Building Value From the Ground Up

How do I sell my oil and gas interest?

Start with a conversation. Tell us where your interest is and send whatever paperwork you have: a deed, lease, assignment, division order, JIB or check stub.

We confirm your ownership in the county records, then value the interest. Our valuation looks at current production and decline, nearby permits and drilling activity, operator development plans, and the terms of any existing lease.

We then present a written offer and walk you through how we arrived at it. We buy for our own account, so you deal with the buyer directly and not a broker. Offers are free and carry no obligation.

Why sell?

A sale turns years of uneven royalty checks into one lump-sum payment now. Owners also sell to:

• Get paid up front. Royalty income rises and falls with prices, production decline and operator schedules. A sale locks in the value today.
• Cut the paperwork. Division orders, 1099s, ad valorem and severance taxes, and tracking small interests across operators and counties all go away.
• Possible tax advantages. Minerals are real property. Proceeds from a sale held more than a year are often taxed at long-term capital gains rates, while royalties are taxed as ordinary income. Ask your tax advisor how this applies to you.
• Simplify an estate. Settle an estate, divide an inheritance cleanly, or fund other investments.
