The oil and gas industry has seen its fair share of technology advancements over its 162 year year history in the United States.

MRP 127: Justin Huhn and the Bull Case for Uranium Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

We continue our theme on investing with a somewhat unconventional topic this week. While our primary focus is still on oil and gas, we wanted to dig in (pun intended) to the uranium market to see if the push towards a lower carbon future might open up opportunities for mineral owners that own property in areas with Uranium deposits. I'm really excited about this discussion because I didn't know much about the Uranium market and the bull case for Uranium until this interview. Our guest, Justin Huhn, does a great job of breaking down the fundamental case for Uranium and how you can benefit from this unique opportunity.

We also talk about the future of nuclear energy and how it fits into a low carbon energy mix. Plus, the little talked about side-effects from our transition to solar and wind. If you own mineral rights near potential uranium deposits or if you are looking to learn more about this unique sector, be sure to listen to find out how you can take advantage of this opportunity.

In this episode we do a deep dive on the ways you can invest in mineral rights, royalties, and non-operated Working Interests. Both Justin and I have been asked by family members or listeners how they can invest in mineral rights and royalties so we wanted to cover this in more depth to help you understand the different options that are available.

MRP 124: What to Know About Becoming a Non-Consenting Mineral Owner Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, we discuss the concept of not signing an oil and gas lease when you are force pooled and deciding to not participate in the drilling of a well. This is also referred to as going non-consent to the drilling of a well. There is a lot to consider when becoming a non-consenting mineral owner.

We discuss things to consider with the risk penalty that you will be assessed on the non-operated working interest that you now own, and what can happen if additional wells are drilled in the future.

There is a lot to unpack in this episode so be sure to listen so you understand your options. As always, this episode is being shared for educational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice.

MRP 123: How to Hire a Mineral Manager Sep 22, 2021

In our last episode, we covered the a la carte method of getting help with your mineral rights and royalties. Specifically, when and how to hire a landman, attorney or engineer for help.

In this episode, we talk about hiring a full-service mineral manager to get help with all aspects of managing your property. In fact, this episode was also in response to another listener question. Carol wrote in asking for advice on hiring a professional mineral manager to help her with her portfolio.

If you've ever wondered what types of services a professional mineral manager offers, how much their services cost, and how to go about finding the right mineral manager for you, then be sure to listen to the end.

MRP 122: Managing Mineral Rights in Another State and How to Get Help Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Beth recently wrote in and gave an excellent suggestion on a topic that I realized we hadn't covered in a single episode. She wrote asking for "advice on managing mineral rights from far away, particularly what services I can expect from an attorney, what might be better handled by an independent engineer or landman, or what I'll have to do myself."

This is a very common situation where you may own mineral rights or royalty interests in another state and you need to research your interests either through the county courthouse or the state oil and gas commission or you may need the services of a professional in that state but you may not be able to meet with them in person.

What we are going to cover today are some tips for managing mineral rights and royalties from out of state and how to go about hiring a professional to get help and what types of professionals can help with different steps along the way.
