Common Questions from Mineral Owners
Ultimately, our clients make the decision whether or not to sell based on their own unique situation and goals. Here are a few reasons others have chosen to sell their mineral and royalty interests:
Our team has drilled and operated wells all over the United States from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Alaska. While we buy minerals and royalty interests all over, our primary focus and area of expertise are in the Rockies and Bakken regions.
If a company is going to follow through on its commitment to provide clients with timely, aggressive offers that can be closed quickly, we've found that we just can't be all things to all people. Other mineral buying companies might try to sell you on the idea of how their "portfolio approach" allows them to pay top dollar for minerals and royalties anywhere and everywhere because their risks are diversified. We're just not buying it. The truth is that just about every mineral buying company takes a portfolio approach and diversifies its risks – albeit some more than others. But at the end of the day, it isn't cheap to staff up and be an expert in all areas of the country. It's been our experience that so-called countrywide experts have high costs (which translates to lower offers) or service suffers, and the process takes too long because they're spread too thin. We won't compromise the quality of our work and our commitment to you.
It's pretty common for folks to use these terms interchangeably, but there are major differences between the two (Industry Jargon). When one owns a mineral interest, they are entitled to negotiate and execute a lease, receive lease bonuses, shut-in payments, royalties and other payments, and the right to transfer some or all of their rights to others. On the other hand, a royalty interest is simply a right to receive a share of the production. It is an interest in the proceeds from the sale of oil and gas minerals, but not the minerals themselves.
Absolutely. Of course, each type of interest has value, but different considerations and approaches in determining that value. We'll still focus on getting you the best number in a timely, professional manner.
Yes. This is common. We will walk you through all the steps and do the work.
Whether you choose to sell to us or not, you pay nothing.
