How to sell mineral rights in North Dakota

There are really two different ways to sell mineral rights.  You can try and sell them on your own or you can work with a broker.   We’re going to explore both options and help you understand the pros and cons.

When you sell mineral rights on your own, this is considered the shotgun approach to selling mineral rights.  Taking the shotgun approach involves reaching out to mineral buyers on your own.   The goal is obviously to find the highest price possible.   When you reach out to mineral buyers in North Dakota you are hoping to find that needle in a haystack.   The mineral buyer who is going to pay you the highest price.

What many mineral owners don’t understand is that there are thousands of mineral buyers.  Every buyer comes up with their owner formula for mineral rights value.  Due to this, you will see a large range of offers from mineral buyers.    A lot of mineral owners reach out to just a handful of buyers.  After gathering just a few offers, they select the highest one and sell mineral rights.   This is a huge mistake!   If you do this, you may think you got a good deal because the price your mineral buyer paid was higher than the other mineral buyers.

What you didn’t realize is that there were thousands of other buyers out there who wanted a shot at buying your minerals.   It may seem like you got a good deal but you likely sold for far less than what other mineral buyers would have paid.  You simply can’t reach out to enough buyers to get a fair price when you sell on your own!

Rather than sell mineral rights on your own using the shotgun approach, we recommend selling with a reputable broker like US Mineral Exchange.  The reason is that they will quickly get your property in front of thousands of mineral rights buyers.   This gives you the best chance to get the absolute highest price.  The competition that is created by listing at US Mineral Exchange leads to higher price.  We have talked to numerous mineral owners who sold at US Mineral Exchange and got offers significantly higher than what they found on their own.    We consistently recommend this company because they have been in business the longest (since 2012) compared to other brokers, they have the largest network of mineral buyers, and they get the best pricing in the market.

Another key advantage of working with a reputable broker is contacts.  Attorneys are expensive and may not fully understand oil and gas transactions.  A reputable broker knows how to the contracts should be structured.   You can avoid being taken advantage of by tricky contract language by working with a reputable mineral rights broker.

Before you sell mineral rights in North Dakota carefully consider your options.  Selling on your own may seem like a smart decision at first.  However, you will likely sell for considerably less money and you leave yourself open to being taken advantage of with a complicated contract.

Mineral Rights Value in North Dakota

One of the most common questions we get from mineral owners in North Dakota is about mineral rights value.  You may be wondering, “How much are my mineral rights worth?”.  This is a difficult question to answer!  It seems like you should be able to find a website that will tell you the approximate value of mineral rights in North Dakota.  If you can Zillow the value of your home, why can’t you find the value of mineral rights in North Dakota online?

The reason is that every property is 100% unique!  The mineral rights that you own might be right next door to some other mineral rights.  However, there can be some very big differences between them.  For example, if you have mineral rights that are currently leased and an operator has 12 permits to drill 12 new wells, it will have significantly more value than your neighbors property that already has 12 wells on it that have been producing for 10 years.   There is only so much oil underground.  As that oil is extracted, the value of your mineral rights goes down as there is simply less oil to extract.   The mineral rights value in North Dakota is all about the price of oil, how much oil is left, and when it will be extracted.

Every mineral owner is in a different stage of the process.  This is why it’s impossible to get an accurate estimate of mineral rights value in North Dakota.

We can provide you with a rule of thumb estimate for mineral rights value in North Dakota.   Keep in mind that this is only an estimate!  As we mentioned above, there are many factors at work.   How old the wells are, current oil prices, your lease royalty rate, who your operator is, and many more factors play a role in mineral rights value.

With all that in mind, here is how to estimate mineral rights value in North Dakota.  The estimate of mineral rights value will come down to where your mineral rights are in the process.  They can either be producing minerals, non-producing but leased mineral rights, or non-producing mineral rights.

Producing Mineral Rights Value in North Dakota

If you own producing mineral rights, this means you get an oil and gas royalty check each month for your share of production.  A very simple rule of thumb for producing mineral rights is 4 to 6 years times your average monthly income.  This is the average monthly income from the 3 most recent royalty checks you received.

You can use our oil royalty calculator below.  Simply enter the average amount you receive each month and the oil royalty calculator will give you a range of values:

Most buyers will pay between 4 years and 6 years of production based on the average monthly royalty check you receive. Enter your average monthly royalty check below to see how much your royalty could be worth.

Non-Producing but Leased Mineral Rights Value

If you own mineral rights that are currently leased, but do not generate royalty income, you have non-producing but leased mineral rights.  A good rule of thumb for mineral rights value on leased mineral rights is 2x to 3x the lease bonus.  Once again, the value can easily be above or below this range but this is a good rule of thumb mineral rights value for leased mineral rights.

Non-Producing Mineral Rights Value

If you have non-producing mineral rights that are not currently leased, the value is going to be very low to $0.  If you haven’t had an active lease in the last 3 years, there is a good chance the current value of mineral rights is $0.   Unless you have an active offer on the table the value of mineral rights is simply not there as mineral buyers don’t want something that doesn’t generate cash.
