Price of oil stagnates

When the price of oil stagnates it can create issues for mineral owners.  The price of oil settled up 1.7% last week to end at $45.70.  Oil started the year by dropping quickly over the first few months.  Around March mineral owners started to notice a sharp decline in royalty checks.  Over the following few months oil was able to stage a come back.  Oil bounced to around $60/barrel.  This provided mineral owners with a temporary relief and put a few more dollars in their pocket.

Fast forward to today and price have been hovering around $45 after the dropped from $60/barrel.   This leaves mineral owners who rely on their royalties in an uncomfortable position.   The royalty checks you were receiving at the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015 have gone down significantly.   This decline is a direct result of the price of oil.  When the price of oil stagnates at lower levels it can be harmful to your royalty checks.
