Estimate Mineral Rights Value in Texas

It can be difficult to impossible to estimate mineral rights value in Texas.   The reason is that there are many factors that play a role in the value.   However, there are some general ballpark estimates we can use to estimate mineral rights value.   It is important to point out that the estimates provided below are simply that, an estimate!  If you have an offer to sell mineral rights we can nearly always find you a higher price!

To estimate mineral rights value in Texas, you first need to determine what type of property you have.   Depending on the status of your property we will estimate mineral rights value in Texas differently.

Producing Mineral Rights Value in Texas

If you get a monthly royalty check you have producing mineral rights. One of the easiest ways to estimate value is based upon cash flow. The royalty income you get each month can be a good indication of the mineral rights value in Texas, but not always. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to sell mineral rights in Texas for 4 years to 6 years times the average monthly income. HOWEVER, please keep in mind many factors could cause your property to be worth more or less. Especially in Texas, producing oil and gas royalties can go for significantly more!

To estimate mineral rights value in Texas, simply take gather your last 3 months of check stubs. Then find the average amount you have received from the last 3 months. You can then plug your average monthly income into the calculator below:

Royalty Calculator

Keep in mind that this estimate is based on the royalty income only.  If more wells can be drilled on your property you may get offers significantly higher than this estimate.  If you have a higher offer to sell mineral rights do not simply accept the offer.   Make sure you are getting a fair offer to sell mineral rights by listing at US Mineral Exchange.

Leased Mineral Rights Value in Texas

If your mineral rights are currently leased, this means that that an oil and gas operator has identified your mineral rights as a possible target area for drilling new wells. While there is no guarantee a new well will be drilled, it is at least in an area where an operator sees future value. This is a good thing. With that said, we hear from many mineral owners that they have been leased for decades but no one has ever drilled a well on their mineral rights. This is not unusual but does impact the future value. When considering selling leased mineral rights that are not receiving royalty income, the general rule of thumb is approximately two to three times your last lease bonus. For example, if you were paid $1,000/acre to lease your mineral rights and you are not receiving royalty income, you could expect to sell for $2,000 to 3,000/acre.

Non-Producing Mineral Rights Value in Texas

If your mineral rights are not leased or producing you have non-producing mineral rights. Unfortunately if you have non-producing mineral rights there will typically be little to no value. As a general rule of thumb, the value for non-producing mineral rights will nearly always be less than $1,000/acre. In most cases, the mineral rights value in Texas for non-producing minerals will be $0 to $250, but producing minerals – $25,000+ per acre is not unusual. It really depends on how long ago you were leased or if you have current offers. The reason non-producing mineral rights don’t have much value is because the upside is very low. A mineral rights buyer could purchase the mineral rights but then be stuck holding them for years with no return on investment.

Offer to Sell Mineral Rights?

Do you have an offer to sell mineral rights in Texas?  If so, be cautious accepting an offer until you know it represents fair market value.  While an offer can be a good indication of mineral rights value in Texas, there is nearly always a better price available.   We see a lot of mineral owners make a common mistake.  They gather up a few offers using the shotgun approach and then quickly sell below market value.   Before you sell below market value consider listing mineral rights at US Mineral Exchange to ensure you sell for maximum value.
