

Passing mineral rights to your heirs can seem like a good idea, but it often leads to what's called "fractionalization." As these rights are split across generations, individual ownership shares become so small they may no longer provide meaningful income. If royalties are minimal, selling might be a better option than passing along fractions that require ongoing management and tax obligations.

Are my minerals priceless

Mineral rights possess inherent value that can be precisely measured. Through detailed and statistical analysis, we can calculate mineral values based on projected oil and gas production. Approach eliminates uncertainty, offering a clear understanding of a property's worth and establishing a solid foundation for informed decision-making.

Can I sell my minerals after I have leased the minerals

You certainty can sell your mineral asset after you have leased it to a drilling operator. You own your mineral asset and can diversify ALL, HALF or what ever your needs maybe. Leasing to an operator only gives the operator the right to develop, drill and pay you royalties. If you sell the minerals after you lease, the individual and/or investment company who purchases them will contact the operator and have the lease/ mineral estate transferred to the new ownership. ​​
