Comments:

This is an opportunity to buy mineral rights in Reeves County Texas with substantial upside.   These mineral rights were leased for $300,000, or $6,000/NMA in 2018 for 3 years with an exceptional lease, but no drilling occurred.

The owner originally had 49.56 acres.  When they leased these at $6,000/NMA, they rounded this up to 50 NMA which is why the lease bonus was a clean $300,000.    The lease provided for a 25% royalty, pugh clause, continuous drilling clause, and a depth limit / release from lease 500′ below the deepest formation.  This was a solid lease and highlights the strength of this area.

There is production in all locations surrounding this acreage.  There is an active rig running just to the East.  There are multiple DUC wells to the Northwest.  We included a map which shows the lease activity from 2023 to present.  While this activity is mainly to the North and East, it is very close to the subject acreage.  When you take the large lease bonus and surrounding activity into account, this is excellent acreage that will fit perfectly into a long term hold portfolio in Reeves County.

It is worth noting that a lot of the wells in this area have substantial gas production.  With natural gas prices on the rise, this is a great time to add this position to your portfolio.

The owner had 49.56 NMA, but sold 10 NMA in 2023.  He now has 39.56 NMA remaining.  Of that 39.56 NMA, he would like to sell 50% of his ownership or 19.78 NMA.  However, if the price is right he would consider selling 100% of his remaining ownership being 39.56 NMA.

Title risk should be low here as the lease bonus of $300,000 should have required solid title work to be completed.

The starting bid price on this listing is $8,000/NMA.  If you were to get a similar lease to the 2018 lease at $6,000/NMA, you would recoup 75% of your invest on the lease bonus alone!  At $8,000/NMA and assuming a lease at 25%, you would be getting acreage in Reeves county at an effective $4,000/net royalty acre.  If you received a lease bonus of $6,000/NMA, you would be getting acreage at just $1,000/NRA net of the lease bonus.

For this listing, we are requiring the following:

1. 1. Special Warranty Deed
   2. 30 Day Close
   3.  All bids should be based upon 19.78 NMA unleased.  Any adjustments over 10% must be mutually agreeable.
