What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights give you ownership of the resources located below the surface of your land, such as oil, gas, or other minerals. These rights can be leased, inherited, sold, or held as a long-term investment. Learn more on our Mineral Rights Basics page.
What are oil and gas royalties?
Royalties are payments made to mineral owners when oil or gas is produced and sold from their property. They represent the owner’s share of the revenue from production, based on the terms of their lease or interest.
Royalty payments can vary in timing and amount. Some are paid monthly, while others are paid less often depending on the operator, the size of the payments, and state requirements.
Why do people sell mineral rights or royalties?
- Converting small or unpredictable royalty payments into a lump-sum payout
- Simplifying paperwork
- Estate and inheritance planning
- Diversifying investments into other assets
