Update: 4/11/2023

The seller heard back from their family attorney that the new lease is currently on hold.  The company who was potentially going to lease the acreage determined that Conoco owns a significant mineral interest in the area, so they decided to back off the lease for now.  A lease could be worked out with Conoco in the future.

We are leaving the offer sheet the same.  The assumption should be 3.35 NMA on those items highlighted in Yellow and the bids for that acreage should assume unleased acreage of 3.35 NMA.   The seller agrees that no payment shall be due from buyer to seller as previously mentioned since the lease fell through.  You are effectively buying 3.35 NMA of unleased acreage and you can lease this acreage for an immediate ROI.

_________________________

This is an opportunity to buy a nice amount acreage in an excellent location.  From the attached map, you can see this ownership is absolutely surrounded by rigs and permit activity.  This is not fringe acreage, it’s right in the core of all the activity.

There are a lot of moving parts on this particular listing, but in total it represents a great opportunity for buyers.  There is current cash flow, leasing activity, active permits, and a rig next door that is almost certain to move onto this acreage.   With current cash flow, near term upside, long term upside, and diversification, this is a great opportunity for buyers to expand their footprint in Reagan County.

The acreage breaks down as follows:

32.01 NRA HBP
2.29 NMA Leased
3.35 NMA Proposed Lease
.7 Unknown

There are 3 currently active units:

The Gould A 1 well (2.8 NRA) is an old vertical well that is barely hanging onto a 646 acre unit.  There were 5 permits filed for the “Pink Floyd” wells in late February 2023.  The operator has a rig running one section over right next to where these permits were filed.  It’s virtually certain this rig will slide over and drill those permits due to the age of the Gould A 1 and how much acreage it’s currently holding in such a core position.   This represents a very high probability of near time upside for the buyer.

There are another 11.1 NRA in the Gould Lou well.  This is a 640 acre unit with this single vertical well from 1997 holding it.   The operator on this is DE IV so it’s also possible some new permits are filed on this acreage and that rig continues it’s path towards this acreage.  While this acreage may not be drilled immediately, this acreage is in a prime spot with only a single vertical well providing a much greater probability of upside compared to other investments.

The Loftin Hughes 13-1212 well is comprised of both ORRI and RI for a combined 12.2 NRA.  There are currently 5 active permits for more Loftin Hughes wells.  These permits were filed in early March 2023.   The operator, Earthstone, has a rig running just to the North and East of this position.  This is provides another good possibility for near term upside on this acreage.

Note:  We are representing a 25% royalty rate on this listing based on the recent lease agreements and proposed leases.  We are not representing 25% for the HBP acreage, only the number of NRA.

Leased Acreage

K-9 Leased approximately 2.3 acres in March 2023.  We believe the lease rate on this one was just over $4,000/NMA.   This is a 25% lease so we are estimating 4.58 NRA owned by the seller.

Proposed Lease

There is currently a proposed lease that the seller’s family believe represents 3.35 NMA.  This lease supposedly covers the same acreage as the Driftwood lease from 2018, which we have attached for reference.  If that is correct, this lease would cover A-726, A-173, & A-116 (E/2 as W/2 is in production and HBP).  The family is currently negotiating a 25% lease, $5,000/NMA lease bonus, and only an 18 month primary with optional 18 month extension.   This is a great sign that this acreage will be drilled soon with such a short primary term + extension.

Please note that on this acreage, we are looking for net mineral acre offers, but the rest of the acreage should be on a per net royalty acre basis.  As there is unleased acreage here, the NRA would be double the 3.35, but since the lease has not been signed we will just make the offers based upon NMA.

Important:  The seller is entitled to sign this lease agreement up until closing with a buyer and collect the lease bonus payable even after closing occurs.  If the seller has not signed a lease agreement prior to closing, the buyer must pay an additional $16,763, which represents their portion of the lease bonus which is currently under negotiation.  Please factor this into your offer.

Note: Private email communications can be provided to the buyer after offer verbal acceptance, pending sellers approval, to show the status of this ongoing negotiation.

Unknown Acreage

We estimate there are a couple locations the seller has ownership but we do not know the status.  These could be leased, HBP within some of the units they are already in pay on, or open.  We don’t feel this acreage is material in size, but please make your offers accordingly as we don’t know the status.

A diagram of interests has been provided which gives a rough idea of the family overview.  We have also included a “Mineral Deed – Family Member” which just shows the legal locations listed out.  This deed is not for our client.

We have attached an “offer worksheet” for this listing since there are a lot of moving parts here.  We are requesting that all buyers submit their offers using this offer worksheet.  You can enter your price per NRA / NMA in the worksheet and submit this as your offer.  This will allow the seller to compare offers on an apples to apples basis since the status of each tract varies so greatly.

We have listed cash flow at the total of the two check stubs provided.  The cash flow is not relevant to this deal given the size.

The starting bid price on this package is $345,000.  If the NRA/NMA estimate is in the ballpark, this acreage is being offered for sale at a blended rate of right around $8,500/NRA.   When you consider the location, near term upside, active permits, recent leasing activity, and diversification, this a very attractive starting bid price.
