How much are my mineral rights worth?

The value of mineral rights depends on many factors including location, production history, nearby well performance, and current market conditions. Double Fraction Minerals provides free, no-obligation valuations based on comprehensive market analysis.

How long does it take to sell mineral rights?

With Double Fraction Minerals, most transactions close within 30 days or less from initial contact. Our streamlined process ensures efficient evaluation, clear communication, and quick closing.

How We Value Your Royalties

Many “we buy minerals” companies act like their pricing is a dark secret. We don’t operate that way. Here is exactly how we calculate what your minerals are worth.

1. Current Production (The “Base”)

We look at your last 3-6 months of check stubs. We apply a :Decline Curve to forecast how much oil that well will produce over the next 10+ years. All wells produce less over time, so we discount future cash flows.

We also factor in the :type curve for your specific area. A well in the Delaware Basin declines differently than one in the Eagle Ford.

2. Undeveloped Potential (The “Upside”)

This is where the real value lies. Do you own land where there are no wells yet, but operators are drilling nearby?

We analyze :permit filings and geological maps to estimate how many new wells could be drilled on your land. We look at:

Active rigs within 2 miles
Horizontal drilling targets in your formation
The operator’s track record and acreage position

We pay you not just for what you have today, but for what you might have tomorrow.

3. Risk Adjustments

Not all potential is created equal. We discount for:

:Held By Production (HBP) clauses that might keep land tied up
Operators with a history of slow development
Commodity price volatility

Our Commitment to Transparency

After we run our numbers, we’ll show you how we arrived at our offer. No black boxes, no games.

:decline-curve

Decline Curve Analysis. The engineering method used to predict the future drop in oil production from a well. All wells decline; understanding how fast is key to valuation. Most wells decline 60-80% in the first year.

:type-curve

A standardized production forecast for a typical well in a specific area. It’s based on historical data from similar wells and helps us estimate what a new well might produce.

:permit-filing

A public document filed with state regulators (like the Texas Railroad Commission) before drilling a new well. We monitor permit activity to identify where drilling is heading.

:hbp

Held By Production. A lease clause that keeps a lease active as long as there is production—even minimal production—from the land. This can lock up undeveloped acreage for years.
