Producing Oil and Gas Mineral Rights in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia

Buffalo Geoscience has the experience and industry relationships to provide premium value for producing mineral interests throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Producing minerals generate current royalty income, but their sale value is not based on the latest royalty check alone. Production history, decline trends, lease terms, unit position, remaining reserves and future development potential can all influence what a producing interest is worth.

Producing Minerals Can Have Value Beyond Current Royalties

Existing wells establish a production history, but they may represent only part of a property's value. Undrilled acreage, additional well locations and other formations may create value beyond the income being received today.

Buyers may evaluate the same producing interest differently based on commodity-price assumptions, production declines, post-production deductions, operator activity and expectations for future drilling. As a result, offers for the same property can vary substantially.

What Can Affect the Value of Producing Mineral Rights?

Important considerations may include:

  • Recent royalty statements, production volumes and decline trends
  • Operator activity, unit configuration and remaining drilling locations
  • Royalty percentage, lease provisions and post-production deductions

Premium Value Requires More Than a Simple Royalty Multiple

Some buyers base offers primarily on a multiple of recent royalty income. Buffalo Geoscience takes a broader view. With more than 40 years of Appalachian Basin oil and gas experience, we use production history, geology, development potential, lease terms, regional transaction activity and long-standing industry relationships to provide premium value for producing mineral interests throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
