There are a number of ways that one could sell their oil and gas royalty, lease, overriding royalty interest or mineral rights. This article will look at a few of the more popular methods.
Private Buyer
You can sell your oil and gas royalty to a private buyer. You may have family or friends that actively invest in oil and gas royalties. If so, they may be interested in purchasing. Alternatively, you could sell your oil and gas lease to us (Nationwide Royalties). We buy producing and non-producing oil and gas royalties, leases and overriding royalty interests from individual royalty owners, estates, trusts, institutions and oil and gas companies throughout the entire United States. One of the major advantages to selling an oil and gas royalty to a private buyer is that there are no fees to the seller and they can usually sell quickly and discreetly. In addition, we offer royalty owners a no risk way to value their property simply by submitting a bid request through our website. After we receive your request, we will make you a lump sum cash offer to buy your royalty which you can accept or reject. To learn more about us, please click here.
Auction
You can sell your oil and gas royalty at auction. Traditionally, larger oil and gas royalties have been sold at auction. This form of divestiture has upsides and downsides and can be compared to selling a house using a real estate agent. For example, the auctioneer will advertise and market your royalty to potential buyers and then typically take a percentage of the proceeds generated from the sale of your royalty. If you decide to go the auction route, you can hold a live in person auction or contract with a company like EnergyNet that will hold an online auction. Again, there are pluses and minuses to both forms of auction. One of the more prominent downsides is that it takes time to auction an oil and gas royalty and if you are in need of quick cash for some reason, this may not be your best choice. Also, by holding an in person or online auction of your oil and gas royalty, you and your asset(s) become public and you may loose any form of privacy in the transaction.
In Person Oil and Gas Auction
In person auctions are limited to a specific geographic area and you may receive less or more then what you wanted for your property (unless you set a minimum bid). However, an in person auction may draw local royalty owners / investors that have a unique knowledge of your property, which could lead to a more profitable sale of the asset. One of the leading in person royalty auctioneers is The Oil & Gas Asset Clearinghouse. You can learn more about their services by visiting their website: http://www.ogclearinghouse.com
Online Oil and Gas Auction
Online auctions are not limited to a specific geographic area but you may run into the same sort of problem of receiving less or more then what you wanted for your property (unless you set a minimum bid). Online oil and gas royalty auctions are modeled similar to the likes of eBay.com. You as the royalty owner contract with the online auctioneer to advertise and market your property to potential buyers. They will then list your property for sale on their website where registered users can place bids to buy your property 24 hours a day until the auction is over. One of the major upsides to going to online route would be that the auction can be spread out over a number of days, weeks or months allowing you to gain more exposure on the property. Additionally, online auctions can draw royalty investors from all over the world that may have not been able to or did not want to attend an in person auction. One of the leading online royalty auctioneers is EnergyNet. You can learn more about their services by visiting their website: http://www.energynet.com
