Estimating Oil and Gas Royalties Value
Estimating the value of oil and gas royalties in North Dakota is the easiest. The reason is that the monthly royalty check you receive is how buyers evaluate your property. Generally speaking, buyers will pay somewhere in the range of 4 years to 6 years times the average amount you receive each month. This varies by mineral rights buyer but it’s a good rule of thumb.

With the range provided above, you at least have a starting place for the value of oil and gas royalties in North Dakota. Keep in mind that there are a lot of factors in play. Oil royalty buyers in North Dakota will base the value on all these factors. This means your property could be worth more or less than the estimate above.
Estimating the value of leased mineral rights
If your property is currently leased that’s great news. It means operators are interested in drilling in your area. It also means that buyers are going to be interested in your property as well. We can do a very rough estimate of value based on your lease bonus. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to get between 2x to 3x the lease bonus amount per acre. For example, if your property was leased for $1,000/acre, you could sell it for $2,000 to $3,000/acre.
Keep in mind that this number is a very rough ball park estimate. If your property was leased a few years ago when oil prices were very high it is probably worth less than this estimate. If you did not get a very good lease and got a low lease bonus, your property could be a worth a lot more than the estimate. There’s really no way to know for sure what it’s worth until you sell.
Estimating the value of non-leased mineral rights
If your property is not leased and not producing oil and gas royalties each month, there will not be a lot of demand for your property. That doesn’t mean your property is worthless. It just means that you are going to have to wait longer to find a buyer. You will also sell at a much lower price than other properties that are leased or producing. There is simply less demand. In addition, coming up with an estimate for the value of mineral rights in North Dakota in this case is not possible. The value is going to be highly dependent on finding the right buyer who wants to take a risk on your property and hold it for a very long time.
