The Foundation of Our Approach
Experience That Supports Premium Oil and Gas Mineral Value
Buffalo Geoscience brings more than 40 years of Appalachian Basin oil and gas experience, including extensive oil and gas mineral acquisition, evaluation, and transaction experience across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Buffalo Geoscience was founded by Stuart Loewenstein, a geologist and geophysicist with more than 40 years of oil and gas experience, but his career has also been closely tied to the oil and gas mineral business. He has led and completed hundreds of successful oil and gas mineral transactions across the Utica and Marcellus Shale plays, including mineral acquisitions, land strategy, asset evaluations, title and deal review, divestitures, and business development.
That mineral experience matters because oil and gas mineral value is not determined by acreage alone. The geology beneath your property, nearby drilling and development activity, production potential, lease terms, title status, operator activity, buyer interest, timing, and transaction structure can all affect value.
Buffalo Geoscience brings those factors together with long-standing industry relationships and practical mineral transaction experience to identify opportunities that can bring out the strongest value in your oil and gas mineral rights.
Factors That Influence the Value of Your Mineral Rights
The value of your mineral rights is not determined by a county average or a simple price per acre. Geology, nearby development, operator activity, lease terms, ownership records, timing, and current buyer interest can all influence what your minerals may be worth.
Experience That Can Bring Out Premium Value
Our founder has worked extensively across the Appalachian Basin, including the Marcellus and Utica Shales. He has also contributed to technical research and publications through Oil & Gas Journal, AAPG, and the Geological Society of America.
That combination of geological knowledge, development experience, and an understanding of how oil and gas transactions get done can uncover value that may not be apparent in a simple offer letter or county average—and enable you to pursue premium value for your oil and gas mineral rights.

Working Through the Process
Understanding the Mineral Rights Process
Selling mineral rights can involve a lot of moving parts. A mineral owner may need to consider the offer, ownership records, lease terms, producing wells, undeveloped acreage, proposed units, division orders, closing documents, and timing of payment.
Guided Support Through Every Transaction
At Buffalo Geoscience, we work through those details with mineral owners in a practical and organized way. The goal is to make the process clear, keep the transaction moving, and stay focused on bringing out strong value for the property.
Every mineral property is different. That is why experience matters.
