FAQ’s About Buying and Selling Oil & Gas Mineral Rights
Here are the most common question about mineral rights. See our FAQ page for more questions and anwers.
What are mineral rights?
Ownership of mineral rights (or “mineral interests”) is an interest in real property. It is the right of the property owner to exploit, mine, and/or produce any or all of the minerals lying below the surface of the property. These are often leased from the mineral owner by an oil or gas company to potentially drill for oil or gas. If oil or gas is found, the payment the mineral owner receives is a “royalty.”
What are royalties?
The payment made to a mineral owner for their interest in oil, gas, or other items of value mined from their mineral interests.

How do you make money when you buy my mineral rights?
We are long-term investors who accept the many risks for many years to see a positive return on the purchase. What’s important in the short term is that you feel comfortable that you’re getting a fair deal from a trusted buyer. If you have questions about the oil and gas royalty evaluation, ask!
Will I have to pay taxes on the sale of my mineral rights?
Yes, you will have to pay federal and, in some cases, state taxes. However, these are generally capital gains taxes, so they are taxed at a lower rate. Please consult your tax accountant for more detailed information.
I don’t know what I own or where to start. What should I do?
Give us a call; we’ll help you figure it out. Of course, there is no obligation to sell your mineral rights, so feel free to utilize our expertise to assist with your situation.
What is an oil and gas lease?
In simplest terms, leasing your minerals gives permission to the leasing company to look for, and potentially extract and sell the oil and gas. The lease will have terms and a royalty rate. The lease rate, or royalty rate, is your share of the oil and gas, if and when they are extracted, processed, and sold. Leases can expire, and alternatively, leases from years ago may still be valid. Leases are legal documents, so each one requires a signature.
Do I have to sell all my minerals?
No. You do not have to sell all your minerals. If you decide to sell, you can sell all of your interests or portions, which can be determined by percentages or acres.
