It depends on your situation. Selling can make sense if you want a lump sum instead of unpredictable royalty checks, if you're managing an inherited interest split among many family members, if you're simplifying an estate, or if you'd rather invest the money elsewhere. Holding can make sense if you're receiving strong royalties from active wells or new drilling is imminent. We're happy to talk through your specific situation with no obligation — and we'll give you an honest read either way.

We look at where your minerals are located, whether they're leased or held by production, current and historical production from wells on or near your property, the operators active in the area, and recent permitting and drilling activity. When we make an offer, we'll explain the reasoning behind the number.

Mineral rights are ownership of the oil and gas beneath the land — including the right to lease and collect bonus payments. A royalty interest is the right to a share of production revenue. Many owners have both. We purchase both, and we can help you figure out exactly what you own.

A pooling notice means an operator plans to drill a well in your section and is asking the Commission to combine ("pool") all the mineral interests so drilling can proceed. You'll typically be given options — lease terms or participation. It also means your minerals may be more valuable right now. If you'd like, send us your notice and we'll explain your options in plain English, free of charge.

No. We pay for all title work, document preparation, recording fees, and closing costs. There are no commissions or hidden charges. The offer amount is what you receive.

From signed agreement to payment is typically 10-30 days, depending on how quickly title work can be completed in your county. We'll keep you updated at every step.

We buy interests of all sizes. Small fractional interests — especially inherited ones — are often more hassle than they're worth to manage, and we're glad to make offers on them.
