We realize that it can be daunting to understand the process of divesting your mineral rights. Our team of experienced geologists, engineers, and principal partners are here to make the process as seamless and straightforward as possible.

There are several factors which we consider when evaluating your mineral rights. Rest assured that we will keep your best interests at heart and will appraise your property in the fairest and most ethical manner possible.

Below we have listed some of the variables that come into play when determining how much your mineral interests are worth:

Commodity Price

Naturally, the market prices of oil & gas are strong drivers of value, particularly if your acreage is already producing. Changes in the energy futures market (indicating the expected prices of oil & gas in the future) can also influence value.

Production Volumes

If your acreage has been drilled, production volumes from the active well(s) drive a major component of value.  They also provide the best evidence for what future wells are likely to produce.

Operator

If your acreage is leased and has an undeveloped component, the operators holding the lease will drive a component of the value. Some operators develop aggressively, while others do not.

Location

If your acreage has an undeveloped component, its location can give a strong indication of the probable subterraneous reserves as well as an indication of future drilling prospects.

Property Size

Large tracts of contiguous acreage are often particularly attractive to operators due to the propensity for horizontal drilling. Horizontal drilling potential commands a healthy premium during evaluation.
