If you are currently receiving royalty payments, you own producing mineral rights<\/strong> and you have a strong starting point for estimating their value. There is more to it than that, but here you have actual numbers to use as a foundation for estimating your mineral rights value.<\/p>\nIn general, mineral rights in Texas sell for about 4 to 6 years\u2019 worth of average monthly royalty income. Other factors can raise or lower that amount, but the good news is that Texas generally commands strong mineral pricing because of its high production levels, extensive infrastructure, and active drilling environment.<\/p>\n
Why? Because Texas, particularly the Permian Basin, produces more oil and natural gas, not only than any other state, it produces more than many OPEC+ nations. As a result, buyer demand in the Permian, as well as in the Eagle Ford and other producing basins in Texas, is often significantly stronger than in other basins.<\/p>\n
Also, because of this prolific production, Texas hosts significant numbers of companies who can drill and service wells. It is home to many pipelines ready to deliver oil and gas to market.<\/p>\n
In other words, everything is in place to make oil and natural gas wells profitable very quickly in Texas. The combination of higher production, infrastructure and operator activity supports stronger mineral values in Texas.<\/p>\n
