Questions mineral owners ask us.

Every offer is free, and you are never obligated to sell. We walk you through how we reached the number so you can decide with full information, whether you sell to us, sell later or keep your minerals.

Any one of these is enough to get started:

• A recent check stub from the operator
• Your oil and gas lease
• The county, section, township and range of your minerals

The more you send, the faster we can return an offer.

That is common, especially with inherited minerals. Call or email us with whatever you have and we will help you sort out what you own. Our glossary explains township and range if you are looking at an old deed.

A check stub shows exactly what you own under the wells that are producing: the operator, the wells and your decimal interest in each. It is the quickest way for us to value producing minerals.

In five states: Colorado (DJ and Piceance basins), North Dakota (Williston Basin), Oklahoma (Anadarko Basin), Utah (Uinta Basin) and Wyoming (Powder River and DJ basins). Each state page shows the geology we use to value minerals there.

Every offer goes through the same five-step evaluation: land, lease, geology, engineering and financial. We estimate how much oil and gas your minerals are likely to produce, then price that production. Your offer comes with the reasoning behind it.

No. In many cases we suggest selling only a portion, so you take cash today and keep a share of future production.

Yes. We buy both producing and non-producing minerals. Every offer goes through the same five-step evaluation, whether or not your minerals are producing today.

Generally one month from the date we make it. If you need more time, call us and we will talk it through.

We pay a lump sum of cash within 10 business days after you sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

In one lump sum, by wire transfer or check: your choice.

No. TRP Minerals pays the recording and closing costs.

After closing, the operator is notified of the sale and begins paying the new owner. The Purchase and Sale Agreement sets the effective date that decides who receives payment for production before and after the sale.

Yes. Documents you send are stored in TRP's secure database, and only management and employees with permission can view them.

Yes. Selling minerals can have tax consequences that depend on your situation. TRP Minerals does not give tax or legal advice, so we encourage you to talk with your own advisor before you sign.

Our managing partners lead the geology, land and financial work behind every offer. You can reach us directly at 713.777.6400 or info@thunder-river.com.
