The owner has provided their December check, which was $1,340 and above the average of $1,200/month we are representing.  We do not have a copy of the November check currently.

***Price Update***

The seller needs to sell these mineral rights immediately.  We have made an aggressive price reduction to $75,000 from the original price of $105,000.   Please submit your best offers and they will be considered.

This is an exceptional opportunity to buy mineral rights that provide an immediate ROI, exposure to rising natural gas prices, and long term upside potential.

There is currently a single vertical well producing on a 524.1 acre unit.   This well was drilled to 5,500 feet in 2019 and has been a very solid gas producer along with some oil production as well.    There is strong upside potential in drilling additional vertical wells or horizontal wells in the future.

The lease agreements and deeds attached appear to show the owner with 42.4 NMA.  However, the plat map and our ownership calculation would show it slightly higher at 42.63 NMA.  We are assuming a 20% lease based upon the past lease from 2011 at 20% and the fact that a 20% lease would make the ownership calculation match the plat map acreage provided exactly. This means the owner of these mineral rights has 42.4 NMA, or 64.78 NRA.

Over the last couple of months, the seller has received an average of $1,200/month.  However, on the royalty statements you can see that the gas price was just $2.11 in October and $2.27, while today we are sitting just over $3.00.  This means the royalty checks should increase by approximately 40% in the coming months making the royalty income closer to $1,600/month at $3 gas by our estimates.

At $1,200/month, you are getting a 7.29 year pay back or 13.7% rate of return with large upside potential from any future drilling, workovers, or recompletes.  As income increases due to higher gas prices, and assuming $1,600/month royalty income, your pay back is just 5.5 years or 18.32% + upside potential.

This is a great opportunity to pick up a property generating immediate ROI with strong future upside potential.

Important:  The sellers desire is to sell this property quickly.  For financial reasons, speed in closing is very important here and a fast close will be a priority.   The seller does have $1,520.43 as of 11/14/2023 in property taxes due to Grimes County.  She understands that this will be deducted from the purchase price at closing.

No surface ownership conveys with these mineral rights.

All offers should be based upon the NDI on the check stubs.  We are not representing a specific number of acres owned even though the documentation provides a pretty clear picture that this is right around 42.4 NMA / 64.78 NRA.  No adjustments would be allowed unless title shows the operator has been paying incorrectly and the NDI is wrong and then only the NDI proven in title would convey.
