Offer & Lease Review
You received a lease or purchase offer in the mail — or a landman knocked on your door. We review every clause for free, tell you what the document actually says, and tell you honestly whether the number is fair. Bonuses, royalty rates, deductions, Pugh clauses, extension options — we read the fine print so it can't be used against you.
- ✓Free initial review, no obligation
- ✓Every clause explained in plain language
- ✓Honest opinion on whether the offer is fair
Selling & Leasing Your Minerals
One buyer negotiating against nobody has no reason to pay market value. Whether you want to sell outright, lease, or explore both, we take your rights to our network of hundreds of qualified buyers and let them compete. You see the best available deal — and you make every decision.
- ✓Competitive process among qualified buyers
- ✓Sell all, sell part, or lease — structured your way
- ✓You accept or walk away; you owe nothing if no deal closes
Pipeline & Right-of-Way Negotiation
Pipelines, gathering lines, and access roads cross your property forever — and the first easement offer is written entirely in the company's favor. We negotiate the payment, the route, the width, and the restoration obligations, so a permanent easement doesn't become a permanent regret.
- ✓Per-foot and lump-sum payment negotiation
- ✓Route, width, and depth restrictions
- ✓Reclamation, timber damage, and access terms in writing
Compressor Station & Facility Agreements
Compressor stations, well pads, water impoundments, metering stations — anything an oil and gas company needs to place on your surface is negotiable. These facilities run for decades, with noise, traffic, and land taken out of use. We make sure the compensation and the protections match the burden.
- ✓Annual payments, not just one-time checks
- ✓Noise, lighting, and setback provisions
- ✓Removal and restoration obligations when operations end
Surface Use Protection
If you live on, farm, or hunt your land, what happens on the surface matters as much as what comes out from under it. We negotiate surface use agreements that restrict where operators can go, require notice before entry, protect water sources and timber, and put real money behind any damage they cause.
- ✓Defined disturbance areas and no-go zones
- ✓Water testing and protection provisions
- ✓Compensation for crop, timber, and surface damage
Timber Management
Many of the families we represent own timberland alongside their minerals. We help owners understand what their standing timber is worth, market it competitively to reputable buyers, and coordinate harvests — including when pipeline or pad construction would otherwise destroy merchantable timber without compensation.
- ✓Timber valuation and competitive sale
- ✓Damage claims when operations take timber
- ✓Harvest planning coordinated with land use
Mineral Rights Management
Owning minerals is an ongoing job: royalty statements to audit, division orders to verify, lease deadlines to track, operators changing hands. We manage mineral portfolios for families who want the income without the paperwork — and who want someone watching to make sure every check is right.
- ✓Royalty statement audits and underpayment recovery
- ✓Lease and deadline tracking
- ✓One point of contact for every operator question
Inherited Mineral Rights
Every week we hear from someone who inherited mineral rights and has no idea what they own, what it's worth, or what to do next. We help you confirm ownership through the county records, untangle old leases, understand any checks or letters you've received, and decide — calmly, with no pressure — what to do with what your family left you.
- ✓Ownership confirmation and title untangling
- ✓Old lease and royalty review
- ✓Clear options: hold, lease, sell, or manage
One fee model for everything we do
No upfront fees, no retainers, no hourly billing — no upfront money ever. We're only paid when you accept a sale or lease offer we negotiated for you, at closing, by the buyer or operator — not by you. If no deal closes, nobody owes anything. Our success is directly tied to yours.
