MINERAL & ROYALTY TRANSACTIONS, HANDLED PRIVATELY
Maybe you inherited mineral rights. Maybe the royalty checks are shrinking. Or maybe someone already made an offer that does not feel quite right. Start with a private conversation and see what is possible.
PROSPER MARKET INTELLIGENCE
Follow energy prices, research operators and permits, and review current industry developments before deciding what comes next.
A MORE THOUGHTFUL WAY TO SELL
Mineral ownership can carry family history, financial uncertainty, and questions no generic buyer letter answers. We start by understanding your situation, then review the property privately.
A county, state, and the best way to reach you are enough to begin. No need to have every document ready.
We consider ownership, production, operator activity, nearby drilling, lease terms, and current market conditions.
If the opportunity is a fit, we explain your options: sell everything, sell a portion, or keep your minerals.
PROSPER ROYALTY CALCULATOR
This estimate represents 1 net mineral acre in one 400-acre unit with 1 producing well. Choose gross royalty without deductions or net royalty after deductions, then adjust the ownership and production assumptions to update your 20-year PV-20 valuation.
Your estimated royalty after lease deductions.
Approximately 4 months of accrued net royalties.
Estimated net royalties from the first 12 months.
Total projected net royalties before discounting.
Production volumes are annual amounts for each well. Natural gas uses 1.25 MMBtu per MCF, and current oil, gas, and NGL prices are applied automatically.
Estimated present value of 20 years of projected net royalties after modeled post-production deductions at an annual 20% discount rate. Each well is assumed to match the entered per-well production and share the same unit. Actual offers depend on property-specific review.

1,333,333.33 MCF × 1.25 MMBtu/MCF = 1,666,666.66 MMBtu of natural gas per well in year one
$15,000,000 first-year revenue per well × 1 producing well = $15,000,000 first-year unit revenue
100.0% of baseline commodity pricing · your production mix determines oil, gas, and NGL weighting
NGL uses a Mont Belvieu propane price converted to dollars per barrel; it is a proxy, not a full mixed-barrel composite.
$15,000,000 first-year revenue from 1 well is distributed across 12 declining production months; modeled month 1 unit revenue of $1,860,833 × 0.031250% revenue interest = $582 first-month gross royalty
First-year production is spread across 12 declining months. The first check combines roughly 4 months of accrued net royalties after applicable deductions, so it may be larger than one production month. Later checks usually reflect individual production months and may arrive on a separate payment cycle.
WHY NET ROYALTIES CAN FALL FASTER
If production drops, gross royalties usually drop with it. When allowable post-production deductions also take a larger share of the remaining revenue, the owner’s actual check can fall even further.
Initial royalty payments often begin after ownership verification, division orders, operator setup, and the applicable payment schedule. A first payment may cover several earlier production months, but timing, amounts, suspense, and payment requirements vary by operator, state, title status, and lease.
Illustrative estimates only. Multiple wells are assumed to have the same per-well production, start timing, ownership decimal, and decline curve. Actual revenue interests may also depend on pooled acreage, allocation factors, title, lease language, production, prices, operator accounting, and applicable law. Post-production deductions are not necessarily operating expenses, and some leases prohibit or limit them.
