What selling a producing interest means

Selling a producing mineral interest generally means the buyer would receive the future economic interest being transferred after the sale. You keep any payments attributable to production before the effective date, as set out in the purchase documents.

Sell or keep the royalties?

Some owners prefer to continue receiving royalty income. Others would rather exchange uncertain future payments for a lump sum today. Royalty income fluctuates with commodity prices, production declines over time, and future development is never guaranteed.

The right decision depends on your financial goals, the quality of the mineral interest and the offer being considered. We can review the interest so you have information to consider.
