Advantages of working with us...

Whether we contact a mineral owner or they contact us, we will engage with you quickly and efficiently to see if we can make a suitable offer on your minerals or royalty interest.
Our goal is to keep the process as simple as possible so that the paperwork and closing process is transparent and straightforward. Most Arena Minerals purchases are either mineral interests or royalty interests.

What’s the difference? And how does this affect the paperwork and closing process?

Mineral Interests

Mineral interests are perpetual rights to develop or produce minerals from land.
The mineral owners own the oil, gas and other minerals below the surface.
This includes the right to lease this right to others.
Minerals are real property interests that can be bought or sold like surface rights.
When you own mineral rights, you are hoping that your property will be drilled on and that there will be a commercial oil or gas discovery.
The first step in any drilling is leasing the minerals from the owner (lessor). The oil company (lessee) signs a lease with the mineral owner who is paid a lease bonus and a royalty percentage entitling them to a share of any future income.
At the expiration of the lease, all development rights revert back to the mineral owner.

Royalty interests are defined in the lease agreement.
Royalty interests are non-perpetual rights and expire when the underlying lease expires.
Royalty interests can be bought and sold like mineral interests.
Once drilling occurs, and there is a successful oil or gas well producing, you will receive your proportionate share of the income based on your royalty percentage.
Royalty rights extend through the life of the well for as long as the lease is “held” by production.
At the expiration of the lease, all development rights revert back to the mineral owner.
