MRP 138: How High Oil Prices and Inflation Will Affect Royalty Owners Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

You may be wondering how the current economic trends like high inflation might affect oil prices over the next couple of years. If we could look through the crystal ball to figure out what commodity prices will do it would certainly help us have a better understanding of the value of our producing royalties.

We hear a lot about high inflation and oil prices in the news lately as the economic recovery seems to have gotten away from the Federal Reserve and their lagging monetary policy. One thing is clear, interest rates are going to rise but if you're like me you may be wondering how this is going to affect our mineral rights and royalties? And, more importantly, you may be wondering if there are ways to protect your hard earned savings against the damaging effects of inflation?

To break this down, we took a look at a few of the economic measures and how commodities like crude oil were correlated to things like the relative strength of the US Dollar and inflation to see what these factors might due to future oil and gas prices. Plus, we talk about a technology innovation that may help our royalty checks and act as a long term store of value in the process.

MRP 137: Seismic Exploration Agreements Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

Seismic exploration is the process of using seismic energy to probe below the surface of the earth to search for oil and gas. The agreements that grant a company access to land in order to shoot seismic is called a seismic survey agreement. While seismic exploration was the primary method for finding oil and gas deposits in the past, it is still used in unconventional resource plays to identify and avoid faults and fractures which can cause issues during drilling or completions. Listen to learn more about what you need to know before signing a seismic exploration agreement.
