Lease & offer review
Know what it is worth before you sign
A landman's written opinion of the bonus, the royalty, and the clauses that matter — priced from what the wells around you actually make — and then, if you want, we negotiate it for you. No real-estate license is needed to negotiate minerals in Texas, and none of our fee comes from the other side.
A lease offer
What we check
- Bonus per net acre against recent leases in the survey
- Royalty fraction and the cost-free clause
- Primary term, shut-in, continuous-drilling, Pugh and depth clauses
- Pooling and the unit size the operator intends
- Who the lessee really is, and what they operate nearby
An offer to buy
What we check
- What your interest earned in the last twelve months, by well
- Permits already approved under or beside your tract that the buyer knows about
- How the offer compares to the cash flow it would take
- What a sale would do to the family's other interests
- Whether you should sell any of it at all
The plat does the first part for free: draw your tract and look at the red circles — those are the wells coming that the buyer can already see.
